About Riverside Court

Riverside Court is a residential care home in North Yorkshire, providing personal care and support for people who need help with daily living. Details of the most recent CQC inspection are set out below.

Riverside Court provides personal care and support for people living at the home, including those needing assistance with daily living. The CQC rated the service Requires Improvement overall, finding breaches relating to visiting arrangements, safe management of medicines, and governance. Restrictions on visitors at mealtimes and gaps in oversight meant concerns had not always been picked up by the service itself.

Despite this, people spoke highly of staff and felt safe, with positive feedback about the registered manager. Care needs were assessed and reviewed regularly, and people had good access to healthcare professionals. Feedback on food and staffing levels was mixed, though inspectors found the service took prompt action to address the issues identified.

Staff were recruited safely. People’s needs were assessed and regularly reviewed. Staff understood their safeguarding responsibilities. People had access to a range of healthcare professionals.
