Care and facilities at Rivermead Care Home

Rivermead is a purpose-built care home with all resident accommodation being located on the ground floor. Our grounds are beautifully landscaped and we are proud to have been divisional winners for Garden of the Year at this years Barchester Care Awards. The grounds are wheelchair accessible with stunning views.

In 2015 Rivermead had a makeover, giving us a new look which includes a coffee area for residents and families to enjoy. Should you have any queries regards the facilities within our home please contact a member of the team or see below for a list of care types and facilities we provide.

We are now using handheld digital technology called 'Enable' internally to develop, update and manage our care and life enrichment documentation for residents. We work with one of the UK’s major digital care home documentation providers and have a bespoke platform to manage documentation digitally which aligns with our wish to deliver the highest quality individual care and life enrichment. You will see our team members using hand-held devices as the care plans and life enrichment preferences will be accessed via the device on an App. This will mean that it may look like our teams are using their mobile telephones, rest assured this is not the case and all technology used in the home is there to support our residents and relatives. There are so many benefits in moving to using digital technology to care for our residents, and for the staff working at the home including improving communication and collaboration between teams, increasing accuracy of care intervention recording and becoming more environmentally friendly.
