River Brook Care Home Reviews (21)
River Brook Care Home has a Review Score of 9.5 (9.538) out of 10, based on 15 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time River Brook Care Home has 21 reviews.
As a healthcare professional myself, I regularly treat patients in care homes across Birmingham and can say, with hand on heart, that this is the best I have seen.
The care and compassion shown by the staff is evident on every visit. The residents are well looked after and engaged in meaningful activities or conversation with staff who know their individual personalities and interests.
The home is always clean and bright. The staff are always around to talk to the residents not just to do their daily tasks, and have endless patience.
As a family, we couldn't have wished for a better home for my father-in-law to end his days with dementia, in peaceful and dignified surroundings with staff who really care.
We are touched and delighted with the comments. Thank You for taking the time to review our home. Your loved one will be sadly missed by us all. It was a real pleasure and privilege to care for such a special man.
