Overall, Rivermede is excellent. My mother has been a resident for over 2 years, the staff are really good,m they have a fairly good retention rate, they don't use agencies unless it's really necessary and the activities are second to none. It's clean, the telephone is answered quickly every time and the reception staff are always on the ball, happy to help and cheerful. Yes it's a lot of money but it's so much better than a lot of others in this price bracket. You get what you pay for overall.

I continue to be impressed by the staffing at Rivermede. They are professional, considerate, caring - a real pleasure to deal with. They make me feel comfortable that my mother is being cared for. The facilities are impressive but kept very clean and tidy. The grounds are always colourful and well maintained. The management have done a great job in running the facility and generally keeping me updated on what is happening. I would unhesitatingly recommend Rivermede.

This was a superb home for dad to commence his attended care. The staff are supportive, friendly and attentive to all the residents' needs. Cleaning and laundry services are ideal. Food was excellent with various choices to suit all tastes and appetites. When arranging outside hospital appointments the admin team ensured the visits were on time and transport and companions were provided. This is an excellent facility with exceptional staff, providing the best care.

Special thanks to a particular staff member - Mum had a denture fitting today and she is anxious about aftercare saying she could not fit them herself. This staff member crouched down and reassured Mum that all their care staff will help Mum get used to the dentures and help her to put them in and clean them. The kindness and compassion was beautifully timed as Mum would not hear it from me and we are now on a less stressful way forward. Thank you to that staff member - gutted you are retiring.

Mum was resident at Rivermede Court for nearly three years, before she passed away in December 2024. During that time she received exemplary care. Initially, Mum, who had an Alzheimer's diagnosis, did not not need a great deal of support - she was on the residential floor. Over time her needs increased both as her dementia worsened and following a fall when she broke her hip. The home were always ready to give her the care and support she needed. Mum was a very sociable person and loved the activities and entertainment. She particularly enjoyed trips out and her favourite was to go to the theatre. Towards the end of her life Mum needed palliative care which was provided with the support of the community nursing team who visit the home regularly. I am so pleased that she was able to remain in the home surrounded by people she knew and who knew her until the end of her life. I will also always be grateful for the support offered to me by all of the staff during that difficult time.

Mum is well looked after and has the opportunity to join in the activities available. Mum said the food and drink available are very good and always there if required. The staff are friendly and always remember Mum's likes and dislikes. Mum has a nice room and it is always kept tidy.

Mum seems to have settled into her new home at Rivermede with all the help and care afforded her by your wonderful staff. I had feared a bumpy transition but it has gone better than I have expected, no doubt, to your combined experience. I thank you.

From the first contact, the support was exemplary. I spent over an hour with the Admissions Adviser, looking over the Home and discussing the support needed for a very close elderly friend suffering from both Dementia and Alzheimer's. This was for a respite stay whilst essential building work was carried out on his home. I was shown all areas, rooms, and dining areas and chatted with some residents and staff. The arrangements were very professional and prompt which allowed us total peace of mind for the admission. He settled in immediately and thoroughly enjoyed taking part in some of the activities and sitting with other residents during lunches. Unfortunately, he became quite unwell a few days after admission, the staff noticed this immediately and called an ambulance, informed the family, and kept the room open for his return when discharged. I cannot recommend Rivermede highly enough, everything is 5*. Thank you to three members of staff in particular, and all the staff.

My Mum came here for respite care. She has been through a rough patch. By the time she left, she was a different person. She was stronger, looking forward to life, and with a twinkle back in her eye. The staff here are truly amazing and it has been a pleasure to get to know them. Thank you Rivermede.

Carers are friendly, professional, and all-around amazing. They were respectful to my Mother and her disabilities, and not a bad word from her. The staff are accommodating and pleasant. The rooms are well-equipped, modern, and clean.

The room is lovely and every effort has been made to help Mum settle in. The food is excellent and very suited to Mum's tastes. The care staff are amazing, and very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Everything we have raised has already been noticed and acted on by the staff. Very pleased to have found Mum in such a lovely place.

My mother stayed at Rivermede Court for three years when her frontotemporal dementia reached a level where she needed full time care. She remained at the home until she passed away last week. I am so grateful to the amazing care team at Rivermede for great care and affection they showed my mother during her time there. Furthermore, the home was always accommodating of my mother's deteriorating mental condition and were able to care for her advanced dementia in a fuss-free and compassionate manner. During my mother's final days, I spent almost and entire week in the home and watched the staff laughing and singing with the residents in such a lovely warm and relaxed atmosphere. I cannot recommend the home more.

Our initial two months at Rivermede Court for my grandmother have exceeded expectations. We chose it in part due to a personal referral from a friend and have not been disappointed. The facilities are superb but the excellent, warm and professional staff team truly make it.

We have always been very grateful for the care that my mother-in-law has received since she arrived in February 2021. The staff are very caring and supportive of the residents' and their families too. We are so pleased that we found Rivermede Court, we have no worries at all about the care my mother-in-law is getting, it is second to none.

Always a happy place to visit. The care here is at the forefront and not just 'top dressing'. Wonderful staff for the reception to catering.

The moving-in experience has been excellent, all staff caring and understanding, have already seen an improvement in Mum.

Mum is happy, relaxed and very comfortable with all aspects of the care home. She loves the activities, and we are very appreciative of all the activities the care home provides. I can't recommend Rivermede enough.

Amazing care home. My mother was hesitant about coming to the home, but seeing her when she first came to the home and picking her up, she has her mojo back. My mum has been more active, having people to talk to has boosted her moral. The staff are 1st class, with service and have made her so comfortable, better than being at home. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My mum will be back!

As well run as ever.
