Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend Riverside enough for the love care compassion and commitment to our Dad who is currently residing there .The staff are amazing and so is the management and nothing is too much trouble for any of them .Queries are always answered fully and also medical issues addressed and sorted immediately.
Helen
and Shirley are our go to staff and are extremely knowledgeable and fully transparent re Dad and his daily behaviour eating and mobility.
If I could give this home 10 stars I would as Dad being there has given us much peace of mind knowing he is being so well looked after which is important especially with his Dementia.
Also I have had experience of other care homes and none have come close to this one.
Thankyou to everyone from all the family for your unwavering commitment to Dad

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was a resident at Riverside from May 2023, having been moved from another nursing home to be closer to ourselves. The experience of Riverside, from day one, has been exemplary with all the staff ensuring my aunt was well dressed, clean and ensuring her dietary needs were met, even when she had
gone off standard food and was on liquid supplements. She had dementia and found it difficult to communicate but the way the staff spoke with her was a joy to watch her face light up when she was spoken to. When medical issues occurred, her care was forefront and I and my partner were informed at all times until she passed away very recently. The funeral directors also passed on to me how respectful all the staff were when my aunt was taken into their care. So very touching. This venue is excellent and highly recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my family would like to thank all the staff at Riverside Care Home for caring for both of my grandparents over the last few months. Especially this last week during the end of my Grandads life. The care, compassion, and commitment of all staff have been outstanding. Both day and night staff
have made us feel comfortable, relaxed and well looked after during the difficult time. We continue to thank them for the ongoing care they are giving to my Grandma and the support she is receiving during her grief. Special thanks to all the team. You made our difficult situation easier and without you all looking after us we don't know what we would have done.

Thought my mum was going into a loving care home but that was not the case. More regimental feeling as opposed to a homely feeling. I lost my mum in Sept 24, was a peaceful passing and she is now at rest, which is the comfort to this day I have, as she had me and my husband by her side. Staff and management
wanted the funeral date but no show from anyone to represent Care UK or Riverside was very saddening for me. Please choose wisely when looking at care homes for your loved ones.

What can I say... my mum has improved massively since coming to Riverside care home. Her balance has improved, and she is now fully continent. The staff are wonderful; they actively encourage Mum to take part in activities. As I write this, she is having her nails done. She is happier, fitter and putting
weight on. The only downside - the building is dated.

The care at Riverside is excellent, thanks to dedicated and hard-working staff. My husband's needs are met in a capable and compassionate manner and I have great respect for the way in which all residents are treated. As a very frequent visitor, I am always welcomed and supported by all staff. Unfortunately,
the Riverside premises are shabby and run-down and the rooms are small and functional. Clearly the strength of Riverside is the quality of it's staff.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My comment regarding poor management refers to the last 5 years. A the moment there is no permanent manager. I expect a great improvement when there is. The home is very tired and in need of refurbishment, both inside and out - rotten window frames, leaking gutters. Inside, new furniture for all rooms
needed. Staff are very friendly and obviously care for their residents but there is a lack of managed organisation and the work ethic could be better. Laundry needs totally reorganising as too many of the residents' clothes are lost or damaged. Communication- management- staff - requires improvement.

My mum moved to Riverside just over a year ago and she has flourished. She is always clean and smiling now. The food is really good and the staff are excellent on Lowry Unit. It's more like a family than staff and residents. A few more staff would be good, but she is looked after well and I can leave
knowing she is in safe hands.

Overall, our experience has been good. Dad has settled well, and the carers are lovely; they always update us and listen to any concerns. The food is great, with plenty of choices and snacks. The rooms are satisfactory but would benefit from new windows. We have decorated Dad's room to make it homey.
Maintenance is a concern as preparing a toilet took weeks, and during a power out, there were no torches or emergency lighting available in the resident's room - management went out to purchase extra care with laundry, and cleaning would be my suggestion.

In the past 12 months, the home has cared for my partner in exceptional ways. They have kept him clean, fed him well and given him respect. In my opinion, they go far beyond their duties. Nothing is too much trouble. I feel lucky to have found this establishment when I could no longer care for him,
and I rest easy knowing that he is in safe hands. Thank you!

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I find the room my sister is living in, not kept clean. I have now taken the role of doing my sisters washing because clothes went missing plus clothes are left on the floor in the room and many times I have asked the staff to make sure my sister wears a smoke apron, that is not always done. I have
found dirty wipes plus a used nappy or undergarment left on the floor. I find with some of the staff that if a family member visits the home they should be welcomed and if possible made to relax and possibly have a cup of tea or coffee. With family members living at the home I find that depends on which staff are working the shift when I visit, overall, Riverside is not the most welcoming place.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.800) out of 10 for Riverside is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.203 for Riverside is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (3 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.203
  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 3.597 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riverside is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.222
  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 almost 20 years of experience in the health and social care sector, starting my career as a care assistant and working my way up to become a home manager. Along the way, I’ve gained many skills and qualifications, including completing my Level 5 diploma.

I chose to join Care UK because of its strong reputation for delivering quality care. It’s important to me to be part of an organisation that shares my values of compassion and empathy. For my role, understanding, patience and good listening skills are essential.

Providing a good quality service is the most important part of my role, and I’m proud to lead a team committed to making a real difference every day.
