Review from John M (Father of Resident) published on 19 March 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
What I love about Rivers and the other houses in the Cream Care Group at Taunton, is the fact that it is a real home for my son. He needs 24/7 care and the Cream Care model is perfect for him. The site at Longrun Lane has four (I think) separate houses and they are all cosy and homely but with plenty of room, whilst the economies of scale enable them to run a hydrotherapy pool and other expensive facilities on site.
The staff and management are all excellent.
I can see my boy whenever I wish and if I can't get to Taunton then we Skype; he clearly loves being at Rivers. They keep him busy all the time and I can see that all the residents are treated as individuals.
The best part is that, in Rivers, almost all the other residents are late teens or twenties, just the age of my son. It's a perfect peer group for him. I hope it will be a home for life for him.
I would thoroughly recommend a Cream Care Group residential care home to any youngster who needs this care model.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
