"I have always been impressed with the quality of the care/nursing staff at Rivermead nursing home. They deal with the most challenging of care needs and treat everyone with courtesy and respect. Tonight I have been sitting with my very ill Mum in law and witnessed the night team at work. These ladies came on at 8pm. It's now past 1 am and I haven't seen them sit down once! They have checked in on us four times, changed and turned my mum in law twice. Every room has been checked regularly and they have responded to at least four alarms. Every Person has been treated with care and respect. Nursing homes can never be as perfect as you would want for you mum or dad but with cares like these Rivermead is probably as good as it gets for dementia suffers."

"The staff at the care home seem to care for my mother in law and look after her as well as they can. Sometimes she can be cantankerous, so she is not always easy to help, but they seem to calm her down."

"My mum is very well cared for. All the staff are very good at their jobs. Genuinely fond of mum, even when she is fractious with them, cannot fault them. They always ring if need to and also show us details of injuries she has received due to falls she has, which is very reassuring to us as a family. All in all, her care is excellent. My husband and myself are also treated with great kindness, whenever we visit."

"My mother has been a resident at Rivermead since June 2016. Her needs are complex, including severe dementia caused by brain damage, resulting in intermittent challenging behaviour. The care has been exemplary throughout, I'm totally reassured that she is looked after with compassion and skill. The staff have always been fully involved, very approachable and have supported me recently with issues arising from external agencies. The environment is always clean with stimulating images and artefacts throughout the communal areas. Even during difficult periods, her personal care, hair and hygiene are good. Rivermead has been our lifeline - I can't envisage my mother's life elsewhere."

"My wife is well accepted here, all the staff help her. The food is very good and I have been made very welcome to have my lunch here with her, it is very good. I would certainly recommend it to people to bring any member of the family requiring the service and help."

"Rivermead is an excellent care home.My father has advanced dementia and the staff are so caring and strive to give the best possible attention to all residents and treat them with dignity and respect. The home itself is a lovely, homely building with the residential rooms set in a square around a central lounge and dining area in memory lane (dementia Unit). This is reassuring from a safety perspective. The carers and nursing team are attentive and spot any issues without delay."

"My dad who is 95 has been a resident of Rivermead Care Home for nearly three years. During this time he has been cared for by experienced friendly nursing staff. He is very well fed, the food is excellent and caters for lack of teeth! The entertainments are very good but could do with a bit more for the gentlemen. Outings are every week,m very varied and entertaining. Dad grows tomatoes in the greenhouse as this is something he has always done and keeps him interested in the garden. All in all, I think Rivermead Care Home is very well run and the residents are well looked after."

"I have been at Rivermead for over a year while my husband has been unwell. It feels like home, all staff are caring and friendly. I go on trips with activities regularly and have been shopping, out for coffee trips and the lavender farm."

"The staff are friendly and helpful. The area itself is good for the residents to go outside and take a walk. The care home is always clean and tidy. Big sitting area and relaxing areas. The gardens are lovely, could imagine residents would love it in the summer. I've experienced seeing the live music within the care home, the activities too. There's always something going on and it seems the residents enjoy the activities etc."

"I was so worried about leaving my husband for a week in a care home. But after seeing for myself the care and attention that is given to each resident, my mind was made up that this was the home for my husband. Thanks to all the staff at Rivermead who made my husbands stay so worth while."

"My Nana spent her last days amongst some amazing staff that gave their all, every day and night at Rivermead Care Home. The care and support offered to us as a family was incredible and we will always be grateful to all of the staff for going above and beyond their role to make us all feel comfortable and well looked after. The room and facilities were excellent. The food was fantastic and my Nana was treated with dignity from the moment she arrived to the moment she left. I would highly recommend Rivermead Care Home and all of the staff. Overall a caring, spotlessly clean and well managed nursing home. A big thank you to all on Memory Lane xx"

"My father was admitted to Rivermead from another care home. He had been deteriorating physically and mentally and appeared to have given up on life, refusing to be showered, to eat or get out of bed. Within 10 days at Rivermead he was a different man. Allowed help with personal care, he is now clean, dressed, clean shaven and up and about for a while each day. He appears calm, happy, settled and is eating really well. I cannot thank the team at Rivermead enough for their care of my father. I am so pleased we made this move. His quality of life has improved tremendously."
