Care shaped around you

When considering care for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to find a place that values you for the unique person that you are. At Barchester, our dedicated teams seek to understand more than care needs. We get to know each person’s life story, passions and preferences to shape their care, support and experiences.

Meaningful moments

We believe it’s important to find joy, purpose and fulfilment in each day, whatever that looks like for you. Whether it’s enjoying your favourite hobby, joining a group activity or being supported to try something new, we’re always finding ways to nourish the mind, body and soul. With close connections with our local communities we’re able to bring the outside in, as well as planning regular trips to places of local interest.

Rivermead Care Home

The staff at Rivermead are exceptionally kind and do everything they can to support us as a family. Of particular note have been Carlin, who brings joy and humour to my father’s life, and Clare K, who has supported and guided us through the FNC/CHC process, and has given a significant amount of time to putting a thorough and meticulous care plan in place that reflects my father’s needs.
