Activities at Rivermead Care Home

We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered programme of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends. The home also has its very own minibus for our numerous outings for coffee and shopping, which residents love.

National Ice Cream Day

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a sing-along to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.

Celebrating 10-years service

Today, we celebrated our wonderful kitchen assistant Lydia who has officially worked at Rivermead for 10 years!

Lydia is a valued member of kitchen staff and works alongside Sarah and Graeme to ensure the kitchen runs smoothly and the residents are well fed and watered! Lydia always finishes her work to a high standard and that is valued to us here.

Our general manager Sarah presented Lydia with a gorgeous bunch of flowers, a 10 year badge and a voucher.

We would like to thank Lydia for her service and commitment to us at Rivermead

Making dreams a reality

Here at Rivermead we like to make dreams come true and yesterday, one of our residents Micks dreams came true when he watched his grandson get married. It was quite possibly one of the most heartwarming things Rivermead has witnessed, so much time, thought and effort went into getting Mick there and getting him suited and booted for the occasion.

A dogs life

Across of homes residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.

Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.

Home is where happiness is

We truely believe one of the most important things about being in a care home is you feel like it is a home away from home. We encourage residents to make their rooms as homely as possible and we aim to make the atmosphere one that you would have at home.

We think the smiles on these residents faces shows how happy they are at Rivermead and the amazing work our staff put in day in and day out to make our residents experience a memorable one.
