Residential Care in Morpeth

Riverside House is an independent care home in the heart of Morpeth. We believe we are an integral part of the local community and our focus is on delivering high quality, person centred care to our service users.

Personal Care

Together with you and your family, we will identify your needs, preferences and the things we need to know to support you

The Comforts of Home

Fully furnished rooms to suit your tastes and exceptional food and catering to your dietary requirements

Convenient Location

We are close to local shops and excellent transport links, making us easily accessible for visitors to pop in any time

Welcome to Our Care Home

Our home is built on the banks of the River Wansbeck and has a substantial garden area, is close to the historic centre of Morpeth and has good public transport links. For those who want to drive to our home we have plenty of parking in our own car park.

We have 46 en-suite bedrooms, access for disabled service users and visitors, and wifi throughout the home.  People who stay with us on a residential basis have their care package led by a Senior Carer who with involvement with the service user and family devise a care plan to meet their needs.  Service users have access to the community based healthcare team which includes their GP and District Nurses.
