Review from Pamela D (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The care home is staffed well and good care is taken of the service users. The food is excellent. I think the activities person is good, but could maybe do with some help. A lot of the staff have left lately who we had to built up a lovely bond with and they knew the service users needs etc, so now
new staff have come who seem nice and we have we can build up a good rapport. Also, can ask the staff and management questions or help for our father, mother etc. at anytime. Overall, very good.

Review from G R (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has recently moved into Riverside House and we couldn't have chosen a better place for her. Right from the start, from stepping through the doors to visit, to my mum becoming a resident, we were made to feel welcome and involved. The home is very welcoming and well maintained. It smells fresh
and the residents are well kempt and clearly very well cared for.
The staff have been fantastic and every single member of the team has been absolutely lovely. We looked at other homes but none even came close to Riverside House. The emphasis is very much on providing high quality care for the residents and their loved ones and we feel very pleased and reassured that mum is a resident at Riverside House.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.366)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.366) out of 10 for Riverside House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.591 for Riverside House is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 137 Ratings = 4.591
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riverside House is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
