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.

Life at Rivermead Care Home
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.
Happy Fathers Day
We at Rivermead want to wish everybody a Happy Fathers Day. Our gentleman have been well and truly spoilt and today is all about them.
Sunshine makes us happy
We enjoyed abit of sunshine this morning before it became too hot, our lovely residents did some reading, colouring in and it was nice to enjoy the sunshine before the heavens opened on us this afternoon!
Our lovely Val wanted to remind everyone to wear their suncream and stay safe as she was making sure everyone in the garden had some on before they came outside
A trip to Castle Howards
Firstly, we would like to say a massive thank you to a wonderful, kind and thoughtful lady Sheryl Gravil for supplying us with annual passes to her and her late husbands (who we had the pleasure of caring for) favourite place.
Today we took the opportunity to use these passes and took Norman, John, Beryl and Brenda to enjoy the gardens. We had a lovely picnic, walked around the gardens and many of our residents had wonderful memories of visiting castle Howard in their younger years.
