We have been very impressed since my wife transferred to Riverdale last month. The staff are friendly and are mostly the home's own staff which is impressive. My wife's room is spotlessly clean and the furniture is very presentable. There are lots of facilities and stimulation with lots to do. My wife has been grateful for all that has been done to settle her in.

Mum is the second resident from my family to use Avante Care. My aunt in Northbourne Court for 10 years. Mum settled in straight away. You could see the smile return to her face within minutes of being in her room.

My father is staying at Riverdale Court for three weeks of respite. We were very anxious about this as he has never had respite before. I cannot be happier with the care he is receiving. All staff are welcoming and attentive. They have got to know my father very quickly and recognise all his needs. They have encouraged him to be involved in activities, and he is clearly enjoying himself. I am confident my dad is being looked after well and is happy. I would like to thank all staff at Riverdale Court for their amazing work.
Very happy with the care my Mum and Dad receive, care of all the staff is excellent.
