My mother has been a resident at Ridgeway Rise for over a year. As a daughter I am delighted with the care my mother received I have no complaints. All members of staff work very hard to ensure all care needs are met. There is a real family atmosphere throughout the home. My mother is as happy as she can be suffering from dementia. I would recommend Ridgeway Rise to anyone seeking a care home in the area.

Mum went into Ridgeway Rise for 3 weeks respite care. From day 1 the care was absolutely fantastic. Mum has had respite care at another home previously and the level of care at Ridgway Rise was just phenomenal. Mum has already said she would like the return later in the year for another stay. She was looked after and I felt confident they they really cared about giving her the best care and stay possible. I would not hesitate to recommend them. The carers and nursing team were just lovely.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear your mum had such a positive experience at Ridgeway Rise. Regards.

My wife and I came to Ridgeway Rise to visit a precious friend in the palliative care unit. We traveled from the US to see our dear friend for the last time. Every single staff member was exceptionally committed, practicing servant ministry in their duties. Our friend was treated with dignity and compassion and not patronized as is the case in some facilities. My wife and I were treated as if we were family members. Our needs were anticipated and every kindness extended. The facility is spotless and little touches make it very inviting. From the first moment we entered the reception area until the day we left, we were made to feel welcome. Most of all, it was obvious that our friend, who was there less than two weeks, was received and treated with compassion in the last days of her life. I would - without exception- recommend Ridgeway Rise.
Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We are truly honoured to have been able to support both your friend - our dearest colleague, and yourselves during such an important time. Your kind words mean so much to our team, and we are grateful that we could provide comfort and care when it mattered most. Regards.

Since mum moved to Ridgeway Rise Care Home in the summer of 2024, we couldn't have been happier with the care and attention mum has received. The continuity of care has helped her settle quickly, and she has felt completely at home and safe, having been welcomed by all the staff and other residents. Mum has enjoyed all the activities, trips and food. She also enjoys all the walks, and there's always something to do to keep mum occupied. She loves to have a coffee and cake with her friends too.
It's wonderful to hear how happy your mum has been at Ridgeway Rise Care Home!
