About Riverdale Court Care Home
Riverdale Court Care Home in Pontefract provides nursing care for older people and younger adults, with qualified nurses on hand throughout the day and night. That means health needs are looked after here, by people who know the resident, rather than through repeated journeys elsewhere at short notice. We support residents living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people living with a physical disability, and people who have sight or hearing loss. Our nursing work covers medication, mobility, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort, and we watch closely for the quieter changes in appetite, mood and sleep that usually come first. For residents living with dementia we keep the day familiar, work at each person's pace and treat distress as communication rather than as behaviour to be managed. We want the place to feel domestic rather than clinical. Rooms are personalised, residents decide how their days run and how much company they want, and relatives are welcome whenever they can come. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a short period, including after a spell in hospital. If you are looking at nursing care in this area, please come and visit at an ordinary time of day and ask our nurses and residents whatever you would like to know.
