Our Family Caring for Yours

At Riverside Care Centre, we recognise that everyone is different, which is why we have a person-centred approach to everything we do. Expert care and support is on hand if and when needed, helping people achieve the level of independence that is right for them.

We pride ourselves in maintaining a caring partnership, which is why care plans are written with the input of each resident, their family members and any other relevant healthcare professionals. It is this collaborative approach that makes living at Riverside so enjoyable.

We understand that making the decision to join Riverside Care Centre can be a time of great worry and change for residents and their families and we want to do what we can to reassure and support. It’s our promise to you that a member of our team will be available to guide you through the whole process, from initial enquiry to settling into your new home.

Our primary focus is to encourage independence and to promote self-esteem. Individuals staying with us are given the freedom and support to make their own life choices and decisions so that they can lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

We provide 24-hour specialist care and support for people over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of:

Empowering achievements with tailored support

Each person we support has a detailed care plan, which is comprehensively reviewed and updated on a regular basis ensuring our approach is relevant and is based around each person’s individual needs and goals.

Our team views Riverside as a community of individuals who are supported to learn key skills while receiving encouragement to participate in meaningful activities, education and where possible, employment.

We thrive on helping people do the things they love most, from supporting a houseplant enthusiast to nurture an impressive collection, to turning one person’s love of cars and motorbikes into a stunning memorabilia wall.

Collectively, we work hard to promote respect and dignity and to prevent people from becoming socially isolated within the home.

Skills for life

Independence is important both within and outside of the centre, which is why we assign key workers so residents can enjoy activities such as trips to local events, going bowling, going to the theatre or even going on holiday. Activities are centred around individual tastes and preferences and are always arranged with safety as a priority.

We support each person to develop key skills needed to undertake everyday tasks such as shopping, cooking and dealing with money. We also help our residents to learn coping strategies to help them live with or overcome the challenges posed by their illness or condition.
