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
Museum’s Star Exhibit
On Thursday 20th April at 2.30pm across our services we will join Meredith More, Curator at V&A Dundee, for an exciting tour of one of museum’s star exhibits, The Oak Room; an original tearoom interior designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1907/08, which is on long-term loan from the collections at Glasgow City Council. Its conservation and restoration was made possible through a collaboration between Glasgow Museums, V&A Dundee and Dundee City Council.
We will learn about the history of the room, its social context and the process of restoration that brought it back to life in 2018, having not been seen in public for almost 50 years.
The event will be available to watch via YouTube live, please contact the home for more information.
Grand National Party
Today at Rivermead, we celebrated the grand National in style!
We started the day making bunting, colouring photos of what we hoped would be our winning horses, taking part in the sweepstake and preparing the prizes for our winning residents!
We enjoyed prosecco and bitter shandy’s and lots of snacks whilst watching the race and the residents were in high spirits hoping their horse wins!
Easter Celebrations 2023
Here at Rivermead we made Chocolate Easter Nests over on our Malton Unit.
The residents decorated rice crispy nests with Chocolate eggs and smarties. Although we struggled to find Mini Eggs we still think they turned out great!
Mother's Day 2023
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS
We thought you would enjoy these wonderful photos of a few of our lovely residents with their lovely flowers they received from their families to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Our lovely mothers, grandmothers, aunties, mother figures and friends were celebrated today with thanks and appreciation given to everybody.
Fitness Fantastic at Rivermead
Today at Rivermead we tried out chair exercises to wake us up before lunch time!
We followed a fitness video that got us moving our hips, arms and legs today. Our residents did amazing with this challenging exercise to really get our blood pumping before going to eat a lovely lunch prepared by our amazing chef.
Historic Royal Palaces
Across our services, our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
