Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our father was only at Riverdale for a little over a week, but the impact the staff made was heartfelt. During such a difficult time, he was treated with incredible dignity, care and compassion. As a family, we were met with nothing but respect and empathy. Though our father has passed away, we take
great comfort knowing his final days were spent in the best possible care. We cannot thank the team enough.
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Riverdale Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share such a heartfelt message with us.
We are deeply sorry for the loss of your father. It means a great deal to know that, during such a difficult time, our team at Riverdale was able to provide him with dignity, compassion and care, and to support your family with the respect and empathy you deserved.
Even though his stay with us was short, we are truly honoured that we could be part of ensuring his final days were comfortable and peaceful. Your kind words will mean so much to the whole team, who work incredibly hard to provide the highest standard of care and support to every resident and their families.
Please accept our sincere condolences once again. Thank you for trusting us to care for your father.

On 1/12/2025 I had two friends visit me, the first thing that they mentioned was the quality and standard of the accommodation. They were very impressed by this. The fact that on arrival they were offered a cup of coffee served to reinforce that impression. The same can be said of my two sons who visit
on a very regular basis.
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Riverdale Care HomeWe're delighted to hear that your friends were impressed by the quality and standard of the accommodation, and that such a positive impression was made from the moment they arrived.

My wife has now been at the care home for about 6 months and is fully settled in. I was invited to a Country and Western Musical, BBQ and ice cream event at the care home. Really not my scene, however, my wife is very musical. I went and was immediately impressed with the fantastic organisation that
had obviously gone into the planning. The music, BBQ and the tattoo painting lady. The star for me was the maintenance man, normally rushing around with a screwdriver in his hand, fully dressed up as Woody from Toy Story. A really memorable day. I wish to thank everyone for the excellent planning for a most enjoyable day.
Reply from Jay Demetrious, Marketing Executive at Riverdale Care HomeThank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased your wife has settled in and that you both enjoyed the Country and Western BBQ. The team will be delighted to hear your kind words, especially about our very own Woody! We look forward to welcoming you to more events soon.

I would just like to say how very happy we are that my husbands mother is in Riverdale care home Braintree. From the minute you walk through the door you are met with a big smile and a hello. The staff and management are amazing, we are all on first name terms. The activities they have daily are very
engaging. My dad is in there at the moment on respite, and he is really enjoying himself. You have plenty of choice when it comes to food. Your family member is looked after to a very high standard. The rooms have en suites, and if you need anything they are happy to oblige. I can not recommend this care home enough. When we took my mother in law for respite in the beginning, because she had just been diagnosed with double dementia we worried that she would be unsettled, but no, within a day or 2 she was ringing us up and saying that she wanted to stay and didn't want to go back home. Highly recommended, could write more but no space.
Reply from Lucy Mcshane, Marketing Assistant at Riverdale Care HomeThank you so much for your lovely review. We're so happy to hear how well both your mother-in-law and father have settled in and that they're enjoying the care, activities and food. Your kind words about our staff, food, and facilities are very much appreciated, and we'll make sure to share them with the team. Thank you again for your recommendation - it's an honour to be trusted with the care of your loved ones.

A beautiful home full of beautiful staff. We were so upset when we knew Dad needed nursing care, but the team at Riverdale knew exactly what to do and say to make things as happy as possible. It feels like a second home for us all, despite our short stay. The staff gave Dad his dignity back and we can't
thank them enough. The home is in a lovely location with beautiful gardens and the decor is classy and homely. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Couldn't recommend enough.
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Riverdale Care HomeWe're truly moved by your message and honoured that you chose Riverdale to care for your dad during such an important time.We understand how emotional and difficult the transition to nursing care can be, and it means everything to us that our team was able to provide comfort, reassurance, and support to both your dad and your family. Knowing that Riverdale felt like a second home-even during a short stay-is the highest compliment we could receive.Restoring dignity, offering genuine care, and creating a warm, welcoming environment is at the heart of everything we do. Your kind words about our staff, the surroundings, and the overall atmosphere will be shared with the whole team, thank you again for your trust and recommendation.
