About Riversway Nursing Home

Riversway Nursing Home is a nursing home in Bristol caring for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia or mental health conditions, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Having registered nurses on site at all hours means complex health needs can be looked after here rather than through repeated hospital admissions. Wound care, diabetes, catheters, pain relief and care at the end of life are managed calmly by a team who know the resident, working alongside GPs, district nurses and specialist palliative colleagues. Because the people who live here have quite different needs and ages, we plan around individuals rather than running everything to one pattern. Residents decide when to get up, what to eat and how to spend the day, and rooms belong to the people living in them. For residents living with dementia we keep routines and faces as consistent as we can and respond to the feeling behind what someone is telling us. For residents with physical disabilities or sensory loss, the right equipment and sensible adjustments are what make independence possible. Families are welcome and we would rather hear a concern early than late. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and look round.
