The accommodation is beautifully decorated making it feel like a home from home. It feels like a safe and well thought out environment where residents are comfortable and safe. I am proud to show both my extended family and my mums visiting friends around.Daughter of Resident, Riverdale Care Home

Daily activities are organised as an integral part of supporting the residents to stimulate their social, physical and mental well-being and is inclusive regardless of ability which helps reduce the feeling of loneliness. Residents are encouraged to join in and are provided just the right support that builds confidence. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff at Riverdale. Any request made to help and assist is always met with enthusiasm and a smile.  Daughter of Resident, Riverdale Care Home

I came here for respite only. After a period of three weeks, I came to the conclusion that I was better off here because I had no falls and my medical care was spot on. I have full support around my care and medication and I’m very happy in how this is provided. I've had no hospital visits since my admission, this is because I receive great care and full support from the staff who are lovely and kind. I love it here; I feel relaxed, I don't have to worry about anything and everyone is down to earth. Management are very helpful and we have activities on a daily basis with lots of choice.Resident

Thank you and the wonderful team at Riverdale for your professional, intelligent and caring support that you are providing to our parents.  Our priority had always been to keep Mum and Dad together, in the same rooms, however, after seeing how well Dad looked today in a separate room and how he seemed far more engaged with and interested in his surroundings it really does seem a good idea to give Dad some time to himself and for him to hopefully re-discover and act on his own wants and needs.Daughter of resident, Riverdale Care Home

Thank you so much for all the care, support and comfort that you gave my mother during her stay at Riverdale. You are all very special and should be proud of the good work that you do for all the residents and their families.Family Member, Riverdale Care Home

I'm sure that we made the right choice with Riverdale. We are comforted by the loving care that my mother received throughout her stay, which, I am sure, kept her well and protected for the final years and months of her life.Family member, Riverdale Care Home
