Review from Marian E (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved my mum into Riverdale Court care home on the 7th January 2026, it has been a long road, however since moving mum here i have found that she has a much happier demeanor,
The staff are very caring , professional, courteous and friendly at all times, no job how big or small is too much,
The carers,
office/ cleaning staff and owners have taken the time to get to know and understand my mums needs, and are keeping her comfortable and safe.
before moving my mum into Riverdale Court i could never relax and spent a great deal of my time visiting and tending to her myself, not any more ,, now i know she is under constant supervision and care, with all her needs being met,,
I would like to thank all the staff for their constant help and i can totally recommend the services and comforts in this home from home facility ....

Review from Steven S (Son of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mum moved into this care home, I have been extremely happy with the care she is receiving. The improvement compared to her previous care home is noticeable already. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, and they have taken the time to get to know my mum and her needs.
She appears
much more settled and comfortable, which is a huge relief for our family. It is reassuring to know that she is being looked after so well in a safe and supportive environment. I finally feel confident that my mum is receiving the level of care she deserves. Thank you to all the staff for the compassion and dedication you show every day

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.189)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.189) out of 10 for Riverdale Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.958 for Riverdale Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958
  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 3.231 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riverdale Court Care Home is based on 2 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    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 94 registered maximum number of service users is 18.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.106
  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.
