Eckington Court Nursing Home
from S D (Wife of Resident) published on 16 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

When a loved one has to go into care words cannot describe how you feel. My husband has now been in care for approx 1 year, he always looks clean, smart and tidy. The staff are really friendly, always there to cheer you up. Recently it was our wedding anniversary, they made sure we had a day full of

memories, I cannot thank them enough. The icing on the cake would be if we were able to get out and about a little more.

from S B (Son of Resident) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Mother's transition into care has been a traumatic experiences. This was due to poor and slow council actions. The care home, however, was understanding of the issues.
Care has been prompt, kind and appropriate, especially when she was ill.

Review of
Eckington Court Nursing Home
from Elizabeth L (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Father went in for respite care. The home was always welcoming. The staff do an amazing job and nothing is too much trouble. My Father has commented on how good the food is. Whilst visiting I've noticed many positive aspects to the home including the cruise entertainment, mad hatters tea party and

the nursing home dog. My Father likes the outdoors and had the weather been better the staff would have put him in the beautiful gardens.
Next time I would send both parents in for respite.

Overall very happy with my mums care. I'm a bit disappointed that sometimes when I visit there is no drink or it is too far away for her to reach even though we have made staff aware, I was even told there was a shortage of beakers.

I absolutely love this care home. The staff are brilliant with the residents and cannot do enough for them. My mum is happy here. I no longer worry about her well being now she is at Riverdale. The activities that they do are brilliant and the residents love it.
If you are looking for a care home

from C G (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mum has been here for the last 20 months. The care my mum has received is excellent. Starting with residentail cre and now needing nursing care. This dementia home has gone above & beyond to keep my mum safe, well cared for all the things you would expect but this nursing home doesn't just keep her

safe, clean, well fed, they make time for her and love her as though she is part of their family and this is her home like being at home with me. I leave knowing her well being is first and foremost for all members of staff. My mum has vascular dementia so her behaviour at times is very challenging. Thank you Eckington Court for reassurance, compassion and care for making my mum feel happy & safe.

Riverdale Care Home
from Joanna J (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Riverdale has completely been turned around since my Dad moved here 2 years ago.
The new staff and new management team are great. The place is immaculately clean now and most importantly my Dad is well taken care of. The home manager will always make time for me if I have any queries.
There are

always lots of activities for the residents and you are made to feel welcome by the staff when you visit your loved ones.

Review of
Riverdale Care Home
from Julia S (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I have nothing but praise for every member of the team at Riverdale Care home. Mum was a resident there for nearly 5 months until her passing recently. The care she has received has been exemplary and she was shown kindness, compassion, respect and love during all her time at the home. Putting a loved

one with dementia into a care home is not an easy decision and one which we as a family had no choice but to make but I can honestly say from the day she went in our mum was treated with the utmost respect and kindness.
Every time we visited we were also made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for any of the team members.
When mum passed away she was treated with dignity and was never left alone.
Riverdale truly felt as if it was mums own home and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing to find a care home for their loved one.

Review of
Eckington Court Nursing Home
from A W (Father of Resident) published on 11 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The care home is extremely clean and the cleaners are friendly and do a fantastic job.
The receptionist always greets you with a smile and will also help in anyway she can.
The carers always respects the residents privacy and puts them first but most of all they are so gentle, caring and have a good

understanding of everyone's needs. The management always makes time to walks around talking to the residents listening to them.

The food is freshly made every day and if you want something different that's not on the menu they will always cook it for them. They do arts, trips to the shops, have bands and other performing acts on, coffee mornings to raise money for charity. I would highly recommend.

from S L (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mum is very well looked after and we are very happy with the care she receives. Although security is very important, sometimes we find it difficult to get in and out of the nursing home. My mum has a room downstairs and sometimes, although we know staff are always busy. We struggle to get out of

the security door and when upstairs we have to wait to get out of the main door.

Chatsworth Lodge Care Home
from M W (Friend of Resident) published on 4 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

There is always a warm and friendly welcome when I visit a friend at this home. Residents can stay in their rooms if they wish or be with others in the sitting room or conservatory which overlooks the garden. There is a good mix of activities for those who wish to join in. Management and staff do their

very best for everyone. Carers are always busy looking after someone. So the only negative is that my friend sometimes has to wait for them to answer her requests for the toilet when she needs it.
All in all a lovely atmosphere at this home.
