Care Home in Kent

Riverlea House residential home is situated on the banks of the river Dour in the quaint village of River which provides accommodation for 44 residents. Each new resident is provided with a personal care plan and introduced to a member of staff who will befriend them and their family, look after their personal shopping needs and assist with any concerns or worries. Riverlea House is located within the picturesque village of River near the historic town of Dover with easy access to local amenities and all major motorways and rail routes.

The management and staff at Riverlea House are committed to providing a standard of care that embraces all the principles of excellent care home practices. The resident’s physical and spiritual wellbeing is at the heart of our plan of care which ultimately enables each resident to reach their desired goals and level of fulfilment in life. We actively promote a happy working and living environment which is both professional, courteous and fun. We believe in respecting individual preferences whilst encouraging independence.
