All bedrooms have ensuite facilities, and for those requiring a larger living space, premier rooms with their own garden and front door are also available.
A range of tasty home-cooked meals are freshly prepared by the homes own chef who takes into account individual nutritional requirements. Residents may dine in the pleasant dining room or in the privacy of their own room if preferred.

Mam has been in Ridley Park for over a year now. She is well settled and doing great. The home itself is well presented, clean and comfortable. The staff are excellent. We have found every single person to be kind, caring, compassionate and respectful. The food is fabulous. The activities and events are spot on.

Dad was able to go to the bar and order a pint and a round of drinks for the family.
The catering staff did an amazing job preparing the canapés which were beautiful to look at and very tasty. So much time and care was taken in the presentation.
We all enjoyed the quiz but the singalong made the night. Everyone was singing along and there was so much laughter.
It was also lovely to have a little dance with dad.
Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you

Our nana moved in recently and has settled in well thanks to the homely feel and welcoming staff. The rooms are a great size and have a nice view from the window. The food seems good and it is great that residents are encrouaged to eat together but also have the option of eating in their room if it suits them better. The building is well secured but it is nice and easy for family to visit.
Thank you for your lovely review. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

I frequently visit this home to see two relatives, I find it most welcoming and the staff are approachable. I would find no hesitation recommending to others. My relative recently had a minor issue it was brought to the attention of the staff, which was resolved in less than 24 hours. With so many residents I believe this to be quite prompt and impressive. I'm grateful for the efforts of the staff.

Ridley Park has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There are several lounge areas where residents and visitors can sit together, which made visits much more enjoyable for our family. On nice days we were able to take my brother outside in his wheelchair and sit with him in the front garden to enjoy some fresh air.
There are regular activities during the week which help keep residents engaged and entertained. The home also arranges occasional entertainment, such as singers and visits from small animals, which always seem to bring a lot of smiles.
The staff are kind, supportive and genuinely caring. They took the time to talk with my brother and showed a real interest in him as a person. Our family visited often and were always made to feel welcome.
We are grateful for the care my brother received and would happily recommend Ridley Park to others.

If I could give 0 stars. I would have. Today, sadly my uncle passed away at 1am. My sister who was next of kin was contacted repeatedly by staff. Not once when they phoned they offered any condolences. The first thing they said was "is he getting buried or cremated" my sister was in shock as they never told her my uncle had passed. Then they called again and laughed and said "well we can't just leave a body in the care home it needs to be refrigerated" myself and my sister when to a funeral directors before going to the home. I asked who spoke to my sister it was a nurse who was present. I asked her where her compassion was and she extremely snotty and again did not apologize. As we were leaving the financial admin asked my sister to sign a contract. I said no as our uncle had only just passed and today was the not the day. She turned around and said " you have an attitude problem" known fine well I had just lost my uncle. The worst compassion and empathy home I've known.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. At Bupa Care Homes we take all concerns raised extremely seriously and we will fully investigate the issues you have raised. A member of our team will be in touch.
A very positive experience for me and my visits. My friend has been at Ridley Park for 10 months. Her health has improved with the attention that she has had from medics. She is very content in herself and enjoys the activities. All staff are so helpful and pleasant when I visit.
