Dementia Care

The home's specialist Memory Lane Community utilises a careful blend of skills and techniques developed by leading experts in the field of dementia care, incorporating person-centred design in its use of colour and cues to help individuals navigate through the home, whilst thoughtful interior design features, such us adapted crockery and tableware assists with reminiscence. Communities are broken up into separate units with a family feel so people can feel safe and comfortable. Care is focused on independence, dignity and choice, with a person-centred approach. Staffing levels reflect the needs of residents, and people living with dementia are offered a range of activities to help preserve life skills, support interactions and retain a sense of purpose and selfhood..

Rivermead is situated in Norton, a small town near Malton. The home is purpose-built on one level, is light and airy and is set back off the main road with a sunny paved seating area to the front of the home. With stunning views to the rear, our specialised Memory Lane Community boasts two lovely secure gardens. 

Throughout the home our team of highly qualified and attentive staff focus on the individual needs of our residents, with a tailored care plan developed for each person. This dedication can be seen across the whole team, from our kitchen staff with their cooking and hospitality, to the organisation of fantastic activities and events for our residents and relatives.

We have a very loyal staff team at Rivermead with many of our team having over 10 years' service.

My Father recently moved in to Rivermead and we are delighted that he has settled so quickly and with ease and the care is very good. We were recommended the home by a friend and we are pleased with this recommendation. Food is very good and room appears to be in a newly refurbished side and is bright and airy. Wonderful team atmosphere.

My Mum in Law was cared for here during the last 10 months of her life. She had dementia and required a lot of support to achieve basic task. She was encouraged to stay as independent as possible. Her room was nice and had its own washing facility and toilet. The bed was electronically adjustable which was important during the latter stages of her life. Meals were plentiful and of great quality, these always included 2 choice of starter, mains and pudding. Activities were provided including the occasional trips out. What really makes this a five star home are the outstanding care teams, lead by nurses experienced in caring for the elderly. I never saw any resident treated with anything less than care, courtesy and respect. There is obvious fondness for the residents, even the most demanding. Visiting is any time so this is not a show put on just during visiting time. At the latter stages of Mum's life we were with her around the clock the care and respect shown to residents was also shown to us. No care home can ever be as good as you would like it to be but Rivermead comes close. I was so glad we chose this home, the outstand staff reduced the guilt I felt about having to put Mum into care.
