Palliative Care

All our staff receive regular training with the Joseph Weld Hospice in all aspect of Palliative Care. Our excellence in this field has been supported by our end of life care programme for which we were awarded the coveted Platinum status by the Gold Standard Framework accreditation board.

With planning and discussions with the resident and family we look to ensure that if a resident chooses to end their days in a homely environment at Riverside Nursing Home we do our best to grant their wish. They may want Radio 4 on in the background or their favourite CD playing and pictures of the family around them, none of this is too much trouble.

Testimonials

Thank you so very much for all you did for Mum.  You took such great care of her and we are so grateful to you all.

Testimonials

My husband has been in Riverside Nursing Home in Sherborne for five months now. He took a few weeks to settle down in his new surroundings at first but now has got to know the Staff. The Nurses, Carers, the Chef, all have been so kind, respectful, most of all understanding the needs of not only the residents but their families. Only recently we enjoyed an outing to Weymouth organised by the Activities Co-ordinator. Matron Judith Maidment waved us off as our special coach left Riverside. Thank you all
