Rider House is extremely well run and all the staff are lovely, friendly and very caring. They go above and beyond in caring for mum. She feels safe and well looked after, which is all we ask for, but we feel totally comfortable that mum is being looked after and kept busy with activities that have
definitely helped with her dementia. Thank you to you all.

Mum was welcomed at Rider House after a dreadful few days at another care home.
Whilst mum was only at Rider House for a short time due to her progression of her illness she was treated with respect and dignity by the whole team.
The team kept mum as comfortable as they could. We were made to feel
welcome and were also treated with care and compassion. It was a lovely touch when the staff lined the road as the funeral procession drove past on mum’s final journey.
Thank you to the manager and her wonderful team.

As a family we could not be more impressed with the care mum has received at Rider House. Mum moved from another care home to be closer to us and it was the best decision we ever made. Mum looks the healthiest she has ever been over the last few years, loves the food and put on weight. Lovely home
cooked food and cakes and puddings to die for. Mum is beautifully dressed, hair always tidy and nails polished, just like mum was at home. She has made friends with other residents and the lovely staff, especially Amanda who has helped us navigate funding and assessments - she has so much time for everyone - 1st class home.

After a very traumatic stay at another care home, mum was thankfully transferred to Rider. From the very beginning of mums final journey, we were made to feel very welcome and looked after. The kindness and love shown by the manager and all staff was outstanding. Sadly mum died 15 days after her 88
birthday. The staff, although very busy, found time to be kind. They just need to be able to spend a little time to sit and breath and relax with the residents. During mums stay I tried to be with her at lunch times to help as much as I could and saw how the staff were at dinner times which was good. Talking to residents whilst feeding is so important. The manager and all staff need a very big pat on the back for the care and kindness they deliver. They need to keep doing what they do best and treat residents as family. They do, however need another lift for residents upstairs.

A very pleasant place to visit, staff are always very helpful, CJ is always very happy and content. Everywhere is clean and tidy and operational. If ever I have to go into a home this is the one I would choose.

The care by everyone is absolutely first class its a lovely family feeling and atmosphere where we feel totally relaxed but we know there is someone to ask if we've got any concerns at all. The home itself is immaculate again testament to all concerned.

All communication with Rider House has been excellent, prompt and clear. Residents are treated with dignity and respect and all of the team are helpful and have a very positive attitude, we are being cared for and welcomed as a family which is very reassuring. Excellent hygiene standards throughout.
Hands on management with clear focus on resident needs. All promises have been kept and nothing is too much trouble for the hard working team. We feel very supported at a difficult time and are very grateful to everyone at Rider House.

Every time I visit my mum which isnt as often as I would like as I dont live nearby. I am always met by friendly, helpful staff who's kindness and care is shown throughout their dealings with the residents and their colleagues. I am always impressed with all services supplied and I gain extra
insight when im not visiting, through Rider House's Facebook page. I look forward to seeing what the residents are up to and take delight seeing the end results of their activities. Amanda, the manager, as well as the other staff will always take time out if I have any questions and never make me feel that I am taking up their time. I am so impressed with the working relationships betweem the staff, residents and families and its a joy to see my mum so settled, relaxed and happy within this environment which is now her home #1stclass #ahappyplace

I have come here from hospital after breaking 6 ribs.
The staff are all very patient and kind. The food is very good. Homemade and delicious.
I have a large room with an ensuite, overlooking a garden.
Rider house is ideal for recuperating from an injury or operation in my opinion.

I have seen the care staff going out of their way to make mum and the other residents comfortable and contented.
A lot of effort is put into her food & drink intake with good meals and snacks. She has eaten better since being here.
I am reassured that she is in safe hands.

Could not thank the wonderful staff at Rider House Nursing Home for how they cared for my father-in-law.
Although he only had a short stay they made him welcome they were friendly efficient and nothing was too much trouble. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to be cared for.
Staff and
management went above and beyond.
Highly recommended.

Everyone is very good, kind and helpful. Cleanliness is excellent, they even wash the floor every day. And the laundry is excellent if I put something out in the morning it comes back the same day. They come quickly when you press the button.

Rider House provides a warm, safe, caring environment for the residents. The carers are respectful and kind, with a lovely sense of fun.
My Mum hasn’t been the easiest of residents but Rider House (and particularly the manager) have been very patient in settling her in and making her feel at home.
We are very happy with the care she receives.

Most importantly is the care and kindness shown by the staff. Nursing care has always been of a professional standard. The room occupied by my brother is small and basic but clean and well-kept.
05 January 2024
Rider House took my sister in as an emergency. I was apprehensive at first as my sister has complex needs. It was easy to see that the home is well-run and has a lovely atmosphere. Staff are very welcoming and so caring in the way my sister has been looked after. I have no hesitation in recommending
this wonderful home. We hope to see them all again in the not-too-distant future.
