About Ridgegate Home
We at Ridgegate Home offer residential care in the welcoming town of Reigate, Surrey, providing a supportive place to call home for older people and adults with a range of care needs. Nestled within the RH postcode area, our home sits in one of the South East's most cherished corners, where residents can enjoy the familiar comforts of a town known for its community spirit and green surroundings. Our setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel warm, homely, and reassuringly familiar. Reigate itself offers a peaceful backdrop, and our location within Surrey means families visiting from across the region can reach us with ease. Inside, we strive to create an atmosphere that feels less like an institution and more like a genuine home, where daily routines, quiet moments, and shared conversations shape the rhythm of life. The care we provide is broad and thoughtfully tailored. We support older people who need residential care as part of their everyday lives, as well as those living with dementia, where consistency, gentle routines, and understanding faces make a meaningful difference. We also welcome adults with mental health needs, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments including visual or hearing loss, adapting our approach so that each resident feels understood and respected. Younger adults who require ongoing support are equally at home with us, and we offer respite care for families who need short term reassurance that their loved one is being looked after with warmth and skill. In practice, this means care plans shaped around the person rather than the condition, small daily kindnesses, and a team who take the time to learn what matters most to each resident, from favourite meals to treasured memories. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out on 29 September 2025, resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within that report, we were pleased to be rated Good for being Effective and Caring, a recognition of the compassion our team brings to every interaction and the meaningful outcomes we work towards for those in our care. We fully acknowledge the areas identified as needing improvement across Safe, Responsive, and Well led, and we are committed to open, honest progress. For families, this transparency matters: we would rather share where we are on our journey than gloss over it, and we welcome conversations about the steps we are taking to strengthen every aspect of life at Ridgegate Home. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring options in Reigate or the wider Surrey area, we would be delighted to hear from you, answer your questions, and arrange a visit so you can see our home for yourself and meet the people who make it what it is. Please do get in touch whenever you feel ready.
