I've been here for about nine weeks after a spell in hospital. I was very poorly when I arrived (heart failure, diabetes and recent stroke). I am now very much stronger, starting to walk again and feeling very well. I have decided to become a permanent resident. Selling my home. The excellent facilities and high standard and friendly care and attention. I feel very lucky to be living here.

I was very impressed with Ridley Manor from the very beginning of my inquiry for respite care for my mum. The attention, response time and customer service was spot on. I was made to feel that they cared and did everything to meet my expectations of a well run business. I'm so glad I found Ridley Manor for my mum. I didn't worry about my mum at all during her stay because I knew she was being well cared for and that was so important to me.
The care staff have been so caring I am very sorry to leave here. I will always hold them in my heart.

My mother spent the last 6 weeks of her life in this care home and I couldn't have asked for a better environment. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who are kind, caring and patient. Mum was well cared for, entertained and supported with dignity. We are so sad that she could not have enjoyed this wonderful home for many more months or even years. Thank you to all the amazing staff who looked after Mum for this short period of time and ensured that she was safe, comfortable and happy in the last few weeks of her life.

I felt it important to write a short review which should be shared with the staff at Gracewell. Mum and mother sadly passed away on Sunday 27th February. She was looked after impeccably by a number of staff over the last three to four years, in particular, the carer who she was very fond of and I believe the feeling was very mutual. I cannot fault the home in any way the care, food, entertainment and cleanliness was always brilliant even through some very difficult times.
You have all been amazing and the family really would like to say a big thank-you for everything.
Gracewell of High Wycombe, looked after my father and I can not recommend them enough. The care and nursing team on the ground floor were truly exceptional. The love and professional care he received was amazing.

I am nearly 94 and was diagnosed with Bipolar too when I was 78. I had not seen a Doctor for 35 years!

I am nearly 94 and was diagnosed with Bipolar too when I was 78. I had not seen a Doctor for 35 years! Since then I have received constant medical care, for heart failure and severe arthritis of the left arm. When I am 'down' I stay in bed and do not wish to do anything for 10 weeks and love 1 hour a day. Then I have 7 weeks 'high' and again three hours a day. Everyone at Gracewell is extremely kind - nothing is too much trouble.
Our care teams are central to everything we do in our home, your recognition of their passionate and skilled work is fantastic to hear. Thank you for your kind words, these will be shared with the rest of the team here at Gracewell of High Wycombe.
I am pleased to write this recommendation for Gracewell of High Wycombe. I find at all times the staff hard working, honest, conscientious, dependable, and peace-loving. Very helpful and this satisfies me to know my Mother is in good hands.

It is heartbreaking to see the mental deterioration of my father-in-law - a former Doctor (hospital consultant) with no previous history of dementia. I believe this is at least partly due to the social isolation/associated lack of stimulation endured; one, one-hour visit, 3 weeks in 4. i.e. 3...
It is heartbreaking to see the mental deterioration of my father-in-law - a former Doctor (hospital consultant) with no previous history of dementia. I believe this is at least partly due to the social isolation/associated lack of stimulation endured; one, one-hour visit, 3 weeks in 4. i.e. 3 visits per month, with one family member only. The Govt. should indemnify care homes (as per NHS) so proper, frequent visits can resume. Today was his 90th birthday, so sad.

Thank you very much for your feedback I would like to assure you that Peter was very much loved by all of us and will be greatly missed here at Gracewell of High Wycombe.

The care of the staff is extremely good. Dad has settled well after 8 months and is enjoying the company of other people again. He enjoys the food which is well presented, very tasty and just the right portion size to tempt. Rooms are comfortable and well-appointed.

Our dining team will be thrilled with your lovely comments. Here at Gracewell of High Wycombe, we cater to each resident based on preferences and dietary requirements. Hearing this positive feedback is greatly appreciated by everyone in the community.
Socialising is promoted but in a non-condescending way. Carers know their residents well and we have always found their judgements to be reassuring and utterly sensitive.

My father appears well and well cared for. I would like to have more information regarding his care plan and needs and occasional meetings with him and his carers would be helpful so I feel involved. Under current restrictions, the home and its staff are doing a heroic task and I feel confident in their ability and judgement to care for Dad in the best possible way. We could not have chosen better.

I visited my dad who has relatively advanced Parkinson's disease. I was very impressed by the friendliness, flexibility and compassion of the team during my visit. Having not seen my dad since he entered the home I feel happy he is being well cared for. Thank you.

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.

As Home Manager, the most important part of my role is to make sure residents feel safe.
A big part of what I do is supporting my team. In particular, helping them navigate the healthcare sector, which is always growing and developing. With that in mind, you also need to be well organised and approachable. It helps that I can draw on my 15 years of experience and level five qualification in leadership.
When I first joined Care UK, I did so because its ethos reflected my own values and beliefs. A career highlight for me is the fact I have been able to work my way up through dedication and learning. Now, I feel proud to be part of a strong team that I have also helped grow. For us, it is about celebrating each other’s achievements and seeing how we can do even better.
Every day is different, but my favourite part is being able to spend time with residents and their families. I love finding out about their lives, getting to know them and listening to their wealth of knowledge.
Outside of work, we are an adventurous family and enjoy road trips and holidays. Having a very sporty son also means we spend a lot of time out and about supporting his activities.
