We take pride in delivering quality work and excellent service. Here’s what our clients have to say about their experience working with us.

The staff at this nursing home are absolutely amazing the way they have looked after my aunt and us .well they hv gone above and beyond. These staff in my opinion do not get enough recognition for the job they do. The pay does not nearly cover for the job they have to do. So from Theresa’s family we sincerely thank you.
Love Tammy and family xx

My brother has now concluded two years of excellent care at The Ridings. He is exceptionally well cared for, and although often not fully alert, I know from him that he likes the home, and especially his carers, whom I too find friendly and helpful. The home was also undergoing a refurbishment on my penultimate visit.

Outstanding care for my father. The staff go above and beyond to ensure his needs are met. He is always neatly turned out and even though he is on a soft food diet due to his degenerative disease they talk him through his meals and encourage him to feed himself. I would recommend this home from home.

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.
