Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My dad was admitted to Riverside Court in early February , he made his own enquiries about staying and after chatting with the manager he was so looking forward to staying.
From day 1 the staff were phenomenal. The professionalism, the knowledge and experience of the nurses, carers, support staff
coupled with their unbelievable kindness is something I have never experienced in any establishment before. We talk about the NHS being heroes during Covid but all these people at Riverside Court are just as much heroes as the NHS workers were. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and this really made my dads short stay as comfortable as possible during his illness.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending this nursing home to anyone in the future . I am so pleased my dads last few weeks were spent here, I couldn't have wished for any better place.
Thank you so much , it means a lot . Keep up the phenomenal work , you are all amazing.

Reply from Claire Cole, Marketing Assistant at Riverside Court Care Home

When our mother took a turn for the worse the staff at Riverside Court went over and above in the way they cared for out mam and also the kindness and hospitality shown to the family.

Since moving into Riverside, my sister-in-law is the happiest we have seen her in years even at home with carers she wasn't this happy. She loves the carers, the games, quizzes, karaoke, and the crack she has with all the staff and other residents. It's made her life much better.

All staff are very caring, polite and helpful. Not only to the residents but also to all visitors. Nothing is too much trouble. Upon admission, everything was explained in detail and any questions were answered. In my view, Riverside was/is the perfect choice and is an excellent care home.

My dad came to Riverside in February from being in hospital. He took some settling but now he is eating and drinking with thanks to the lovely staff and starting to gain weight. All the staff are lovely, friendly and nothing is any trouble; we are very pleased with my dad/granda's care.

When my sister moved into the home both me and my sister were unsure, but not anymore, from management to staff and admin staff and activity coordinator are all excellent at what they do. My sister is so happy. She has gained weight for the first time in years and is always smiling. We thank you all
for that. I would recommend Riverside Court Care Home very highly to everyone.

My stay has been ok, it has been everything I'd hoped for. The staff are friendly and do go out of their way for me. I did enjoy going to the arts and crafts and I also went out to do a little shopping before I went home and also had lunch. The girls also left me some knitting and books for my room.
I will return in the near future for another holiday, thank you.

I have been dreading going into a care home, even for respite. I have had a wonderful surprise, I am not having my independence taken away, there is always help if I want or need it. The staff are all lovely, fun, kind and compassionate. I feel like I am going on a very enjoyable holiday.

This care home has capable and friendly staff who do a great job in looking after the residents! I do notice that on some occasions there is not enough staff (maybe due to illness), but all staff are courteous friendly and willing to help residents in any way they can! I enjoy coming to visit.

My experience of Riverside Court Care Home, since my mum became a resident eight months ago, is nothing other than positive. The staff are incredible and afford everyone excellent care, whilst showing patience and understanding. The atmosphere is always friendly and jovial and nothing is too much trouble.
Everyone works really hard to make Riverside a happy place to be. The catering is excellent, Mum loves her food and has as many cups of tea as she wants. She is kept stimulated with the amazing activity ladies and I'm really happy to have moved Mum here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.884)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.884) out of 10 for Riverside Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.884 for Riverside Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.884

  • 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 Riverside Court Care Home is based on 19 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 19 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.
