Meet The Manager
Sarah Nicholson is Care Home Manager at Riverside Court Care Home.
Sarah has been passionate about care from a very young age and watching lots medical programmes made her even more eager towork in the care sector. In 1996, she became a qualified nurse and hasn’t looked back since!
What makes the resident experience at Riverside Court so special? We believe it’s our real sense of ‘family’ that has kindness, friendliness and respect right at its heart.

We also welcome adults and young people with physical disabilities. In every case we’re here to provide all the care each person’s own family could wish for. Riverside Court is next to Ismay Wharf on the marina within easy reach of the town’s amenities. All areas of our home are fresh and cheerful with a choice of lively or quiet communal spaces where residents can relax with each other or welcome family and friends.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Another way we can help our residents to feel at home is for them to do familiar things. So our dedicated Activities Leaders gently encourage residents to carry on doing things they enjoy. If someone had a hobby or pastime they did before they arrived, we’ll encourage them to continue it with us. Or perhaps they may like to learn something new. The important thing is that we treat every resident as an individual. If they enjoy sharing time with others, either in our home or on an organised trip out, they’re most welcome. Or, if they prefer quiet time alone, we’ll respect that too. |
