Visited my mum at Gracewell today and it is reassuring and great to know that she is so well looked after at this facility. The staff are always welcoming and caring towards my mother. It brings our family such reassurance to know she is in this professionally run care home. The facilities are new and
clean and promote a particularly lovely place to go and visit her.

Gracewell has always looked after my mother extremely well since she came to the home in January 2018. The Covid-19 regulations in place are very stringent and effective. I couldn't be more happy with the way my mother is being treated and looked after.

Gracewell in Lane End has been very caring and considerate with my dad, who came in to live there in the middle of the COVID crisis. They have excellent safety protocols and we are relieved that my dad is really cared for so well.

This is why we take the time to engage with family members and friends of the resident to make the process as smooth as possible, to get to know the resident on a personal level.

My experience of visiting my mother at Gracewell during these difficult times has been very good. The staff are very efficient and take all the social distancing plus PPE very seriously. But despite this, the visit has been very enjoyable and worthwhile. In terms of would I recommend this care provider
the answer is yes, as the standards are very high but of course it does come at a cost that not all can afford.

My mum has lived at Gracewell High Wycombe for the last three years with dementia. They care with such dignity and has been exemplary and continues to be so. All staff go above and beyond to show kindness, consideration and empathy with our loved ones during which can be an extremely difficult period
for a family. It's spotlessly clean, very friendly and a safe environment or a family member and I have no hesitation in recommending.

Gracewell provides both residents and their families and friends with that feeling of belonging. There, they are treated with great care as individuals who have, for various reasons, made the move from their own homes in need of extra care. The staff are welcoming and there is a great atmosphere of
warmth and desire to respond to individual needs.

I visited this home recently as a volunteer and was extremely impressed with the presentation of the home, the welcome I received and the care and support being offered to residents there. It was an eye opening experience. Staff were very kind and friendly. Activities and food were amazing and the manager
was very kind and knowledgeable. I could not stop myself from writing this review as everyone looking for a care home must visit this home to see for themselves. It is an outstanding care home and is well managed.

Mum is very well cared for at Gracewell and communication from them is very good.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
These comments follow a visit to Mum under the Covid-19 arrangements but also reflect my overall impression and experience of the care she receives.
I was very impressed with the precautions taken by the home and the arrangements put in place to ensure residents could safely receive visits from family
and friends.
The policy Gracewell have introduced works very well and ensures safety for both residents, staff and visitors.
On a more general note, Mum has now been living at Gracewell for two years. Throughout that time she has been very well looked after. Most importantly she is happier, less lonely and physically very well.
The home have always kept me informed of any developments and made me welcome when visiting.
Since Mum’s move to Gracewell, I feel reassured that she is now being well cared for and I have no worries about her on a day to day basis.
Reply from Rozina Ali, General Manager at Ridley ManorAt Gracewell of High Wycombe, our ultimate goal is to provide the best possible level of care we can. From our carers, nurses and activities team, we strive to achieve a sociable and comfortable community our residents can call home. We are so happy to see the improvements made by your mother.

My parents moved to Gracewell at Lane End nearly a year ago, and could not be happier with their choice of care home.

Review from Jan A (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All aspects of my mother’s life had been severely affected by dementia, and it was a distressing and difficult time for both my mother and the family when the decision was made that she needed to go into residential care.
Fifteen months on life is still difficult and distressing for my mother at times,
but she has a much better quality of life now than she did when she was living at home. She is eating better, healthier, no longer having frequent falls, has opportunities for social interaction with residents and staff and sometimes participates in singing, seated exercise and ball game sessions. She has access to services such as hairdressing and chiropodist.
Due to Covid-19, visitors are not allowed at present but staff have arranged weekly video calls and family can phone any time if they have concerns. Mum misses family visits but tells us how well the staff at looking after her.
In normal times, visitors including children and even the family dog are made most welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

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.
