Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum came to stay at Riverside Lodge (initially for respite) at the end of April this year. This is her first care review after feeling understandably apprehensive about the move. Mum has settled in extremely well.
Key factors have been:
Friendly, caring attitude of staff - Mum feels 'safe' and supported.
Staff
members are approachable and willing to problem-solve any minor issues that may occur.
Good quality facilities - Mum has a comfortable room.
Shared areas are well presented and provide space for visitors.
Establishment of friendships with other residents - sharing a wide range of activities.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear your mum has settled in well, feels safe and supported, and is enjoying the friendships, environment and activities at Riverside Lodge. Your kind words will mean a great deal to the team.

Mum has been a resident at Riverside Lodge for a while now. She made the decision to stay after respite care. Things have been amazing giving her a new lease of life. This month she was extremely poorly and was admitted to hospital. When she finally returned we thought it wouldn't be for long. Incredibly,
with the hard work and dedication of all the staff she is eating again and joining in with all the activities she enjoys. They work so well as a team and know the residents needs and requirements inside out. Thanks to them we as a family are seeing our mum return. Thank you everyone at Riverside Lodge
Reply from John Joannides, Corporate Services and PR Project Administrator at Riverside Lodge

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so happy that your mum is doing so well after returning from her hospital stay and that she's eating well and re-engaging with the activities in the home. Receiving reviews like this means the world to everyone at Riverside Lodge and at Quantum Care.

After an illness my stepfather moved to Riverside Lodge for respite. He was so happy and impressed with the level of care and facilities that he decided to move in permanently. He has been there 2 weeks and he has improved so much - he is being looked after, cleaned and cared for, which has put our
minds at rest. Riverside opened January 2024 and the facilities are outstanding as are the staff. There are dining rooms on all the floors if residents choose to eat there or alternatively they can eat in their room. The rooms are ample size with an en suite wet room and toilet. The Swan Cafe on the ground floor is a nice meeting point for relatives to sit with their loved one. This is an area that is used for the activities - Mothers Day lunch, singalongs, quizzes and other activities. There is a cinema room on the ground floor with popcorn and ice cream. The staff go above and beyond and are really friendly and we feel very reassured that our relative has decided to stay.

It's wonderful to hear that your stepfather has settled in so well at Riverside Lodge and that his decision to stay permanently has brought such peace of mind to you and your family.

Your kind words about our team and their dedication really mean a lot to us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Went in for respite care following care for short spell at home followed by necessary care at Care Home. I received kindness I had forgotten existed by staff members whilst there.
I was given personal attention in my room and the dining room. The staff were always willing to escort me to the Dining
Room although it was not always necessary. When I had a guest the staff would immediately bring to my room a tray of coffee, etc.
The food was excellent and the rooms very comfortable with a comfortable armchair, well appointed wet room and the staff always willing to help.
There was a TV which was accessible to watch.
The rooms were nicely decorated and comfortable. My view was pleasant overlooking the local Church.
There was a comfortable seating area as an extension of the dining area where I could look out at the water park. The staff were always ready to bring a cup of tea/coffee.
The kindness of the staff was incredible, helping me and listening to me when I was upset.

My grandma has been residing at Riverside Lodge for a few weeks. The staff have all been kind and patient, which has helped her settle in. She has also been able to participate in gardening activities which is very important to her. Overall she is much happier at Riverside than she was at two previous
care homes, one local and another in further away. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home for your relatives.

My dad has been a respite resident for the last couple of months following a lengthy stay at hospital, where he lost his confidence in his mobility. The environment has been great for him in terms of transitioning back to a more 'normal' life. The facilities and activities that have been open to him,
have really helped to build his confidence.
His room is clean and airy and its great it has direct access to outside. The lounge has been a great hub of social activity though it has been disappointing for the last few weeks that there has been no TV which is often the vehicle to bring the residents together, but this was minor and it hasn't detracted from the overall experience. Dad has really loved the use of other facilities such as the cinema room. Overall the staff have been really excellent, supportive and caring, and made residents, visitors and relatives feel welcome and safe.
Reply from Debbie Gilard, Head of Corporate Services at Riverside Lodge

