I have found all the staff to be pro-active and approachable.
The staff team, at all levels, go out of their way to greet my husband when their paths cross in the bistro at the garden.
The whole family are made very welcome when visiting.
We are very happy to recommend Ridley Manor.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorDear Denise (wife Of Resident) thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience.
It is so wonderful to read your lovely comments about the whole team and how pro-active and approachable they all are. It is really important to us that all visitors are made to feel welcome when visiting, this is the residents home and we hope to think that everyone who comes from the door, feels very much apart of the Ridley family as we are here to support them where we can too. Your recommendation is hugely important to anyone who may be considering care and we really appreciate it.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family again very soon.

My Dad was a resident of Ridley Manor care home for just over two years. The care he received was absolutely excellent in every way. The staff were always very kind to him and made sure he was very comfortable. The home was very communicative with us and kept us up to date and called straight away if
there were any problems.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited 7 care homes before deciding on Ridley Manor and I am delighted with the decision I made.
It provides a warm, welcoming, environment. The staff are amazing. It is very well run and managed. Everyone I have been involved with is highly professional and very caring. Any health concerns relating
to my resident were always dealt with promptly and I was kept well-informed. The staff take great interest in getting to know all of their residents and everyone is treated with respect and dignity. The food always looks delicious and there are always several choices. Staff arrange for visiting professionals to carry out regular sight tests and dental checks which is very helpful. There is a full and varied timetable of activities for all residents which is updated every week. The building, furnishings, decoration and gardens are very well managed and well maintained.
Overall, it is an amazing care home run by amazing staff, and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorThank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We are so happy to hear that you were delighted with the decision you made in choosing Ridley Manor, it gives us great pleasure when we get to read such wonderful comments about not only the home, but all that encompasses it. From the warm welcome, environment, team, management, professionalism and care. The residents are the most important thing to us with respect and dignity being top priority. This is their home and getting to know each and every single one of them as an individual is an honour for us. Food offering is extremely important especially when catering for many varied diets. Gabby our award winning clinical nurse manager, worked tirelessly sourcing external health professionals to visit the home, providing them with eyecare, audiology and a hygienist. The activities are tailored to the residents choice and we also incorporate 1:1 or smaller activities such as Namaste and Tools down for those who prefer this to larger group activities.
Your recommendation means the world to us and we can' t thank you enough.
Many thanks the Ridley Manor team

We always knew we had made the right choice in choosing Ridley Manor for our elderly friend. We visited 7 care homes before making the final decision. The difference in Ridley Manor is obvious as soon as you enter the building. We always felt confident that our friend was in really safe hands. We would
like to thank all the staff for the amazing work that they do in running such a wonderful, professional, caring organisation. You are all truly marvellous!
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorDear P W (power Of Attorney Of Resident) thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience.

To know that we were your first choice after visiting 7 other homes really means a lot to us. We always say to people try and visit as many as you can, as we are all very different, but you will know as soon as you walk in the door whether it feels right or not and we were clearly this for you. Thank you for entrusting your dear friend in to our care and for taking the time to thank the team for all that they do, we really appreciate hearing such wonderful feedback.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We chose Ridley Manor for my mum after she could no longer be cared for at home due to her dementia and risk of falling after suffering a broken hip. She moved there in May 2025 and it was the best thing we could have done. The staff have been absolutely wonderful and I feel have really got to know
her, they always try to engage her in activities they know she'll enjoy and are so kind and patient with her. They have made sure she has the right medical care and always treat her with dignity and respect. Family and friends are always made to feel welcome when they visit and I appreciate that they are encouraged to get involved with events at Ridley Manor. The recent garden party was a joyful event.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorThank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. At Ridley Manor it is extremely important for us to get to know each and everyone of the residents for the individual and unique person that they are, knowing the residents life story is a huge part of getting to know them so we can support them at whatever stage of their dementia journey they are on, by doing this it can also help us identify which activities they may enjoy or might even like to try. Dignity and respect is also very important to each and everyone of us by putting ourselves in the residents shoes allows us to ensure that this is always adhered to. Hearing your wonderful comments truly makes us feel extremely proud to know that you also see all the hard work that the team put in to ensure the residents get the highest standard of care they truly deserve.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to welcoming you soon.

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 ManorHi 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.

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.

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 ManorThank 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

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.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorThank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We are very happy to hear that your mum, due to the support and care that she received was able to relax and settle in quite soon after her initial move to Ridley Manor, we hope that nothing is ever too much trouble and to hear that this was evident in your mother's care and that by the end of her respite stay her condition had improved, really is wonderful and a testament to the team. Thank you for your time. Many thanks The Ridley Manor team.

Review from N L (Stepson of Resident) published on 20 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Reading your kind words about the care your step-father has received since moving into the home in 2022 is lovely. At Ridley Manor family members play an extremely important role, so we can ensure that their loved one is being cared for exactly how they want to be looked after, communication and regular updates are vital in making sure this happens. Thank you for your time. Many thanks from the Ridley Manor team.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Ridley Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 4.942 for Ridley Manor is calculated as follows: ( (343 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 363 Ratings = 4.942
  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 31 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 31 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.

Estelle Adriaans

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.
