Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother with dementia went into Five Rivers Living after being asked to leave his previous care home due to his behaviour, even though it was a highly rated dementia care home. After a few hiccups my brother settled in well, his behaviour became much better, and his general health improved, but most
importantly, he was very happy there. This care home has a real family feel about it, the staff are brilliant and well led by management that are "hands on" and know the residents personally. I can't thank everyone enough for the memorable times I spent with my brother, and how happy he was.
Reply from Ricky Sood, Managers at Five Rivers Living

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly grateful you entrusted us with your brother's care. It's heartening to know he felt happy and settled here-he was very much a part of our Five Rivers family. Your appreciation means a great deal to our whole team.

It is now 12 months since mum went to Five Rivers Living.
All of the staff at every level have far exceeded our expectations. All are friendly and approachable, but excellent in their roles. They also know how to have a laugh and joke with mum as well as know when more support or empathy is needed.
As
a family, we can not express our thanks enough for all they do for mum (and she feels the same). We feel very lucky that mum is a permanent resident at Five Rivers and happy that she is safe and well cared for at every level.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly grateful for your trust and are delighted to know your mum feels happy, safe, and well cared for with us. It's a pleasure to support her, and your feedback means a great deal to the whole team. We look forward to continuing to share many special moments with her.

Where do I even begin my nana became a resident at 5 rivers due to declining health dementia and skin cancer she was beyond challenging and I'm in no doubt that the care she was given was above and beyond the staff and management treated her with love and care and respect even though she was so nasty
and even violent at times they treated my grandad like family when he would visit and always looked after him when he was there I honestly do not think I could have chosen a better care home it's light and airy and modern always clean and food always looked good my nana sadly passed away due to her skin cancer and till the very end we would not have wanted anyone else to care for her every single member of staff I met along this journey I cannot thank them enough and will be forever greatful to them all

Very happy with the care home. My uncle has very complex needs that take up a lot of time and understanding. The management keeps us updated and is open and honest with the needs required. They are supportive and try to implement different things to support his needs. They keep him safe at all times.
The carers are kind and caring, and they are always interactive with the residents.

Five Rivers is a wonderful, friendly, clean and caring home. When moving my mum with advanced dementia 10 months ago we were very concerned with how she would settle as she did not respond well to carers at home. We couldn't be any more delighted with the home. She has a lovely clean, bright en-suite
room. Her appearance is always clean and she always has a smile on her face when staff talk to her. She is very happy there. They even look after my dad as he spends every day at the home visiting my mum. The lounge is nice and bright and beautifully decorated. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My autistic children are very sensitive to their environment and they love visiting their nana in the cinema room, watching cartoons and having a biscuit. My mum never asks to go home which is very reassuring. I would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Five Rivers Living 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 63 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 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 4.863 for Five Rivers Living is calculated as follows: ( (633 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 729 Ratings = 4.863
  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 Five Rivers Living is based on 63 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 63 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.
