It's been a lovely welcome from all the staff. My mum is particularly enjoying the activities, and they have added a yoga session especially for her.
She couldn't be looked after better! Thank you. :)

My husband has settled in nicely and interacts with all staff and speaks fondly of the care and time they give him. He gets all medication on time checking regularly on any pain he may have and acts on it immediately. They check his skin and its better than it has been for a long time. I myself am
more relaxed knowing how well they look after him when I'm not there. Everything is calm all staff speak to us and smile making it look so easy, which shows all the effort that they put in. Well done x

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was the LPA for a gentleman who was in Ribble Court as a CHC resident for over two years due to his deteriorating health condition that resulted him in no longer being able to live in his sheltered accommodation upon hospital discharge in 2023 until his passing in May 2025. The care he received was
not only medically excellent but the care and compassion shown by all staff in making him feel safe settled secure and loved by all during his last years and his resulting quality of life was something that I will be eternally grateful and thankful for. The manager and all her team were not only incredible in how they looked after the gentleman but they were also very helpful to me in dealing with all his affairs and external agencies.
Thank you to all at Ribble Court.

My Mother was taken into Ribble Court Care Home for 4 weeks after an operation that had problems until she was feeling Better and able to Return Home / We were reluctant to agree to this but 24 hr care is what she needed and and we are so Glad we did / All the Staff where amazing from Cleaners / To
day nurses to Senior Management / Nothing was to much trouble and help and support was offered whenever needed / My mother made Friends / her appetite improved to some tune with healthy substantial meals with a great selection offered and encouraged every meal time / Rooms are spacious and well equipped / Our 4 week Period funded by LCC ends this coming Wednesday and we are paying private for another couple of weeks to get her in Tip Top Form to Return Home ( That's if we can persuade her out of the Home ) She has thrived

My experience of Ribble Court has always been positive since my wife came there in spring 2024.
Over the weekend 14/15 June she developed a chest infection following a cold- nothing was too much trouble and staff were very attentive, contacting me and getting the meds she needed as soon as possible.
She is now improving. She settled in well and the family believe she is happy.

First and foremost the home is a secure safe, clean and when you enter at reception the home is clean and smells lovely. The staff are dedicated, providing excellent care. The laundry service is excellent. Chef is very good providing varied meals. My medication which is most important to me is administered
promptly at times prescribed with due diligence.

I can only recommend the care home to everyone. I went there for rehab after a fall and surgery. I could not walk at first but with the help of the physio's I am now walking and home.
Regarding the rest of the staff they are the greatest, kind, professional and would do anything for you. The food
is good and varied, always meat and veggie option.
The activities staff work very hard, trying to find new things for the residents to do.
Sunday is baking day and we had fun, not always successful. My stay was very successful.

We moved Mum to Ribble Court from another care home because we had become concerned that her care needs had changed and were not being met.
Mum settled straight away at Ribble Court. She has now had her medical and care needs reassessed. The care Mum has received has been excellent and tailored to
her changing needs. Staff are always kind and helpful and Mum seems so much happier. This has been a huge relief to us as a family knowing we are getting the best possible care for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nearly been here a year. The staff are fabulous, caring, can't do enough for you (certain ones). They have encouraged me to get out of bed instead of lying in bed all day. The physios are great, they will do exercises, even if you don't feel like it, they will cater or do what you can or try
to do. The activities manager is great, she always gets me helping out and cutting stuff, painting with the residents, also reading, and going on trips out in the sunshine. I could write so much more about the staff, come need medals and are so helpful, they need more acknowledgement about what they do right and the negative things also some of them are very young and treat you like one of their own (grandparent) like a young girl went to the shop for cheese because on the menu it was a jacket potato with cheese, but no cheese was there, so off he own back she went and brought some so all of us could have some finer, which was so kind of her, also she didn't need to do it. She needs the money back also. I have been doing activities with the resident while there has been none in to do it, the staff are very busy, still, I could write more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The level of support given to our family, particularly to my father (who is also a resident at Ribble Court) and myself, after the passing of my mother, has been phenomenal.
They have been so incredibly caring and kind, listened, hugged, been tactful, considerate, just brilliant.
When my mother
had to be taken into hospital, they were efficient and caring. For Dad to be ready to visit her, they made everything easy re keeping his meds sorted for me to give to keep him safe too, and when we got the call to be there with her at the last, the speed and gentleness with which he was helped to dress and get out of the home was something to see.
Every consideration has been given to his feelings as he chose which of their rooms to live in, every help to make it feel right for him, and no rushing or fussing him.
The nursing staff are wonderful human beings, with a great sense of humour, their love for the residents is clear. So very glad we chose this place.

A very good care home which could be greatly improved by a few things:


1) Quality and quantity of food very poor considering the fees ie fish fingers, beans and chips.
2) Food is cold when it reaches my wife because it has to be carried individually to each resident through locked doors etc. A heated

hostess trolley?
3) No proper routine ie buzzer pressed for towels etc.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend was brought into Ribble Court nursing home for end-of-life care.
Her room was large and spacious with an ensuite facility and was spotlessly clean and had no smell.
She had some horrendous sores on her upper body, which needed dressing changes and were extremely painful for her.
The staff
couldn't do enough for her and were so kind and very gentle with her at all times.
She was so upset to leave her little dog behind, so the matron agreed to let us bring her in with us.
The activities manager went above and beyond what was expected of her. She even came in on her days off to bring my friend's little dog in to visit and comfort her. She also arranged for the local church choir to come and sing outside my friend's window, and the staff pushed her bed to the window so that she could see.
Everybody was marvellous, and the home was spotless.
Highly recommend staying here.

Mum was cared for with love and dignity, The care home is full of light and there are several different lounge areas. Working with covid restrictions, staff enabled me and our family members to visit mum as her health failed. The staff kept me informed of various needs and I was so grateful that they
phoned me in time to get to see mum at the end. Mum enjoyed some meals and was pleased to have some fruit instead of puddings. The staff gave mum a wonderful birthday 'party' with other residents and I was so pleased to join in the celebrations. Thanks to everyone at Ribble Court and the lady who worked so hard to get the papers I needed. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.837)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.837) out of 10 for Ribble Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.837 for Ribble Court is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.837
  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 Ribble Court is based on 16 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
