At Riverslie, we offer a comfortable and friendly home for people over the age of 65 who require additional support or nursing care.

Riverslie is an elegant property, which has been suitably adapted to provide modern-day care facilities. The house is situated in the Seaforth area of Liverpool, close to the docks.

We believe we offer a friendly and comfortable home, whilst providing the highest standards of facilities and equipment.

• Weekly exercise classes are held and in house entertainments are regularly organised as are outings to concerts and places of interest

Our philosophy

Our philosophy is based upon a belief that all the people who use our service have the right to be treated as individuals. Whilst we require staff to work within basic guidelines and routines this must not institutionalise care. This will be monitored at regular intervals, in full consultation with all people, relatives, staff and visiting professionals.

The specialist needs of residents will be met by our staff that are knowledgeable and sensitive to their needs. The main tenant of care for people is the maintenance of dignity, orientation in time and place, safe management of aggression and challenging behaviour and the maintenance and retrieval of skills pertaining to activities of daily living and communication. This is achieved by stimulation, interaction and a supportive environment for both residents and staff.
