My first impressions of the home were average. However, the first visit was when there were Covid restrictions, and I realised things were difficult, but the staff were very friendly and helpful. After subsequent visits, I have found my impression to have changed. After seeing how the staff approach
the residents and interact with them, I am very satisfied with the care given to my friend and how they show their concern for her welfare. In other words, I am really happy with the standard of care given.

My father-in-law has resided at Riversdale for more than three years now. He has always received excellent care from consistently good staff. They have always been friendly and welcoming to me when I have visited, finding them reassuring and knowledgeable about his care. The home is under what seems
a constant state of improvement with regard to the fabric of the building and the furniture provided. He has always enjoyed the food too.

My experience of Riverdale Nursing Home is that they are very hard working - putting their residents first. It's good teamwork, and my father is very happy to be there. At present, they are preparing for the Jubilee, and I think it's nice that they - the staff - are making that extra effort.

Reply from lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Riversdale

Thank you for your review. It is lovely to hear how happy your dad is. Celebrating events like the Jubilee is wonderful for our residents; we look forward to seeing all the photos of the event.

I'd been supporting my client at home for four years prior to him moving to Riversdale here on Wirral. I now visit him once a week to chat, do crosswords, read the newspaper and go out for a walk whenever the weather permits. During the pandemic, visits were either non-existent or few and far between,
which I fully understand. The service from every member of the staff team during this time was amazing. They kept me up to speed with my clients day to day conditions. I feel that the entire staff team are just brilliant in every way. caring (as you'd expect) but I feel they really do offer an excellent service to the residents, their families and friends plus other visitors. Riversdale is a very calming place to be, full of humour, good-natured banter and a reassuring place for all residents and clients. It's brilliant!

I have nothing but praise for all the staff from the cleaners to the management and how they look after a very close friend of mine, he has dementia. They have been brilliant to my friend given the problems due to Covid restrictions and have always given me a warm welcome when I take him out.

Reply from Nathaly Cifuentes Riano, Social Media Marketing Executive at Riversdale

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Riversdale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.734 for Riversdale is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.734

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riversdale is based on 13 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
