My father has been a resident for close to a year now and they have gone out of their way to accommodate my dad and his emotional needs. They have kept me informed on all matters, been respectful of my needs and concerns and always have been approachable. My dad has been in a couple of care homes since
his needs have developed and can safely say that I feel more comfortable with Five Rivers in comparison to previous care my dad has been a resident.

I have lived at Five Rivers for 6 months now and I have had a very positive experience living here. All the staff and management work very hard to keep all the residents clean and happy. Always willing to help whenever needed. The home is very clean and each room is cleared every day. The activities
staff are amazing, having activities morning and afternoon to keep us entertained. We have had fetes, ladies' afternoon tea and gentlemen's afternoon. More entertainment is planned for future BBQs with the family members to attend too.

My Dad has been at Five Rivers since December 2023 (approx 5 months). He now seems very settled and comfortable, after being repeatedly moved from various hospitals. All Management, senior staff, as well as, caring staff have been very helpful and responded well to any questions we may ask. Visiting
Dad has not been a problem. Dad's room is nice although I'm pleased he is normally in the lounge with other residents and is enjoying the recreational activities provided by the 'Activities' person.
My Dad can be very active, and although his mobility is now very limited, and he needs a wheelchair, it is good that he can still play Dominoes (his favourite game) with me, and the rest of the family and staff. He also enjoyed a good old sing-song, with us playing the Ukulele, on our last visit. Dad still has a good sense of humour, and misses his Caribbean food but I can't wait until the sun shines so that we can take him outside to sit in the Five Rivers' garden. Big thanks to all the staff.

It's heartwarming to hear that despite mobility challenges, your dad is still able to enjoy his favorite activities like playing Dominoes and having sing-alongs with family and staff. We're looking forward to the sunny days ahead so we can all enjoy the garden together. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we'll continue to strive to provide the best care possible for your dad. Thank you again for your feedback and trust in Five Rivers.

Unfortunately, my Mother was taken into care around 6 months ago, very much against her will. We chose 5R for her because it seemed very clean and modern and the staff was helpful. Since that time, I would say the staff have gone out of their way to manage a difficult situation and make this work for
my Mother. I hugely appreciate the efforts of the individual staff who provide my Mother's care needs - unfortunately owing to her condition she is not always grateful, and I know this requires an effort to rise above. My Mother has always been very independent but sociable - I visit her twice weekly, and gradually she has settled in. I know she appreciates the physical environment and enjoys her room and ensuite shower/WC. Whenever I meet the management they always seem very professional, and I believe they are sincerely striving to make 5R the best it can be. On behalf of my family, I'd like to thank them for their support at what has been a very difficult time.

Reply from Five Rivers Management Team, Managers at Five Rivers Living

We're dedicated to providing the best possible environment for your mother and all our residents, and we're glad to hear that she's gradually settling in and enjoying her surroundings. Your family's gratitude means a lot to us, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Issues raised are always addressed. The staff staff are very pleasant but with a bit more training for new and refresh with old staff would benefit the home greatly. A good home.

I feel the warm atmosphere when I visit, I feel my dad is safe and looked after well, staff are approachable and friendly and address me by name. I feel comfortable and it gives me peace of mind. Management always have time to talk with me, either in person or by telephone, which in other places you
don't get.

My overall experience of Five Rivers Living has been of both friendliness and approachability from the management and staff.
We visit daily to see my aged grandma and the home is always clean and tidy. Her room is well-appointed, spacious with an ensuite wetroom. Gran has formed good relationships
with several members of the care team, who are both supportive and kind.

The current manager has been so kind during the two weeks my dad spent in respite care at the care home. The carers were helpful and were chatty with Dad. The facility and grounds are always well-maintained. Previously the former management team was poor, but since the current manager has arrived I
have seen big changes for the better and the care home is making huge improvements under her guidance.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Five Rivers Living is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 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 4.831 for Five Rivers Living is calculated as follows: ( (507 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 605 Ratings = 4.831

  • 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 Five Rivers Living is based on 52 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 52 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.
