Everyone has been so kind in respect of my Dad. I can't thank you all enough. Thanks so much.
28 January 2026
Our experience of our dad's stay at River Court in Watford has been very positive. Any initial problems were promptly addressed. The service and care to attention was excellent. I have found all the staff to be both very polite and friendly. The management team of Owai & Cynthia have been first
class. Always very responsive to any requests. Very prompt & professional.

The staff at River Court Care Home are lovely. They treated my mother in law who died 2 weeks ago. My mother in law loved all of the staff and especially had a soft spot for Prabhu and Jair. I wish I could remember the other staff's name. Thank you all for looked after my mother in law so well in
her last few months.

We have 2 residents with you in Colne House both my wife and myself are very appreciative of the care that is shown, and the respect given to both. There is always something going on and they make all the activities inclusive for each individual. Everyone of the staff are always polite, helpful and
positive.

My dad has been living at Chess House for several years now, and I can honestly say it has been the best possible place for him. From the very beginning, the care and kindness shown by everyone has been exceptional. Under Maggie's thoughtful and compassionate leadership, the carers go above and
beyond every single day.
What makes Chess House so special is not just the professional care, but the warmth and genuine affection the staff show. They treat my dad like family, and they have taken the time to get to know all of us too - they know every member of our family by name, and that personal touch means the world. Whenever I visit, I feel welcomed, included, and reassured that my dad is surrounded by people who truly care about. It gives me so much peace of mind to know he is safe, comfortable, and valued in such a loving environment.
I would recommend Chess House wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be looked after with dignity and respect.

I have been here 5 years. Came during covid lockdown due to complications with covid left me unable to put pressure on foot for 6 months, after which I could not walk. I find the care received here exemplary, nothing is too much trouble from nurses, care staff, activities staff, laundry and cleaning
and kitchen staff. They are all kind and helpful, my personal care is well looked after. If something I won't eat on the menu, chef will make alternative. I would highly recommend River Court for short or long term care.

The staff and carers in Hampermill go above and beyond. The care they give to the residents is second to none.
My dad was always clean, happy, well fed and entertained by the carers and staff.
They were all very friendly to us as a family and I felt confident that when we weren't there, he was
being very well looked after. Thank you to all the Hampermill staff.