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your dad's stay with us has been a positive step in his recovery and that our environment has supported him in regaining his confidence. It's wonderful to know he's enjoyed his room, the access to outdoor space, and the range of activities and facilities, particularly the cinema room. We're especially grateful for your kind words about our team. Thank you also for highlighting the issue with the TV in the lounge. We completely understand how important these shared moments are for residents, and we're sorry for the inconvenience. Please rest assured this has been addressed. We're delighted your dad has had such a positive experience with us, and we wish him all the best in his continued recovery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum recently visited Riverside Lodge for a 3 week respite stay, having just come out of hospital and while family members were away on holiday. Mum has had respite stays in 2 other care homes in the last 12 months and she definitely preferred Riverside Lodge, as did we. The care home is brand new
so the environment and facilities are first class as you would expect, but most important was the friendliness and care provided by the staff - Mum said that nothing was too much trouble. She also enjoyed the range of activities on offer, and we felt that the layout of the home (with a lounge / dining room and dedicated care team on each floor) made it a more personal experience. Mum also made friends with several other residents while she was there. Riverside Lodge will be our first choice whenever Mum needs further care home stays in future.
Reply from Debbie Gilard, Head of Corporate Services at Riverside Lodge

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're so pleased to hear that your Mum enjoyed her respite stay and that Riverside Lodge stood out positively compared to other homes. While we're proud of our modern facilities, we truly believe that it's the warmth, attentiveness and personal touches from our team that truly make the difference. It's lovely to hear she made new friends and enjoyed the activities, too. We'd be delighted to welcome her back whenever she needs us in the future.

Cannot thank Riverside enough for the care and support they provide to my mother in law.
The staff are caring helpful and kind and nothing is too much trouble if she wants to do something other residents don't eg visit to the supermarket for some flowers.
The home is spotlessly clean, there is a friendly
atmosphere and numerous activities and entertainment provided which are fun and stimulating for residents.
Meals look lovely and there is always food available for residents and there families alike.
The lodge have allowed a huge weight to be lifted from our shoulders and we can rest in the knowledge that she is safe, looked after and eating nutritious food regularly and always treated with dignity and respect by all members of staff.
Thank you

My mother I must say was not happy with going into a 'home' but quite honestly it's more like a hotel. She has settle very well and has enjoyed interaction with the other residents . From a personal point of view I feel at ease knowing that my mother is being well cared for in an environment that
she enjoys . The staff are very upbeat and cheerful. They welcome the family when visiting and actually it is like a large family . The rooms are very light and spacious with good size shower rooms on suite . Riverside Lodge is a very pleasant place to visit with a cinema room and again feels like a hotel. Many places for the elderly do not have the ambience that Riverside Lodge has. If anyone is looking for a residential home for an elderly relative I would recommend they visit Riverside Lodge Rickmansworth..

Riverside lodge staff have always presented as caring capable and responsive to the needs of my mother. They have taken time to find out about her and her needs and interests. They are aware of her wishes to be as independent as possible. She has significant visual issues and has very little eye sight.
Staff manage the risk related to her blindness with sensitivity allowing her to garden and socialise. She presents as happy and settled. I could not ask for more from a care home

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was absent when Dad urgently needed a place at a care home (at the advice of his palliative team). Riverside Lodge found him a room at very short notice, smoothing the way for my sisters (who had to manage the situation). His stay at Riverside turned out to be very short, but as his health rapidly
deteriorated the staff kept him and the family very comfortable - they were welcoming and compassionate, and (as reported by my sisters) even provided regular supplies of tea, cakes and snacks as they waited by Dad's bedside. A bonus was being able to hear the bells that Dad would have heard from his childhood home. Altogether, the experience could hardly have been better at a very emotional time.
I have visited the home a couple of times myself, but not while Dad was there. Consequently, I cannot really give ratings for some of the categories. I have rated these as "satisfactory".

My elderly aunt had a fall which affected her confidence and mobility. She spent a week at the care home which helped her literally find her feet and rebuild her confidence. The facility is very clean and has a nice homely feel and is perfectly located being so close to the town centre. The staff were
amazing and looked after my aunt, who can be difficult, with huge professional pride. I would highly recommend this home to others.

My wife has been in Riverside Lodge since March. We looked at several care homes in the area before making our final choice, and four months later we are sure we made the right choice. Being a new purpose-built care home the residents enjoy the many benefits it offers. On our first visit, we were immediately
impressed by the entrance which leads into a welcoming lounge, comfortable light and tastefully decorated. The rest of the Riverside is similarly appointed.
After the initial settling-in process, my wife has settled down very well and even she says, we made the right choice, she is especially complimentary about the food with she enjoys. The staff from reception to all the nursing staff are charming and nothing is too much trouble for them.

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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 31 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.

I started my caring journey as a Care Assistant in a nursing home around eight years ago. I gained experience as a Senior Care Assistant, Nursing Assistant, Night Manager and Home Manager.

My role is to support my team in a way they feel safe and happy to provide the highest standards of care and quality of life to our residents.

Job Title: Deputy Home Manager

The Deputy Home Manager shares responsibility with the Home Manager for running the home. Deputy Managers will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Home Managers are capable and driven to provide the best of everything for their residents.
