Testimonials

Mum was welcomed warmly as she entered her new home, each and every one of the staff are compassionate, thoughtful and nothing is too much trouble for residents and visitors alike. Extremely happy with our choice.

Riverside Court has provided a wonderful home for my mum. I was very worried how she would manage the move from her own flat, as she has dementia and is deaf, with a cochlear implant. However I couldn't have been happier to see how she immediately settled into Riverside.
All the residents are treated as individuals and she receives excellent, personalised care from all the kind, thoughtful and smiling staff, who also go out of their way to make life enjoyable for everyone.
I can visit at any time and when I do there is always a lovely homely atmosphere, with the residents always very relaxed and smiling. My mum is content, and after trips out is always keen to return to Riverside.

Although only a resident for a few months, my family and I were very impressed with the care that my mother received. Her room was spotless, the staff were efficient and kind, the food very good and the comfort and well-being were of paramount importance. When she became more difficult towards the end of her life the compassion shown was remarkable.

I have used Riverside Court four times over the last two years for respite for my mother. My mother loves her own home but has thoroughly enjoyed her four (holidays) in Riverside. The care and friendliness of all the staff are second to none. Games, trips out for ice cream, along with lots of fun with other residents. The owners have a home to be proud of.

My Mother-in-Law has been a resident at Riverside for over three years and we are very pleased with the care she has received over that period. The home is warm, friendly and caring, which we feel is largely due to the fact that it is family-run and not part of a larger more impersonal corporate group.
The regular staff are happy, helpful and friendly.

This should be the gold standard for care! We are so lucky to have found Riverside Court. I was told about it by someone whose mother had been happy there. My mother is so happy and settled.

I cannot thank them enough. It is a kind, friendly, relaxed place - Will get my name down!

iverside Court is a very friendly care home with a calm and caring atmosphere. The staff are very kind and try hard to make everyone feel they are at home there.

My mum has been well cared for by the wonderful staff at Riverside Court, The home offer choices which I feel is rare in some of the other homes we looked at before choosing Riverside Court. Mums room looked over the river and the bridge and Mum often would sit in her room by the window waving at the passers by. The staff are caring and have time for the residents. Well done and Thank you Riverside.

I have been most impressed with Riverside Court. My father is very content with his room. The staff are very caring and patient and reacted very well on the two occasions my father fell. When I visit him at lunchtime, I am offered lunch is a separate area which is private and out of the dining room. The food is excellent. I cannot recommend the staff more highly. The atmosphere is calm and happy. In my opinion, Riverside Court is an outstanding care home that is well managed and that delivers excellent care.

A care home with a friendly, relaxed homely feel. The carers are gentle and treat the residents with respect. They spend time with the individual residents and you can see that the residents like and trust the staff.
The home has a very happy atmosphere which is not always the case in residential homes. I would definitely recommend it.

The care and attention provided by the staff was exceptional, professional and ensures her dignity until her death.
At all times the staff were extremely helpful, understanding and considerate to her wishes and to all members of her family.
Despite the complexity and variety of people they care for, they always managed to remain cheerful and spend time with our Mum who really enjoyed her time in the home and the staff became a part of her extended family.
Cannot thank the staff enough they were just amazing and caring people.

My mum spent her last four years at the home and I couldn't be more pleased that she was here. The staff were truly excellent, so very caring and always happy to help. Mum was very happy with her beautiful room overlooking the lovely gardens and river. At the end of her life, a hospital bed was delivered to the home and she was so very well cared for. The night staff were truly excellent as I and my sister were able to stay in the room with her. When Mum finally died the staff, with so much dignity, washed and changed her. I stayed and could see how much care and consideration they gave her. When my mum was laying peacefully we ) were able to stay by her till the funeral directors arrived. I cannot stress how wonderful Mums end of life was.

When I went to visit a member of my congregation I was most impressed by the atmosphere and care I witnessed. The word "Home" accurately describes Riverside.

Boroughbridge Residential Home Is a Shining Example' I am writing to express my observations and feelings on, Riverside Court. My mother spent the last eight months of her life there. Speaking as a trained nurse and midwife and having worked extensively in several nursing homes I would have been quick to criticise should the need arise. On the contrary I cannot fault the way in which my mother was dealt with. Staff were unfailingly good to her, mixing compassion with common sense. The owners are 'hands on' and of course the impetus on the rest of the staff comes from them.
