About River Meadows Nursing Home

River Meadows Nursing Home is in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. We provide nursing care for older people, including people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays. Having registered nurses on the team means we can care for people with substantial health needs and can usually continue caring for somebody as those needs increase. In a rural county, where moving to another home can mean moving away from family, that continuity is worth a great deal. We keep the home unhurried. People wake in their own time, eat what they enjoy and spend the day in company or quietly as they choose. Rooms are the residents' own space and we treat them that way. Where somebody needs help with mobility, it is given in the way that person prefers and at their pace, and we make sure the building works for people rather than against them. We work closely with GPs, community nurses and therapists so that care is joined up and problems are picked up early. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking for nursing care in or around Shrewsbury, you are welcome to visit, meet our nurses and carers and see the home on an ordinary day.
