Review from Richard B (Son of Resident) published on 18 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
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.
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 pleased to hear that we were able to facilitate an urgent respite care stay for your mother within a few hours of your request. We would like to thank you for your kind words about the team and the services we offer here at Ridley Manor, it is wonderful to see that your mother's stay has supported her recovery and she was able to make friends.

My sister moved into Ridley Manor in September against her will! It was a very traumatic time but all the staff have shown us both only kindness, care, and compassion, and to me, she seems happier than she has been for a long while. Thank you.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorThank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. Although moving into care was not something that your sister initially wanted to do, we are glad to hear that the support from you and the team has been able to show that it can be a positive and happy experience. It is so wonderful to see her enjoying her new home and taking part in a variety of activities. We thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to provide us with a review.

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.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorHi Toni (Daughter Of Resident) thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience.

I have been a resident since the very day in 2022 when they took over. I have been well and kindly looked after. I feel I have a good relationship with the carers, entertainment staff and various department heads and management. Ridley Manor has become a safety net for me currently.

Review from G L (Brother of Resident) published on 6 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I chose Ridley Manor for my sister's palliative care because I was very impressed with the accommodation set in beautiful surroundings. The kindness of the staff and managers also helped in make a difficult decision in which place was best for my sister's life to end.
I made the decision to choose
Ridley Manor and I was not disappointed as the loving care my sister received could not be faulted.
I would like to thank all staff for the care they gave my sister and for bringing her life to a peaceful end.
Reply from Hayley Devereaux, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorHi G (Brother of Resident) thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience.

We are glad that you chose us to make this happen for you and more importantly for her. Thank you for your time and your wonderfully kind words, we wish you and your family all the very best for the future. Many thanks from the Ridley Manor team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Reviews Team, Reviews Team at Ridley ManorThank you very much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. The home is purpose-built to provide ease of access to everyone, but you are right we are so lucky to have such an excellent team in place who truly care. To know that what you expected has fully lived up to your expectations makes us very pleased to hear. This is the resident's home and as you have mentioned we like to welcome relatives as part of the Ridley Manor family too. Thank you for your time, and we look forward to seeing you soon. Many thanks to the Ridley Manor team.

My mum moved into Ridley Manor two months ago. I am really impressed by the standard of care she has received. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They have managed to sort out my mum's blood pressure medication which I had been trying to do for months! Mum has put on weight due to the amazing
food provided! Relatives are always made welcome and the home creates the feeling of one big family. I could not be happier and am so relieved to know my mum is in such good and caring hands. A big thank you to all the staff.

It is so wonderful to hear how impressed you have been with the standard of care that your mother has received since moving in with us, the clinical team being able to resolve the issue with her blood pressure medication and the fact that she has been enjoying the food so much that she has started putting on some weight.

Our mum has been at Ridley Manor care home for over 2 years. During this time we have been very happy with the wonderful care provided by all the staff. From the nursing staff on Mum’s particular floor, medical staff, catering, housekeeping, reception and of course social activities planned by the excellent
‘lifestyles’ team.
The residents are kept safe within the confines of the home and its splendid garden and all relatives are made welcome and able to participate with loved ones in a wealth of activities.
Communication is openly encouraged between relatives and staff management through regular reviews, meetings in person and on video calls.
Our mum is very happy, content and feels very much at home at Ridley Manor.

I come in once a month with my team to provide a worship experience to the residents. The team is fantastic and is a great help in facilitating the experience and making sure the residents are well looked after and cared for. From the organiser to the team inside, everyone plays their part in making
the worship time valuable and enjoyable. The room is always ready for us and very clean. The team at Ridley Manor helps create a wonderful atmosphere and always goes above and beyond to assist the residents and us when we come in. It's a real joy to be able to work with everyone at Ridley Manor.

Both my mum and dad have been looked after in Ridley Manor. My dad is still there and has been a resident for the last 4-5 years. He has been well cared for the whole time, from being pretty self-sufficient when he first joined to his very frail confused self now. The full-time staff are great and really
care, management has been very supportive, proactive and caring to help my dad stay where he is settled and comfortable. The facilities are clean, tidy, well kept and comfortable with a good selection of food, snacks and varied menus.

My father lives at Ridley Manor and has late-stage dementia. The care he receives from both the carers and nursing staff is excellent. Every member of staff whether they work on his floor or elsewhere within the home knows him by name and interacts with him. Many also know me by name and are very supportive
of the family.
Although Dad cannot join in many of the activities now, Ridley Manor does offer a range of entertainment and activities which he has enjoyed in the past.

My mother moved into Ridley Manor in December 2022, initially on a short-term basis but now more permanently. The home is always spotlessly clean and the decor is very attractive. There seem to be many varied activities every single day and mum loves the visits from the local school children. She
also enjoys the musical entertainment especially from visiting singers. The staff are friendly and look after her well. The bistro and the gardens are great places to sit and catch up and enjoy a cup of tea. Mum also enjoys a visit to the in-house hairdresser and a visit from the chiropodist. The home keeps in touch and reports any issues by phone immediately (e.g. when mum had a little fall recently). I would highly recommend Ridley Manor in every aspect.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ridley Manor has consistently provided quite excellent care and support to my wife who sadly has dementia and challenging health and behavioural problems. The Team Leaders and Nurse on her floor are highly skilled, experienced and thoughtful. The staff are kind, patient, and go out of their way to help,
and my wife is always treated with kindness, dignity and good humour. I frequently see her kissing and stroking the hands of carers to show her gratitude. I’m generally there around lunchtime and the food is most tempting. My wife was clinically under-weight on admission 5 months ago and not surprisingly she’s now comfortably within the ‘healthy’ weight band. The facilities are modern, airy and spacious and they always look and feel spotlessly clean. The activity program is run by a dynamic, fun team and it’s packed with great entertainment. Overall, in my experience Ridley Manor has been quite outstanding and I often reflect on how lucky we were to find it.

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.
