The staff have always treated my aunt with care, friendliness and compassion. All staff from the caretaker, carers and office staff. I have always been met with smiles and welcome greeting.

Dad has been a resident since September last year. I visit him on a regular basis. Each time I go I am struck by the professional manner of all the staff. But not only that, they care about the people they are caring for, I have seen them hugging residents and engaging with them, not just performing what must be arduous duties but actually showing affection for them and going the extra mile even towards the end of what was most likely a trying shift. In my opinion, they should all be commended for a job well done and I would most certainly recommend this particular home to anyone seeking a safe, secure and above all a friendly place.

My Mum spent 3 years at Riverdale, where she was looked after extremely well. The standard of care was very good and the food was excellent (something my Mum really enjoyed). I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anybody who has a relation with Dementia. Many thanks to the staff and management for all your efforts.
Thank you again.
Best wishes.
My mother was resident in Riverdale 8 months following her husbands death. Her time their was spent surrounded by very attentive and caring staff both day and night. She was constantly being reassured and after several months settled into her new surroundings thanks to the caring and thoughtful...
With her family living over 150 miles away we were reassured by the consideration and care shown by the staff to her between our weekly visits.

Hi an update on my mums care, she has been in Riverdale a couple of years now, can't believe the progress she has made, you can see the difference in her she's happy, content, loves all the carers, has a laugh and joins in on the activities provided. The staff are always so caring and thoughtful towards her. She was depressed when she first went in the care home with her dementia, now she is a different woman and has amazed me and my sister to how she used to be. Brilliant care and the lady in the kitchen always spoils her at mealtimes, the home cooked food is a high standard and plenty of variety. There is always a quick response when medical care is needed. Can't thank the staff enough, me and my sister can relax from all the stress and worry we were experiencing knowing my mother is in the capable hands of all the nursing staff there.
I would highly recommend Riverdale nursing home .*** A BIG THANKYOU RIVERDALE ***
