My Mom has been at the Ridings since September 2021, initially for a 3 to 4 week rehab stay from Hospital. We asked the Social Worker involved if we could place my mom in a home North of Bham nearer to Staffs where family lived. We didn’t have a choice of home, so this was a worry. She was placed at the Ridings and now 9 months later, she has had to stay due to her declining health. We feel lucky, to be honest, as she has settled in well after the initial few months and the Staff supporting her and us are out of this world. She is on the Ascot Ward and the Staff are kind Caring thoughtful and Compassionate. They do their job with humour and calmness to make sure the residents are calm and happy. One comment made was they are like Grandparents to her. My mom really likes them and I know they love her. I can’t thank them enough for helping my mom come to terms with the fact it isn’t safe for her to live alone at home, in fact she is so comfortable there she never asks to go home.
