Riverhead Hall is in a beautiful setting, with gorgeous safe gardens for the residents and families to enjoy. The inside of the home is welcoming, bright and spotlessly clean. The individual suites are very personalised and create a home-from-home feeling, which is reflected throughout. The dining room opens out onto the gardens and resembles a beautiful tea room. The quality and choice of food is excellent and meal times, like everything else at Riverhead Hall, are very person-centred with plenty of staff on hand to help where needed. The activities and events are excellent, there is always something going on to take part in. There are also quiet areas and space if needed. The care and activities are very person-centred with staff ensuring each person feels valued. I would give the staff 10 out of 5 if I could. Their care, devotion and skills are what makes my Mum so very happy and settled here. Staff and residents always appear happy.

The standard of care is very good and my brother's needs are catered for in a sensitive, caring manner. The home is well maintained and the standard of cleanliness is very good; the meals too are of a very good standard and the cook produces lovely cakes for residents' birthdays. The manager oversees a lovely, happy workforce with the gardener, maintenance workers, catering, and laundry staff alike, interacting with the residents and joining in their activities too. The activities organiser is exceptional, planning activities for each morning and afternoon of every day with music and singers coming in a number of times a month. Riverhead provides a safe, happy, and exceptionally friendly place for my brother to live and into which he settled with ease.

The moment my father was welcomed at Riverhead Hall, I knew we had found the right place for him to be cared for. His needs are very well met. Staff have taken the time to get to know him in order to make his stay more personal and comfortable. We as a family are welcomed at Riverhead at any time of day and have spent quality time enjoying the various activities and entertainment with him, allowing us to have cherished memories. The online page is a fabulous way for us to see him enjoying the company of other residents when we are not there. Every member of staff is approachable. The feeling within Riverhead is extremely homely and nothing is too much trouble. The residents are entertained with lots of activities and different areas to sit and a beautiful garden. I rate Riverhead as outstanding and would recommend them to everyone!

Highly recommend. The staff are fantastic, always friendly welcoming and helpful. You can tell they care about the residents. Always some activity for the residents to join in. One staff member organises fantastic things, especially the Riverfest last year. The home is undoubtedly amazing for my uncle who is well cared for and well fed and if he has any issues, then it's dealt with immediately. Can't fault them.

My mother has had a long and very pleasant stay at this lovely care home. The staff are friendly and caring, providing my mother with the constant care she needs. They always talk to her in a cheerful and encouraging way and include her in as many activities as possible. They are gentle and respectful when they move her and help her to be comfortable. They give her professional care but in a homely, sensitive manner. She is always happy to see them! I am very pleased with the care she receives.

As a family we were all very emotional, having to put Dad in a care home. Dad has dementia. From the first time we had a meeting with the manager, we were made to feel welcome. When Dad went into Riverhead Hall everyone made Dad and me, my sister and Mum feel welcome. Everyone is so dedicated to their job. Dad has been in 6.5 weeks now, I ring on days I cannot get to visit and it's never a problem for whoever answers the call, they are always available to give me an update on Dad. If he isn't feeling well, someone will call and make sure we are aware of what is happening. As a family, we feel part of a bigger family now as not only do they all do an amazing job of caring for Dad but they have shown compassion to us all when we have struggled with the transition of Dad settling in and we are so grateful of all the dedication and hard work they all do with a smile on their faces. Thank you to everyone who helps make our dad feel part of his new home in Riverhead Hall.

My grandma has lived at Riverhead Hall for around five years and I would not want her to be in any other care home. Riverhead Hall is lovely, the staff are all very helpful and friendly and most importantly my grandma is happy there. They have a lifestyle coordinator who provides lots of activities and my grandma loves to join in. The home itself is lovely and clean and grandma's room is always immaculate. Riverhead Hall is set on beautiful grounds and my grandma loves to spend time in the garden chatting with other residents. I can recommend this home to anyone.
It makes our whole team so happy to know your grandma is happy at Riverhead Hall. From activities to the grounds and gardens, to care itself - we want to make sure we cater to each and every individual to make sure they are having a lovely time with us.

Our mum has recently moved into this home following the closure of the one she has been in for three years. The overall feel of 'Riverhead' is much more appealing on so many levels. Mum is clearly more comfortable even though she is unable to make any responses to her surroundings. (It is not possible to comment on food, facilities, etc, as she is unable to participate).
Thank you for your feedback - we are glad to hear your mum is comfortable at Riverhead, as our team is always working incredibly hard to accommodate the care they give to each and every resident, taking in mind their personal and medical needs.
Greeted at the door PPE given. Room clean and odour free. Mother clean and comfortable.
