We as a family are so very very pleased as to how well and how quickly mom has settled into River Meadows. The staff appear attentive to all the patients and their needs. It almost appears the patients are their own family and look after them as such.

My review of the home is good. The main facilities which I receive, e.g. food and laundry, are very good. As a care home, the general atmosphere is calm and friendly.

My dad has been at River Meadows for over a year. We have been really happy with the high standard of care and the kindness of staff. This has made the separation from Dad easier for the family knowing that he is in very safe hands. It is great that there is complete flexibility on when we can visit
and when we do we are warmly welcomed and can easily approach staff with any questions.

The staff at River Meadows are excellent and very kind and understanding to all the residents. When I leave after visiting my mum, I know she’s in great hands. All staff members go above and beyond in what can be a very challenging job, Mum is always smiling. Can’t ever thank the staff enough for what
they do.

It's really difficult to put into words how wonderful the team at River Meadows are. I just want to say a huge thank you to you all for giving wonderful care to my Mum and for also introducing lots of humour, kindness, patience and encouragement to her. Even though she is of a grand age you have given
her so much love and encouragement and, after many weeks of therapy, she is now 'on her feet' and is also extremely happy in her new surroundings. Thank you!

My 90-year old Mum has been at River Meadows for a few weeks. The level of care she has been receiving is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They are all so lovely with Mum and she says herself how wonderful everyone is. Mum struggled to eat at home and wasn’t drinking enough, now she
doesn’t stop eating. Her liquid intake is so much better and she’s walking more. She’s joining in with activities too, something she wouldn’t do at home. The care home is spotless. Mum has a lovely patio room and has her own pictures to make her room more homely. Knowing Mum is being looked after day and night is such a relief. I cannot praise the home enough.

I have found the home to be very good, considering the pandemic. Although I have seen him getting worse and his mental health has been affected due to the lack of visits. I find the management to be excellent and all the staff. Overall, I am very satisfied.

All staff are very helpful despite being under pressure. Mum's needs seem to be fulfilled. Any concerns have been related to me by one particular lady. The major drawback is Mum's room, which has a high window where she cannot see out of. It is wholly unsuitable despite making enquiries about other
rooms. I would wish to see her moved to another room.

My nan has received exceptional care from the moment she arrived. The communication between ourselves and the staff have been brilliant, and nothing has been too much for them. Each week we have noticed an improvement in my nan's health, and we can't thank the team for their hard work.

In difficult times, it is always a good experience visiting River Meadows. My dad is well cared for even though I have not yet seen the home - only his room. I welcome the opportunity to do there and then I will see the complete range of services. So far though, all staff are friendly, knowledgeable
and supportive.

My mother and I spent a lot of time at River Meadow visiting her friend in the last week of her life. I cannot express how attentive and kind the staff were. They kept checking on us and kept us fed and watered!
I have never been into this environment before and was so impressed by the care and consideration
given to their customers and visitors. They kept me updated by telephone as we were the closest to the lady and also on services available so we were able to sit with her receiving her last rights which was very moving. RIP to a lovely lady and thank you so so much to the manager and all the staff at River Meadow.
I must not hesitate to recommend this home.

I am very happy with all the care and attention my husband is receiving. The staff are always cheerful and caring with a lovely sense of humour. Today I went with my husband on a minibus ride around the countryside which we both thoroughly enjoyed. The patience and understanding of the driver and staff
were outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff can be approached at any time. I am very pleased with everything.

My sister moved into this home on 1st August 2017 and I was very impressed with the home and all their staff. It took a while for my sister to settle in but she says she's happy and that makes me feel happy too. Everything about this home was what we wanted and I can relax knowing my sister is being
well cared for. Hygiene is good, food is excellent.
My husband and I are elderly and do have to travel 26miles, round trip, which could be difficult in the winter months to visit my sister but she has been placed in a lovely room.

My mother recently passed away after eighteen months of wonderful care from all the members of staff and management. Their love, care and kindness are second to none. At her passing, the staff showed compassion to both my mum and our family, their kindness embraced us all and their love shone up and
above their line of duty, not only at the time but beyond. I would recommend the home to anyone to make that heart pulling decision for someone else to look after their loved ones.

My husband has early onset Alzheimer's.
He is only 63 years old.
River Meadows in Kineton has been his home for a couple of months but unfortunately, he now has to move to a nursing home for his needs to be met.
I cannot praise highly enough the manager and all her staff for making my husband so
comfortable and looking after him so well.
I am always made welcome when I visit.
There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere at River Meadows and all the residents are so well looked after.
I would recommend River Meadows to anyone.
Well done to the manager and all her lovely staff.

Since the new manager has arrived at River Meadows, what a change it has made to the place. It's a pleasure to go there which I do every day. The staff are wonderful and I couldn't fault anyone. My mum is always happy, clean and well looked after; hairdressers once a week, chiropodist etc - every need
is catered for. If I have a problem or ask for something it is dealt with straight away.
I just can't thank them enough. I have recommended it to family and my aunt came to live here just before Christmas. Well done everyone and a special big thank you to the new manager! You're a star!

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.527)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.527) out of 10 for River Meadows is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.417 for River Meadows is calculated as follows: ( (27 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.417

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.11 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for River Meadows is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.2 = 0.61

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
