I have been here 5 years. Came during covid lockdown due to complications with covid left me unable to put pressure on foot for 6 months, after which I could not walk. I find the care received here exemplary, nothing is too much trouble from nurses, care staff, activities staff, laundry and cleaning and kitchen staff. They are all kind and helpful, my personal care is well looked after. If something I won't eat on the menu, chef will make alternative. I would highly recommend River Court for short or long term care.
My dad was always clean, happy, well fed and entertained by the carers and staff.

They were all very friendly to us as a family and I felt confident that when we weren't there, he was being very well looked after. Thank you to all the Hampermill staff.
From day one they supported us and my mother with great care and compassion. This made a huge difference at a very sad time for all of us. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the whole team for the care and love they provided.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a huge thank you to all the staff at Hampermill Unit, Rivercourt Care Home, for the patience, kindness, dignity, and love they showed to my mum who was resident there for nearly 18 months. As a family, we were always given such a lovely welcome. The unit is spotless, my mum's room was always immaculate. There are so many people who make this place such a nice home, the Matron, the nurses, carers, cleaners, laundry, catering, all doing such a difficult job to such a high standard, with humility, love and respect. I can never thank them enough. Sadly my mum has now passed away, looked after right to the end by these wonderful people. Thank you and we will miss you all.

My wonderful uncle was a resident here for over 2 years and was looked after so very well by everyone. They cared for him with kindness and patience in abundance.
They also supported both my auntie and myself during his lengthy stay and most especially at the end. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they do a very difficult job with a smile on their faces.
I have nothing but admiration and thanks for all of the staff - nurses, carers, cleaners, caterers, laundry etc.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We as a family were very happy and satisfied with the care given to my husband. All the staff did their best to make him feel secure and happy and made us as a family feel welcomed and included.

Mum has been here for just over a year now. She is very much at home. We know she is being looked after, and so have no worries. She gets on with the staff and has made friends here.

My 87-year-old mum is in River Court Care Home, Hampermill House. She has dementia and is very frail and not very mobile - but she has a wonderful heart and personality, and your outstanding unit manager and all the staff at Hampermill House have given her the best care I could have hoped for.

Thank you River Court, our dad could not have been in safer hands.
To all the staff involved with Grandad, I want to thank you for all that you have done for him. My dad has been my dad, my business partner, and I had the honour of being his carer for ten years. Not always easy, particularly just before my dad came to you. My mum and I were brought to our knees...
To all the staff involved with Grandad, I want to thank you for all that you have done for him. My dad has been my dad, my business partner, and I had the honour of being his carer for ten years. Not always easy, particularly just before my dad came to you. My mum and I were brought to our knees trying to help my dad on his decline, you as individuals have saved our lives as we were bewildered by the dramatic twists of Alzheimer's. You took over the care of the most precious person in me and my family's lives and you loved and cared for Grandad as though he were your own. For that, we will be forever indebted to you. With my hand on my heart, I thank you all for the love, kindness and support that you have given my dad and my family. Thank you.
River Court Care Home is a clean, comfortable and welcoming environment. Our mother is given very good care and is treated with dignity and kindness. Every single member of staff is extremely friendly and approachable. Thank you.

As Home Manager for River Court Care Home, Cecilia aims to provide the kindest care for each and every resident. She extends this caring approach to her colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.
Discussing her approach to working in the care sector, Cecilia said: “It has been my dream to be part of an environment that allows me to help and support those in need or who are vulnerable. It is also imperative in the care sector to be patient, caring and a good listener, which are all characteristics that I possess, making care work completely natural for me. Over a decade later, I remain truly overjoyed to be part of a rewarding sector!”
