I have come here from hospital after breaking 6 ribs.
The staff are all very patient and kind. The food is very good. Homemade and delicious.
I have a large room with an ensuite, overlooking a garden.
Rider house is ideal for recuperating from an injury or operation in my opinion.

I have seen the care staff going out of their way to make mum and the other residents comfortable and contented.
A lot of effort is put into her food & drink intake with good meals and snacks. She has eaten better since being here.
I am reassured that she is in safe hands.

Could not thank the wonderful staff at Rider House Nursing Home for how they cared for my father-in-law.
Although he only had a short stay they made him welcome they were friendly efficient and nothing was too much trouble. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to be cared for.
Staff and management
went above and beyond.
Highly recommended.

Everyone is very good, kind and helpful. Cleanliness is excellent, they even wash the floor every day. And the laundry is excellent if I put something out in the morning it comes back the same day. They come quickly when you press the button.

I feel that I have my sanity back since Mum has been in Rider House. She is really settled and loves all the staff. She is so much improved since 2 years ago, it's amazing. The staff are fabulous.
The staff went above and beyond when my Father died in May.
I couldn't have wished for better care for
him, they were incredible and helped me at such a difficult time.

Rider House provides a warm, safe, caring environment for the residents. The carers are respectful and kind, with a lovely sense of fun.
My Mum hasn’t been the easiest of residents but Rider House (and particularly the manager) have been very patient in settling her in and making her feel at home.
We are very happy with the care she receives.

Rider House took my sister in as an emergency. I was apprehensive at first as my sister has complex needs. It was easy to see that the home is well-run and has a lovely atmosphere. Staff are very welcoming and so caring in the way my sister has been looked after. I have no hesitation in recommending
this wonderful home. We hope to see them all again in the not-too-distant future.

I worked in care for 14 years, I've been to lots of care homes and have been very concerned over the years. Rider House Nursing Home is a really lovely place from my mum, everyone is supportive and caring. I can visit and call and ask about Mum, always a positive response. I've seen exceptional patience
towards my mum and other residents their webpage always shows us the activities they do, Mum has settled. She shows no sign of distress which was paramount at home, great place for Mum 10/10.

Our sister came to you earlier in the year, having moved from a care home because of medical issues. She was having lots of problems previously, with mental health too. All of the issues have gone. She is happier and settled, and her quality of life has 100% improved. We can't tell you what this means
to us, relief, yes, both just that, the care and love all of your staff give us superb. Whenever we visit, our sister has her beautiful clothes., matched with her jewellery, which for her and us is so important. Alwats that extra mile. Thank you all so very much.

Our sister moved to Ryder House in April 23, and the care, support and love we have experienced have been amazing. The whole team maintains very high standards and is always friendly and supportive. The manager keeps us all really informed of any care plan changes. We are included in all decision-making,
and so is our sister. Their priority is to ensure their residents have a warm, loving environment and maintain their dignity and some control over their lives, which is so important. Thank you.

My sister moved to Rider House in April 23. This was the best decision we as a family have made. She needs full-time care because of her progressive MS. Since moving from her previous care facility, we have noticed a major change in her moods; she has been encouraged to join in activities which she
didn’t do before and is very happy and settled. The staff are all very caring and helped her settle in, and the staffing doesn’t change much, so she knows who is looking after her, which she finds very reassuring. The manager runs a tight ship, and it shows. She's always clean and well dressed, even down to matching jewellery for her outfits. Fantastic - cannot fault you in any way.

I have been a visitor at Rider House for several years. My mum received end-of-life care, and my dad received nursing care for many years, and now my sister-in-law is a resident.
Rider House is just a very special place, and my first impression all those years ago was exactly right.
The home is
welcoming, spotless and, in my opinion, staffed by a very professional, caring team. I trusted them with those I loved, and they have always done their very best.
Well done, Rider House.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.762)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.762) out of 10 for Rider House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.762 for Rider House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.762
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rider House Nursing Home is based on 19 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

"I have worked at Rider House since December 2018. During this time, I have seen immense changes at Rider House, supported by the management team and the wonderful, caring staff that Rider has. This ensures that we always strive to be the best we can, providing the love and care that we all work hard to achieve and is expected from our residents, their families, and our supportive community.
I have worked as a registered nurse for over 40 years and have never had second thoughts about my chosen career path. After initially qualifying I worked in general medicine, progressing to oncology, chemotherapy, palliative and EOL care nurse specialist. This career progression enables me to provide the best care we can for all residents regardless of their needs and ill health, ensuring that they are supported to live as well and happy as they deserve. I am constantly seeking to get the best from the staff, but in a manner that recognises their value and worth so that their enthusiasm and genuine care helps us all to achieve our intended aims.”
