Riverside Residential Care Home

Since my mum came into Riverside Carehome Barnsley. The manager Sue is very approachable so is her staff. My mum is very happy there she loves the bingo games and other activities, My mum is always clean and tidy and she loves the carers. Its 100% from me and My family would not have my mum anywhere else.

mum was unable to recall much of the detail of her 2 week stay, due to her dementia, but she said she had been happy and well treated, she had missed her daily walk but otherwise seemed to have been perfectly comfortable, perfect outcome for a first respite break. Thank you for looking after her for me.

My husband has been in Riverside Care Home for just over 3 years, I would never consider putting him anywhere else. The care is second to none; the cleanliness has been improved, and the food is good, also the friendliness of the staff and management is wonderful,

I recommend this residential home - It is kept clean and tidy every day and always smells clean and fresh. Residents beds are always made with clean linen. Laundry is washed and ironed on the same day and always returned correctly. Very well managed home with approachable and proactive manager who is always visible and available for advice or concerns. Care manager also organised and carries out tasks as soon as possible. Senior carers are efficient + knowledgeable. Almost all the staff are polite, friendly and accomodating. I feel fortunate that my relative is in this home. Thank you to all the lovely staff and for their hard + challenging work

Going through a really difficult time we had to find care for our lovely dad. The staff and care we had from Riverside was so kind and helped me and my sister so much. It took a lot of stress from us knowing he is so looked after and cared for by lovely staff. We know he is so safe and settled. We cant thank all of you enough.

I am highly delighted with the facilities provided by the Riverside Care Home. My wife has fitted in well and we both think that the staff and management at the home are second to none. There is nothing to much trouble for the staff, The food and choices of food are marvellous, I cannot recommend the home enough. I am highly delighted with the choice I made

KAY - DAUGHTER My mum has been in Riverside since December 2024 she's always clean & tidy with her hair styled every week in the 'salon' which she loves. Mum always comments that the food is very good. All in all although it took some time, mum seems settled and happy. Its a relief for the family to know that she is well cared for

Good care given to Mum, always kept up to date with progress & health. Staff are all very friendly & loving towards mum & are always helpful. Lots of activities/events and entertainment are provided to residents and families are encouraged to attend & also to give their opinions regarding any improvement etc. (Activities are excellent, just awaiting a replacement employee).

We have found Dad much improved in his short stay and he has said he wants to remain here.

Peter's mental well-being has improved 100% since admission. The staff are very supportive and cannot be faulted for their care of him.

I literally wouldn't have her anywhere else.

Since my grandad has moved into riverside ive seen a massive improvement in his health. I cant thank the staff at riverside enough they are absolutely brilliant! So caring and extremely kind!

Thankyou !

It really is lovely coming in to the home .I am really close to my Nannan and I appreciate the care she recieves. Thankyou Riberside .

Our family is more than happy with the excellent level of care and attention towards her. We cannot praise all the staff at the home highly enough and are so happy we chose Riverside.

The management and staff are always friendly and approachable and provide regular updates. Dad appears happy and family are extremely pleased with the care he is provided.

I would just like to thank the entire team/staff of Riverside Care Home for their professional care, kindness and personal attention they give my father since he became a resident. The manager, Sue, went above and beyond her role to give our family support during his transition to full-time care. He is happy and relaxed. His quality of life has improved no end. Nothing is too much for the manager and staff. Can't thank them enough.

My mum had a 2 week stay at Riverside in Septrmbrt 2025. I cannot fault any part of her care while she was there. All the staff were absolutely amazing, I would like to thank them all for treating my mum with the care and dignity that she deserved. Nothing was too much trouble, we asked and the staff made sure it was done. I observed the other residents while visiting my mum and they were all treated with respect and you could see that all the staff loved their jobs and not just doing 'a job'.

The staff have been incredibly welcoming, making our father feel truly at home. Their kindness, attentiveness and supportive atmosphere have turned what could have been a difficult transition into a very positive experience. Thanks to your staff at Riverside Residential Care Home, he is more than happy to make this his permanent residence. On behalf of our family, thank you.

The staff team are attentive and if a concern was raised they acted very promptly.

Having recently been admitted to this care home, I was so pleased to see that the word CARE is just what this home is all about. The residents seem happy, the visitors are treated with respect. I am so happy my husband is a resident here.
