My parents moved into Riverside 3 years ago. My father is still here and I visit weekly. He is very happy and settled here. The staff are very cheerful, competent and caring. There is clearly an experienced workforce and management.

My mam came to live at Riverside in September of last year. It wasn't something we were looking forward to as a family, but our worries were soon put at ease. It's a fantastic place, as are the staff. In February of this year, we thought we were losing her, and the staff couldn't do enough for my mam
and us as a family.

for their loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved in approx a year ago and there didn't seem to be much hope for her. Since then her her walking is much better, her whole demeanour has changed remarkably for the better ,she has increased weight and is totally settled and happy.
Riverside Court is a fantastic nursing home,brilliantly
ran always clean and warm. All staff without exception are pleasant and friendly, nothing is a problem and so relaxed.
I couldnt fault the home in any way,but have probably forgotten certain areas I should praise more.


Once again Thankyou

Review from Andy S (Son of Resident) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was admitted to Riverside Court in early February , he made his own enquiries about staying and after chatting with the manager he was so looking forward to staying.
From day 1 the staff were phenomenal. The professionalism, the knowledge and experience of the nurses, carers, support staff
coupled with their unbelievable kindness is something I have never experienced in any establishment before. We talk about the NHS being heroes during Covid but all these people at Riverside Court are just as much heroes as the NHS workers were. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and this really made my dads short stay as comfortable as possible during his illness.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending this nursing home to anyone in the future . I am so pleased my dads last few weeks were spent here, I couldn't have wished for any better place.
Thank you so much , it means a lot . Keep up the phenomenal work , you are all amazing.
Reply from Claire Cole, Marketing Assistant at Riverside Court Care Home

Since moving into Riverside, my sister-in-law is the happiest we have seen her in years even at home with carers she wasn't this happy. She loves the carers, the games, quizzes, karaoke, and the crack she has with all the staff and other residents. It's made her life much better.

All staff are very caring, polite and helpful. Not only to the residents but also to all visitors. Nothing is too much trouble. Upon admission, everything was explained in detail and any questions were answered. In my view, Riverside was/is the perfect choice and is an excellent care home.

When my sister moved into the home both me and my sister were unsure, but not anymore, from management to staff and admin staff and activity coordinator are all excellent at what they do. My sister is so happy. She has gained weight for the first time in years and is always smiling. We thank you all
for that. I would recommend Riverside Court Care Home very highly to everyone.

My stay has been ok, it has been everything I'd hoped for. The staff are friendly and do go out of their way for me. I did enjoy going to the arts and crafts and I also went out to do a little shopping before I went home and also had lunch. The girls also left me some knitting and books for my room.
I will return in the near future for another holiday, thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Riverside Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.850 for Riverside Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.85
  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 Riverside Court Care Home is based on 22 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 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 Joined: 2021

I've been with Riverside Court now for 4 years, having transferred from a sister home in Whitehaven family.


I qualified as a nurse in 1996 and have been fortunate to have worked in a variety of areas, from Intensive care, to the community, to a GP practice. This allowed me to both expand my knowledge base and adapt my working practice around both my daughters whilst they were growing up, for which I'm grateful.
