About Riverdale Court

Riverdale Court is a residential care home in Welling, Bexley. We support older people and younger adults, including residents living with dementia, adults who have a learning disability and autistic adults, and we offer respite stays for shorter periods. With residents of different ages and very different needs living together, we plan support person by person rather than running the house on one timetable. We help with personal care, meals, medication and appointments, and we support people to keep up the interests, activities and friendships that make a week feel like their own. Where someone manages something themselves, we protect that and stay nearby rather than stepping in. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not content with that. We have reviewed how we assess and record residents' needs, how we train and supervise our staff and how quickly we act when a resident or a relative raises a concern, and we have treated the findings as a working list rather than a verdict. Progress of that kind shows up slowly and in small things, which is why we would encourage anyone considering Riverdale Court to visit, look around properly and ask us direct questions about what has changed and what is still in hand.
