We had a very warm welcome from the team at Ridgeway Rise and they asked a lot of questions regarding my Dad's care. The place looked extremely clean and COVID friendly. Although we couldn't visit Dad we called up and was reassured about Dad's wellbeing. Also saw numerous photos of him on their website enjoying the activities. Best care home in Swindon.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It is a real pleasure to have your dad with us.
Since my mother arrived at Ridgeway in March, her care has been exemplary. I'm so glad I found somewhere so friendly, welcoming and most importantly safe to care for my mum.

Having booked my place on a computer from a hospital bed, Ridgeway Rise management being extremely helpful, I have "congratulated myself" on the excellent choice I made. The home is purpose-built with plenty of space, wide corridors, good size rooms and plenty of open spaces and facilities, including the gardens. The staff is lovely, caring people, doing their job well, with plenty of in-built natural compassion and warmth. I feel safe with the medical help available. The food is good and can suit individual needs. I thoroughly recommend this as the place to be.
Regards.

Beautiful meals, but not really appropriate for the elderly and the glasses and mugs are far too big and heavy for them to use. It might be nice to be in a hotel environment if you are well and able, but at the end of life, you want companionship and friendship, not fine dining.

Ridgeway Rise is an amazing place. It is only a few years old and purposely built to keep residents safe and well cared for. Family are always welcome and welcomed. Regular in-depth reviews keep the family well informed with the amazing care relatives receive. Any concerns are dealt with efficiently and with great care. This is the second home my aunt has been in and she settled so quickly due to the level of considerate care she receives. The staff are professional but also very caring at the same time. It is very reassuring that there is nursing care available at all times. It is like staying in a 5* Hotel always sparkling clean and the food is of a similar standard. Very appealing and a choice at every meal.
Happy New Year Glynis. Thank you very much for your feedback. We much appreciate your honesty. Bella.
The building seems very well maintained the rooms are spotless. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Mum enjoyed her time here.
