About Riverside Care Home
Riverside Care Home provides residential support for older people with dementia, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. The home is also listed as an assisted living facility, with activities and everyday support intended to help residents continue their lifestyles in a care setting.
Families can take part in care-planning meetings and relatives’ meetings, while residents are encouraged to bring personal belongings and continue hobbies. Daily activities are organised by an activities co-ordinator, and the wider group describes restaurant-style dining rooms, hair salons, sweet shops and cinema rooms across its homes. Riverside is part of Wood Care Group’s Barnsley provision.
