Welcome to Ravensdale!

Ravensdale is a 20-bed care home in Whinmoor, Leeds, that supports adults living with complex health and care needs.

It’s part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country’s leading nursing care providers.

Ravensdale isn’t your typical nursing home. It supports people whose needs are often considered ‘too complex’ for mainstream care settings.

The home has a trained team of Registered Nurses, Health Care Assistants, and Activities Coordinators, working across two nurse-led units.

- Bluebell Unit supports older working-age adults (50+) with a primary neurological diagnosis, such as brain injury, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease, alongside one or more secondary diagnoses or co-morbidities. Bluebell has a strong history of supporting people who’ve experienced one or more failed placements, providing stability, consistency, and person-centred care to meet their changing needs.

- Foxglove Unit supports older adults (60+) with a primary dementia diagnosis, alongside a secondary brain injury, mental health, and/or physical disability diagnosis. The environment on Foxglove is thoughtfully designed in line with the University of Stirling’s dementia-friendly guidelines, creating a home that promotes comfort, independence, and wellbeing.

Each unit features communal dining and living spaces, accessible bathrooms, and personalised bedrooms.

The home also has an activities hub, sensory room, and large accessible garden, encouraging people to take part in social activities.

Care at Ravensdale focuses on supporting people to lead fulfilled lives, with a range of activities, entertainments, and trips out.

My mum has been in Ravensdale Care Home for just over five months now and I am so glad she was placed here. The staff are so caring and always there to help with her every need. My mum is 95 and has dementia and all I wished for her was a place where she was comfortable and cared for as I couldn't do
it all myself. She has this and so much more.

A close friend of our family was moved over to Ravensdale Care Home from another home. His care needs couldn't be met by the other provider.
Since moving over, we have seen such a change in his mental health.
The facilities, care and management are outstanding.

Review from Voni W (Niece of Resident) published on 12 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunty was admitted due to complex care after many other homes couldn't manage her. It started with the visit, the lovely manager was knowledgable and so approachable and she and her team were available at the weekend. It was a very positive visit and I knew this was the right environment. The home
is warm and welcoming. The team and other staff always appear happy and you can always hear laughter everywhere in the home. My aunty settled immediately and I have never seen her as well and content. The home is clean with no smells and the food is lovely and appears homemade. I was astonished when I visited to always see the same people and I have not seen any agency which is reassuring. I would recommend this home to anyone as my aunty is so happy and content as well as feels like part of the family. She knows everyone by name which is lovely and I feel confident when I leave that she is well cared for.

My dad came to Ravendale in June 2023. He moved from another home due to his needs becoming more complex. We were nervous about the move but now he is here, it's the best decision we have made for him. He always looks happy, clean and content. The team are wonderful, so happy and jolly, they clearly
love their jobs. They are always so welcoming. We feel so content with Dad being here.

My dad has been a resident at Ravensdale for four months now and whilst we have lots to worry about with is health we are confident in the care he is receiving. The staff from day one have been supportive to not only my dad but to all of our family. They really do go the extra mile and it is very much
appreciated.

I like how the carers interact with my grandad. In particular, I like how much patience they have with him. I like the fact you can decorate your room as you wish and request food that you like. I also think he has plenty of opportunities to go out and join in activities if he wishes.
Reply from Sarah, Manager at Ravensdale

Hi James, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Our team will be thrilled to see this. We're really glad to hear that your grandad has lots of opportunities to go out and do activities if he wishes - this is such an important part of promoting good physical and emotional well-being and something we really focus on.

The care team work hard to make sure my wife is cared for every day. The nursing team have put time and effort into understanding my wife's medical needs, as well as her care requirements. I have been delighted to see my wife settle and be happy to be a resident at Ravensdale. At the initial stage,
managers said my wife should feel at home on-site, which has been delivered.

Review from Janet G (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad wanted to end his days at home but sadly this was not possible. Consequently, my dad was not a willing resident. We really did not want Dad going into any care home either.
I had quite a few conversations with the manager who understood the family’s concerns. She also understood the impact
it had on the family having to put our dad in a home against everyone’s wishes. I had many sleepless nights over this.
I can honestly say our fears were all unfounded. My dad was treated with great respect, care, compassion and dignity. Anything we asked for Dad was provided. He was kept clean and his dietary needs catered for. I didn’t lose any sleep over how Dad was treated or cared for. Staff were very helpful, respectful and polite and I have no doubt this was always the case when family were not around.
The manager's door was always open if I needed to talk. She is very knowledgeable, understanding, lightens the mood, but also compassionate.
Reply from Jenna Wood, Exemplar Health Care at Ravensdale

Hi Janet, thank you for your review. We can't imagine how difficult it must have been for your dad and family. We're really glad to hear that your fears were unfounded.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Ravensdale 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 4.861 for Ravensdale is calculated as follows: ( (305 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 353 Ratings = 4.861
  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 Ravensdale 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 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.
