Questions families ask
How do they assess whether someone needs care?
They carry out a full assessment to determine which type of care is best suited to the person, particularly where there are signs such as loneliness, falls or difficulty with daily tasks.
What types of care do they provide?
They provide residential, dementia, respite and palliative care, with services suited to changing needs over time.
Can residents keep seeing their own GP?
Yes. They can continue seeing their own GP if the doctor is within the home's catchment area. The home can recommend suitable local GPs where needed.
Can residents personalise their bedrooms?
Yes. Residents can bring soft furnishings, photographs and other personal items, provided the items pass a fire safety risk assessment carried out by home staff.
What activities do they offer residents?
Each home has an activities coordinator who arranges meaningful activities to stimulate residents mentally and physically. Activities are tailored so residents can take part according to their abilities and preferences.
How much does The Rivers cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Rivers for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wakefield council paid on average £805 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.
