About Riverlea House
Riverlea House supports older people in a residential care setting without nursing. It is part of Select Healthcare Group, a family-run provider whose wider services include residential care, nursing care and dementia support.
The wider group describes 24-hour care, personalised support and daily activities across its homes, while Riverlea House is specifically identified for residential care. This gives families a residential setting within a provider that also operates specialist services elsewhere. Riverlea House is registered as a care home without nursing, a practical distinction for families comparing levels of support.

How much does Riverlea House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Riverlea House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,096 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
