The Ridings care home, Off Daventry Road

Mum arrived at the Ridings with advanced Alzheimer's and vascular dementia in 2021. It has been a roller-coaster ride for us which we feel the staff have tried as best as possible to support us with. There has been a big changeover of management and staff since mum arrived but this has not been to the detriment of mum's care. Mum is an extremely… Read more determined lady who does not make it easy for staff to always do their best! However, she settled in and now says she feels safe and happy there, which is our primary concern. She particularly enjoys the animal visits - pet therapy and the zoo visitors. Thank you to everyone for all your support.

After serious health complications, I needed to find a care home for my mum. It was an overwhelming time and a huge responsibility but as soon as I viewed The Ridings I knew it was the right place for her. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and supportive of both my mum and her family. We were able to make her flat a 'home from home' for her wi… Read moreth her own furniture and belongings. The Ridings is very clean, well-maintained and cheerful. There are activities daily which my mum enjoys joining in to keep her physically and mentally active. The food is extremely good. As a family, we are always made to feel very welcome and are informed of any issues immediately. We know that she is being cared for exceptionally well and treated with the dignity that she deserves.

Efficient and caring staff in a modern environment. Food is plentiful and of a high standard. Plentiful activities with dedicated staff members. Could not expect better for the welfare of my mother.

My mother went to the Ridings for three weeks respite care. Whilst there she was looked after exceedingly well by friendly helpful staff. With activities to do every day and a lovely big, well-appointed room she couldn't have done better in a 5-star hotel.

I have volunteered at The Rigings every week for the last seven years. We visit the residents via pets as therapy. We are always made to feel very welcome. The staff are very kind and thoughtful. There is always a very happy environment and the residents seem very relaxed and happy. The Ridings is a very happy home that we are pleased to visit ever… Read morey week.

Absolute living nightmare. After bringing up genuine safety/care concerns regarding my mother and a few personal issues within the care home that prevented my mother and I from going out for our planned lunch. Sadly none of our concerns or issues were addressed in a polite, professional compassionate or respectful manner. Instead, the care home man… Read moreager stopped me coming in to visit my mother for a total of 30 days. I could only take mother out in her wheelchair. This stole 30 days of our lives. I am my mother's daughter and her main carer for nine years. I don't know how this care home manager can sleep at night after making such a cruel decision.

The team at The Ridings responded very quickly to a need for my father to find a care home when his health suddenly deteriorated. The staff have been excellent in supporting him to settle in quickly and responding as he has required increased help with personal care. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Ridings to anyone in need of the su… Read morepport a care home provides to an elderly person.
