I am constantly trying to speak to my mother at the care home. As I do not live near it is really important to keep up communication. I only had a conversation with the manager yesterday 22/04/23 how poor this was. Have called today and yet again got an answerphone. We have only just been made aware a new company has taken over the home and things are meant to be improved. I can not see this.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the issue and we have made the manager aware of this, kindly accept the apologies from her as well. It is definitely important to have communication to keep up with your loved ones. This will be sorted for you and we hope you don't face any such issues going further.
Kind Regards

Sadly being a distance from my Nan we don't have a hugely positive experience. We struggle to get through to her mobile and have now been told that we can have a quick call with her if the home is free to take a call. Living on the other side of the country, I'm not sure why communication is being cut off when we'd happily call my Nan frequently to give her more to look forward to each day. The home seems understaffed when we have been in person and when calling. During one phone call, we had to call an ambulance for my Nan as she was so breathless and the carer said "this happens all the time, you just don't know about it".

Hi Lisa, we are sorry to hear you have been dissatisfied with our service. We appreciate communication is extremely important between family members, I have raised your concern with the Home Manager. Please be assured our staffing levels are assessed regularly depending on the dependency of our residents and are in line with the expectations of our governing bodies.

My mother has been in Rivington Park Care Home for around seven years now. She is, at present, in the later stages of (dementia) Alzheimer's. At this time, she now resides in bed and requires more care. The standard of care she receives is brilliant, she is treated with dignity and love. Any problems with her health, the manager always lets me know. The home and herself are spotless. My mother always looks squeaky clean and very comfortable and relaxed. The staff don't only look after my mother, they also give me support. Walking in feels just like home.

Our father recently had a stroke and the nurse was excellent in their assessment skills and efficiency in getting the GP. We are informed at every point which is fantastic. He was very well looked after waiting for the ambulance. They make sure they know their residents so day change is reported. Following his discharge from the hospital, his senior carer that has just completed their Care Home Assistant Practitioner course which shows their dedication was amazing, ensuring his safety was paramount. We cant these staff enough especially for taking care of our dad.

A home with a heart. To move from your home of over forty years is a huge change. My elderly mother has now been a resident at Rivington Park for a few months. She has, as I have been met with kindness, care and compassion. Staff have answered any queries with politeness and efficiency. Nursing needs have been addressed and we have been kept well informed by staff. There is a cheerful attitude to residents who are cared for with dignity and also with consideration of individual needs.
The food is excellent, home cooked and with plenty of variety. The housekeeping team keep the facilities spotless and laundering of clothes is perfect.
An activities coordinator who is so proactive with family most welcome to join in.
My mother is safe, cheerful and the peace of mind for all concerned is immense.
We can enjoy time with her and are appreciative of this.

When visiting, I have found that my mother has always been treated with respect and dignity. Mother's room is of a good standard with most of the required facilities. The staff have always encouraged to drink more as this has been identified as a weak area on my mother's part. From what I have seen of the meals, they have been nutritious and more than enough. I am aware that there are a number of activities organised for all residents. In view of the above, I would not hesitate to recommend to other families to use this location.
