About The Riverside Nursing Home
The Riverside Nursing Home is a nursing home in Littleborough. We provide nursing care for older people, we support people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather put it at the start than leave it to be discovered. The inspection found things that were not good enough for the people living here. We have accepted those findings and we are working through them. Anyone considering the home should ask precisely what was identified and precisely what has changed since, and should press if the answer sounds general. Alongside that work, the daily business continues. Nurses are on duty at all hours, so medication, skin care, nutrition and pain are managed on site and changes in health are noticed by people who know how somebody normally is. For those living with dementia we keep routines and faces as steady as we can. Please visit before you decide anything. Read the inspection report in full and form your own view.
