Mum had short stays at two other care homes where she had five unwitnessed falls and was hospitalised for four. The final fall caused us to look for another home and we found Ribble Court. The manager contacted the hospital to ensure mum wasn’t discharged until she could be accepted into the home...
It is a lovely clean and well-equipped home run by staff that are marvellous. Mum had deteriorated significantly over the prior three months of hospital and care homestays and had lost 10Kg in weight. After just two weeks in Ribble Court she gained nearly 2Kg through eating delicious meals prepared on site and by appropriate continence management. The staff are proactive in providing care and keep me informed of any issues with mum’s health. Despite being unsteady on her feet, she has had no falls in over four months and is thriving. It was heart-warming when she told me that the people are so nice and that now she wants to stay there.
My father has been at Ribble Court for five months now and from my first initial visit I have nothing but praise for the staff, the care is excellent, the building is brand new and the facilities are 5 star.

My father has been at Ribble Court for five months now and from my first initial visit I have nothing but praise for the staff, the care is excellent, the building is brand new and the facilities are 5 star. My father settled as soon as he moved in and this is due to the lovely welcoming attitude the staff have towards him, they treat him as an individual and are attentive to his needs and requests. They are also very good at liaising with me regarding all issues of his health and there is always someone available to speak to when I go to visit. My first instinct when I went to look round with a view to my father becoming a resident at Ribble Court was ‘ this is the place I want for him to be cared for and be happy ‘ and it is certainly ticking all the boxes.
