Very friendly staff look like they care a lot for their residents, and dealing with admin is easy. My Mum is not really settled, but thinks this is due to her and the dementia. Nice room with a lovely view of the garden, always clean, even though my mum keeps blocking the toilet, I feel the staff and maintenance people do their best.

My mum has been in Rievaulx House for over 7 years now, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The care and consideration shown to her and to meet her needs is fantastic. They communicate really well and nothing seems too much trouble. I'm so grateful to all the staff there who have such a challenging job, especially upstairs in the dementia unit where my mum is. What a wonderful group of people! Thank you!

I have experience with Rievaulx House since 2021. In the first instance my Uncle with living there. I had had to move him from another care home so when he arrived due to his dementia he was unsettled and agitated.The staff were amazing, they cared for him, settled him down and in no time at all had him settled and laughing again. His health as well as his mental ability improved and he was so happy. Sadly he passed in February of this year.There was no hesitation when l asked if he could return from hospital to pass in his own environment and once again the staff were amazing, The love and the care they showed him was above and beyond and the love and support given to me was so appreciated at such a difficult time. At the same time as this was going on, my Auntie was having a number of falls so l asked if she could go in the first instance for respite. She loves it. She settled within day, has a lovely room loves her meals (she is now eating and putting on weight) and now staying.

We are very happy with the care Mum receives. The staff are just lovely with her and she is happy and settled which is of such importance to us. As Mum is now 100yrs old we feel we can rely on the extra special care she sometimes needs. It is good to note that she is encouraged to use her walker instead of relying on a wheelchair

This is an amazing place for my lovely little grandad, he gets very well looked after and I couldn't be more happier! Also thank you to one member of staff, in particular, making sure he's always got his meds, the rooms are spacious and they've got beautiful garden for him to relax in.

Good home to leave my mother in the care of. Staff always helpful and friendly. Mum would probably benefit from more activities but appreciate all that you do for her. Occasionally found staffing a bit short which make it difficult to ensure a member of staff is present at all times but we have had no issues and understand it's very short periods. Generally very pleased with everything.

It took a while for my mother to settle in, but now she is very happy. She enjoys the food and activities and is always clean and well-kept. Staff are welcoming to visitors.

All of the staff have been incredible at looking after my grandma. They are very friendly, sociable, and caring and they even went above and beyond when I took my little boy to visit. A big Thank you!

Mum is always well cared for and happy. She joins in the activities and goes on trips for lunch. She calls the residents and staff her family. There is a lovely garden to sit in when the weather allows.

I would just like to say thank you to all the care staff and caterers. You all made my mum feel so very special, loved and wanted on her birthday. You always do but made her feel so very much loved. As a family we appreciate all the work you do and we would like to say thank you.

My mother was a resident of Rievaulx House for over a year. Although she missed living in her own flat she settled in well and was very happy with the level of care that she received and the way she was treated. The carers and other support staff were very kind to her and she always enjoyed a joke with them. Initially, she was upstairs but we requested a move downstairs and she was happier as she could sit outside in the garden. She enjoyed doing the crafts with a particular member of staff who works very hard to entertain the residents. The lounge was always trimmed up to fit occasions and my mam appreciated this. As a family, we are very happy with the level of care and kindness that she received and we always found the staff nice and friendly when we visited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rievaulx House to anybody who were looking for somewhere for a loved one to be looked after.

The manager and staff are and were very helpful when I asked them for something relating to my brother and my mum and another care home. They were very helpful.

Carers are lovely, residents love the staff and I think they are very welcoming. When I first came in, the lounge was sticky, it was cleaned up shortly after. I do understand the staff can be really busy but the lounge is very unclean. The resident's room is great, it's got everything he needs.

Always had a good impression of the facility when I've visited. Staff are always friendly and obliging upon meeting despite working under difficult conditions and hours sometimes. The resident has settled in now and is well cared for which is all we can ask.

Overall, everything is good, except the carpets, the one in my mother-in-law's room is filthy and stained really badly. I know the cleaning staff go in and do their best to clean it, I've seen them, but it's way past being able to be cleaned and has been that way since she moved into that room, it also bothers her.

My dad is currently at Rievaulx House. He’s okay and still does a lot for himself. There are some really good staff members here. My dad has regular visits from our family, he sees at least one of us every day. The only thing I would like for him is if he could move downstairs, so he could go out more often. The only concern I have is sometimes I feel like if I don't check my dad for things like cellulitis it goes undiscovered. I’d like to thank the good staff for their hard work, as caring for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s is hard, but also rewarding.

I have been at Rievaux House for about 4 weeks. I have settled really well with help from staff and family. Staff are friendly and welcoming and reassuring for me. The staff are patient and supportive.
