About Riverside Care Home
Riverside Care Home is a nursing home in Burton on Trent. We care for older people whose health needs mean qualified nurses should be on hand, including many people living with dementia, and we also support people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults with nursing needs. Having nurses here means somebody does not have to move again when their health changes, which spares a great deal of upheaval for a frail person and a great deal of worry for their family. It also lets relatives step back from coordinating appointments and treatments and go back to being family. Around the nursing, we keep life as ordinary as we can. People choose when to get up, what they eat and how they spend the day. For people living with dementia we keep routines steady and allow plenty of time, because hurrying somebody who is confused helps nobody. We also offer respite stays for families needing a break or for someone recovering after hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We treat it as a floor rather than a ceiling and keep our own checks running in between. If you are weighing up nursing care for someone close to you, come and see us. The decision is easier once you have walked round and met the people here.
