Rivendell House

Care my mum received is excellent, but at over £8000 per month, the value is unacceptable.

Mum was in Rivendell from roughly June 2023 through to December 2025; she died on Boxing Day after a period of non-specific illness commencing with a minor stroke in April 2025 and then from early November a series of other problems. Rivendell were extremely attentive to my mother throughout those 3+ years but particularly in the closing months of her life when the senior staff's knowledge and recall of the specific details of her condition were extremely professional.

My mother has been a resident in the care home for approximately one year and she seems very happy .I feel very relaxed knowing that she is being well looked after and cared for.The varied activities presented to her have helped to keep her mind alert and ,as i know she enjoys company, participating in the games has brought her close to staff and residents.The staff are very attentive to her needs and always appear very friendly.All in all our family is very pleased with the care home.

Rivendell has provides high quality care in a beautiful setting. The staff are both professional and homely, they are kind and considerate which is a great comfort to me and all my family. She is treated with kindness, patience and respect and this means so much to me. Prior to becoming a permanent resident she visited on respite and she had visited other homes on respite and this seemed the best for many reasons. There is a calmness and confidence that emanates from a well run home and it makes her being there the right place to be. I was no longer able to manage looking after her and having her in a home was not going to be easy, but she is happy there and that is a great relief, as of course we all want the most for our own mum. So many thanks to all the staff at Rivendell, I don't say it enough, but I do really appreciate each and every one of you.
