The Ridings is a purpose built home, circa 1996. It is owned and maintained by Anchor Trust, England’s largest not-for-profit provider of support, care and housing for older people. Set in a quiet location and in its own beautiful grounds, The Ridings is close to the local shops, health centre and pubs. Most rooms have lovely views of the well-kept gardens.
We provide residential care for 41 older people with varying physical and mental needs and for those who want to maintain their independence, but now find that they need some extra help. Staff are on hand 24-hours a day to provide care and support.
