The staff and facilities are in a different league to any other home we considered. Flexibility regarding visiting is another plus. Security, safety and peace of mind should be utmost in everyone's consideration, and St Marys surpasses and excels in this particular area.

Myself and my daughters were invited to spend Christmas day with my mum, which was so kind in itself, and we had the best day. The staff were all very happy and welcoming, and the tables were set out beautifully with lovely decorations and beautiful wine glasses. We were offered a lovely range of beverages
on arrival and throughout our stay, and nothing was too much trouble.
The Christmas dinner was outstanding. A special mention to the chef and other staff members, who all went above and beyond to ensure our day spent with my mum was extra special.
I was especially touched when my mum was brought outside to watch her grandchildren play on their new roller skates; they did this with so much thought, and nothing was too much trouble. These little things really do mean alot and help us all; they keep making special memories.
The home is nothing less than outstanding.

The entire home is immaculate, and the staff are friendly, especially the home manager. The chef is so friendly and accommodates all tastes, a special nod to the caterer. I would and will recommend this home and the team to any family member or friend.

This home is a truly fabulous place to live, and the staff are beyond anything we could have wished for. We looked at a lot of care homes, some within the same company, but what sold this home to us was, without a doubt, the lovely staff at Riverside. It's clear they're very knowledgeable and experienced
at what they do, thus making it so much easier for us to leave our relatives in good, safe hands.
Thank you all for your kindness; you have become a big part of our life.

Visited my friend today 21st of November 2022. An absolutely lovely afternoon. Care home is absolutely beautiful, clean, fresh and fantastic. The staff are all very polite and helpful, but one stood out from the rest. What a lovely lady, so polite, friendly and helpful. Thank you to everyone and especially
cheers from me.

An excellent care home. Mum has improved immensely in the time she has been in residence. The staff are all very understanding and extremely caring. The care home has excellent facilities, and the resident's rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished. I can highly recommend it!

From my first visit, I have been incredibly impressed with St Marys. The facilities are superb and immaculately kept. Rooms are perfectly appointed, all with splendid views. My husband's needs are complex, and the staff could not have accommodated him better; his care, chat and general happiness are
clearly paramount. Many of our friends have visited, and all have said they cannot fault the building and staff. Staff are kind, considerate and utterly professional. They have made the experience so much easier for both of us.

After a hip replacement, I came to St Marys Riverside for respite care. I stayed three weeks and found it to be the best five-star hotel type of accommodation I have ever had. Both for and staff were excellent; nothing was too much trouble, really felt like home from home. Staff were friends as well
as carers.
Only suggestion would be handrails and seats in showers. This would help staff as well as would give a feeling of independence to residents. Overall, I can't speak too highly.

My mum was booked in initially for two weeks of respite care. She was beautifully cared for by very kind and diligent staff. The surroundings/rooms/facilities are very impressive, and every comfort was provided. I couldn't fault any aspect of the service we received, and I thank everyone for their help,
support, advice and care.

My dad had to go into a carehome, so I did my research, and St Mary's Riverside was by far the best in the area. The staff are very caring, kind and helpful. I visit on a regular basis, and I'm made to feel very welcome on every visit. The actual care home is more like a five-star hotel. The rooms are
spacious and clean, with fantastic views of the river and bridge.
My dad has settled in very nicely and now looks fit and well with all the care and attention he has received.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend St Mary's Riverside to any parent who needs to go into care.

My mum recently went into St Mary's Riverside for some respite care after a hospital stay. Apart from the place being beautiful, along with the views of the bridge, it is the staff that absolutely makes the place. They are all very caring and compassionate and treat each of the residents like they were
members of their own families. When I say the staff, I mean all of the staff - carers, nurses, cooks, cleaners, managers and even the handyman. Even the visitors are welcomed with open arms and a slice of homemade cake! The food is cooked fresh every day and is amazing, according to my mum! I would highly recommend St Mary's Riverside to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.

I wanted to arrange for my 97-year-old mother to spend some time in respite for the first time while I went away. I had recently been told of a new care home in Hessle. I contacted the home, and the manager was most helpful and supplied information. I contacted her when mother I decided respite would
be a good idea, and someone from the home visited Mum in my absence to assess her needs. The next morning, I took Mum to have a look round; she liked what she saw and stayed. All the staff are lovely, friendly and genuinely caring and are looking after Mum extremely well, which gave me great peace of mind. The home itself is by far the best I have viewed and feels more like a hotel, and visitors are always made very welcome at any time.

The care home welcomed my mother-in-law into their home and has helped to get her settled in, and hopefully, she will settle in well with the lovely staff. They have been very encouraging with her and always keep us informed of everything that is happening.

This home is the best place we put our relative in. The care he got was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond for our relatives and us. The professionalism and compassion they have been above and beyond. I cannot sing their praises enough, from kitchen staff to care staff to management. It was
peace of mind for the family because we knew how well he was being looked after and cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done.

The staff and management at St Mary’s Riverside could not do enough to care for and look after my uncle, who unfortunately died there on the 14th of June. They made him very comfortable and well cared for, and also our family, some of whom came from London and we were also looked after before and after
his death. I cannot say enough about this home and its wonderful staff.

This is a truly fantastic care home. Mum settled in right away in her beautiful room overlooking the Humber Bridge and estuary. We went to the Open Day and were shown around by the deputy manager, and it was obvious from the start that the staff were kind, considerate and experienced in looking after
the people in their care. St Mary's Riverside is more like a luxury hotel than a care home. Everywhere is spotless, and the staff are always present in case they are needed. Mum loves her breakfast and now makes sure she has not only cereal but also a cooked breakfast every day. She says the food is excellent, and the portions are generous too. When we visit, we are always welcomed with a cup of coffee and a slice of homemade cake. We have also been able to take our dogs to visit Mum, which she loves and other residents seem to enjoy seeing them too. Having looked at several care homes recently, we knew as soon as we walked in that this was the one. I can't recommend it highly enough

Very professional staff and management teams. Nothing is too much trouble. Residents are treated with the respect and dignity they justly deserve. The home is more akin to a hotel than a residential home. The emphasis is on "home" from home. As an Ambulance driver, I have had the occasion to visit many
care homes, and this is by way and far the very best I have seen.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for St Mary's Riverside 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.947 for St Mary's Riverside is calculated as follows: ( (338 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.947

  • 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 St Mary's Riverside is based on 30 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 30 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.
