Issues raised are always addressed. The staff staff are very pleasant but with a bit more training for new and refresh with old staff would benefit the home greatly. A good home.

I feel the warm atmosphere when I visit, I feel my dad is safe and looked after well, staff are approachable and friendly and address me by name. I feel comfortable and it gives me peace of mind. Management always have time to talk with me, either in person or by telephone, which in other places you
don't get.

My overall experience of Five Rivers Living has been of both friendliness and approachability from the management and staff.
We visit daily to see my aged grandma and the home is always clean and tidy. Her room is well-appointed, spacious with an ensuite wetroom. Gran has formed good relationships
with several members of the care team, who are both supportive and kind.

The current manager has been so kind during the two weeks my dad spent in respite care at the care home. The carers were helpful and were chatty with Dad. The facility and grounds are always well-maintained. Previously the former management team was poor, but since the current manager has arrived I
have seen big changes for the better and the care home is making huge improvements under her guidance.

Thank you for your kind words, the team thoroughly enjoyed caring for dad at Five Rivers. We wish you all the best.

Review from D C (Friend of Resident) published on 6 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have recently visited Five Rivers Living and was pleasantly impressed as I entered the care home, I was greeted by a lovely bubbly outgoing career that took me to a large open-plan lounge area where my friend was.
They had an arts and crafts afternoon being run and saw all residents enjoying themselves
and getting involved, I was offered a cup of tea and asked if I wanted any cake.
I was met by the care home manager, who gave me an extremely in-depth update on my friend and how he was getting on, I noticed he had put on weight which is fantastic as he had found it difficult to do at home.
The whole team were absolutely amazing and were engaging with all the residents, all outstanding and their work and dedication are second to none.
The care home was clean, tidy and respectable and residents were active.
The care home is a very vibrant place and staff and management always giving over 100%.
I would highly recommend Five Rivers Living.
Keep up the amazing work.

Five Rivers provides a loving and caring environment for those in need of full-time support. Very happy with the treatment my mother has received for a very difficult-to-manage condition. She is always treated with dignity and the utmost care. The staff are very kind and supportive and are always on
hand to help with visits if needed. The facilities are very good with plenty of organised activities. A big thank you to the Five Rivers team for everything you do.

My experience has been top-notch, all staff are really friendly and helpful. The management team are outstanding, any concern I have is dealt with promptly, I am treated with so much respect and consideration and staff and management have a laugh with me. I have also made good friends and I feel more

Dad has just moved to Five Rivers and the team have made him very welcome. They have taken the to really get to know us and Dad and allow him to be himself. They allow Dad the freedom to be as independent as he can be while making sure he is happy and healthy and all his needs are met. Dad has settled

Beautifully situated quiet care home. Lovely, well-appointed light room with ensuite wet room. Lift access is very good, efficient and clean reception areas. Felt like a hotel and we were given a warm and friendly greeting by the management and staff. This was everything we needed after a traumatic

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.
