Review from Dawn I (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 91-year-old father moved into Ridley Manor in March 2025. He lost his wife in September 2024 and was struggling to cope on his own.
He was made to feel very welcome from day one and soon settled in and began to make friends. There were plenty of activities going on and he was encouraged to join
in with whatever appealed to him. He enjoyed having people around to chat and have a laugh with.
However, just prior to moving into Ridley Manor he was diagnosed with a terminal condition, and his health deteriorated rapidly. So, sadly his time there was cut short. The care that he received during those final weeks and days was excellent. The staff could not do enough for him and looked after him with kindness and compassion.
We will be forever grateful that we chose Ridley Manor to take care of my dad at this difficult time.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley Manor

Hi Dawn thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience.
It is lovely to hear that your father was made welcome from day one and settled in, making new friends after sadly losing his wife and struggling to cope at home on his own, the lifestyle team work hard to try and ensure that they offer something for everyone, with all of us being available for a chat and a laugh as and when needed. We were all just deeply saddened we didn't get to spend as much time with him as we would have liked due to his terminal condition, but take comfort in knowing that we were able to provide him with excellent care, kindness and compassion in his final weeks and he is now at peace with his beloved wife.
Thank you for your time, please don't be strangers you are welcome here anytime.
Many thanks the Ridley Manor team

My Dad (91) has recently become a resident at Ridley Manor and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support my Dad has received. From the first day, the staff have created a warm, welcoming, and truly homely environment. The team are attentive and kind, treating residents with the dignity and
respect. The facilities are very clean and comfortable. There's a strong emphasis on keeping residents engaged with a wide variety of activities, which has had a noticeably positive effect on my Dad's wellbeing. Most importantly, I have complete peace of mind knowing my Dad is in safe hands. Communication from the home is excellent and they keep us regularly updated. Thank you to everyone at Ridley Manor for your continued dedication.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursing staff are wonderful at Ridley Manor. Mum has had a lot of infections in the past 12 months. She falls fast and a few hours can make the difference between staying at the home or hospitalisation. For a dementia sufferer with hearing loss, hospital is traumatic and distressing. Their ability
to notice minute changes in mum and the speed with which they have got doctors to prescribe antibiotics have stopped mum going to hospital more than she has, and unnecessarily. Their genuine care is much appreciated. The carers are kind, thoughtful and keen to always improve her wellbeing. The home is clean and well appointed with lovely activities. Thank you.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley Manor

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with your wonderful comments, wherever possible we will try and minimise hospital admission, as it is clear how distressing and traumatic any hospital visit can be. Getting to know the residents is extremely important for all team members as this provides them with the knowledge and intel to try and notice when things aren't quite right and the detection of a possible infection to get the right treatment as soon as possible, this is so pleasing to hear that this has been evident in your mothers care with us here at Ridley Manor.Thank you for your time, and we look forward to seeing you.Many thanks the Ridley Manor team

I had to find a care home for my elderly neighbour he is 93 and has dementia nursing staff and social services said he could no longer have at live at home on his own. Never married. I have been his neighbour for 54 years and have POA he has no family, so was left to me to find him a care home, he has
always lived in the home on the end, so went to see Ridley Manor. I liked what I saw so he went into respite care for 4 weeks. Settled in well so now in for longterm. He has a lovely room, the staff are very caring. He is looked after very well, he loves the food, he's kept nice and clean, likes all the staff. Ridley Manor have put my mind at rest, to know I have done the right thing for my neighbour.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the time I entered the revolving doors to the day I left Ridley Manor I was happy.
The staff were magnificent and nothing was ever too much trouble for ANYONE.
Entertainment was varied and good
I most enjoyed the visits of the little children from the local nursery who very obviously were delighted
to be visiting us.
The cleanliness throughout the building was exemplary
You could have company or just enjoy being on your own whichever you preferred
The gardens were beautiful and strolling through them in warm sunshine was delightful
The food was varied and there were always choices both in the main corses and sweets
The memory of names and preferences of the residents by the staff amazed me.
I arrived feeling under parr and left feeling so very much better. Thank you Ridley Manor

Mum came into Ridley Manor for a 2-month Respite period. The care and support all the staff provided for my mother over this period was excellent and provided my mother and the family assurances that my Mum would be cared for during a very challenging period. The staff went above and beyond to ensure
Mum was provided the tailored care and support she needed, which enabled Mum to thrive in the care home, getting involved in all of the activities that kept Mum active, engaged, social, and happy. It was a hard decision placing Mum in a care home, but I can honestly say it was the right one for everyone, thanks to the facilities and staff provided by Ridley Manor.

Mum came to Ridley Manor for a respite stay following a couple of falls at home. She was quite shaken up when she arrived but was so well looked after that she soon relaxed and settled in very well. The staff were unvaryingly kind and helpful and genuinely gave the impression that nothing was too much
trouble. Mum's stay at Ridley Manor ultimately lasted eight weeks and by the end of the period her condition had improved, this improvement being due, I am sure, to the care she received during her time there.

My stepfather moved to Ridley Manor in 2022 and has been a resident ever since. He has always been treated very well, with sensitive care and professional consideration as his condition has deteriorated. I have been regularly updated on his general well-being, his happiness, and with reports on any
incidents. This is of particular importance as it is not possible to visit the home. The staff are all good at communicating quickly and with genuine kindness.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum needed urgent respite care, and the manager at RM facilitated this within a few hours. Mum's experience at RM - over a 2-month stay - has been far beyond what we had hoped: the attention from all the staff, the quality of the food, the surroundings, and the evidently high standard of maintenance
were all huge positives, and during her stay, Mum has recovered from being a very poorly old lady to one who is much brighter and back to her normal self (actually, back to the normal self she was a year ago!). Mum made friends at RM, which was an obvious bonus, and the layout of the rooms (including the shared ones) clearly contributed to a good social experience, creating an atmosphere a very long way from my previously blinkered impression of what care would be like: closer to a well-run hotel, with caring staff always in evidence and with a good community spirit amongst the residents.

My father moved into Ridley Manor in August, after living with me for 28 years this was a heartbreaking decision to make.
However, I can truly say that 12 weeks later I can not believe how happy my father is, it has not been an easy transition for him or me but the love support, and kindness we have
received from everyone at the care home has been outstanding.

Finding residential accommodation for my brother was difficult until I “happened” upon Ridley Manor. The building is purpose designed so everything is laid out carefully. It’s the staff though that make this an excellent choice. From my first dealings with the Care Home management, I sensed that this
was going to be my first choice. Having now settled my brother there I can confirm that Ridley Manor fully lives up to expectations. Residents are really cared for and relatives are included not just in decisions about their loved ones but are invited to regular meetings, in-house and online, to discuss any general matters that might arise. Social events, of which there are numerous, always include relatives too. The care concept is extended to us as part of the “Ridley Family”. The atmosphere is that of a happy environment with every need met by staff and I am confident that my brother is in the very best of hands. I highly recommend Ridley Manor.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.911 for Ridley Manor is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 338 Ratings = 4.911
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ridley Manor is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: General Manager

My early career started out in education, but my path stumbled into care and I found my true vocation, working my way up to become a care home manager at another home before joining Ridley Manor.


I have completed a post-graduate diploma in dementia, and currently I am completing my Master’s degree in dementia care too.


To be successful and good as a General Manager, I believe that you should be empathetic, caring, and supportive and have the passion to be able to look after all the changing needs of the residents entrusted into your care. By the same token, you need to be able to support, encourage and motivate your team to be able to achieve their career goals and be the best version of themselves.


My biggest career highlight has been meeting the great Nelson Mandela and being able to spend a few moments in his company.
