My father has been in River Court, Hampermill since May 2018. He has progressive Alzheimer's and when he was first admitted he was very aggressive to everyone. Over the last year, I have seen the carers work extremely hard at building a relationship with my father. To the point he is now, content, settled and happy. River Court offers superb emotional and physical care to its residents and I would recommend them.

All of the staff were the most kind, selfless, caring people who cared for mama like she was theirs. I will never be able to thank you enough for the care you surrounded her with and for accompanying her to her final place of peace.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you have seen the improvement in activities, which are now provided seven days a week with activity allocation sheets printed and distributed well in advance. Due to the extreme weather conditions, we had to cancel some planned trips, but have recently started taking Residents outside for Cafe mornings, Shopping, Wheelchair/ Walk rounds etc. We are also arranging regular Resident’s meeting to take into account views and preferences for the type of activities. We are currently recruiting activity staff to provide cover for holiday and sickness periods.
All staff, nurses, carers etc are all kind, caring and willing to oblige at any time.

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!”
