A private carol service was held at Riverside this week, led by our activities team. Residents participated joining in to sing carols and listen to readings from bible passages. This brought many residents together and allowed them to enjoy Christmas cheer. Those who were unfortunately unable to attend did not miss out, they had a visit from carol singers who sang outside their rooms, requests and favourites were accepted.

Thank you so very much for all you did for Mum. You took such great care of her and we are so grateful to you all.
My husband has been in Riverside Nursing Home in Sherborne for five months now. He took a few weeks to settle down in his new surroundings at first but now has got to know the Staff. The Nurses, Carers, the Chef, all have been so kind, respectful, most of all understanding the needs of not only the residents but their families. Only recently we enjoyed an outing to Weymouth organised by the Activities Co-ordinator. Matron Judith Maidment waved us off as our special coach left Riverside. Thank you all
I wanted to thank you and all your staff for the care and kindness you showed my father during his final weeks and days with you. I can honestly say that it felt that you had all become part of the family.
The kindness you all showed us as a family meant so much in such sad and stressful times. Thank you
My family and friends will not forget the kindness, caring, love and support you gave to all of us from the minute T arrived at Riverside.
Words are never enough sometimes, but the hugs, smiles and laughs worked every time. In other words 'you cared'.
Thank you for arranging such a very enjoyable lunch for D on his 92nd birthday.
Please thank all the staff, we will never forget you all for making P's last weeks so comfortable for him and bearable for us. You are fortunate to have such a wonderful team of caring professionals at Riverside. We cannot thank you enough.
