Rivermere Care Home was taken over by Avery Healthcare at the start of 2017 and we have quickly set about transforming the fortunes of the home, bringing the home into line with our exemplary standards and overarching care philosophy. It is this approach that has won us two major awards in 2016 and the respect of many within the care sector.

Rivermere enjoys a pleasant situation close to the town of Sevenoaks, right next to Chipstead Lakes, on the edge of the Kent Weald, and easily accessible from both the M25 and M26. The home itself, surrounded by mature trees and garden offers an opulent feel and a care environment where staff are dedicated to the holistic well-being of the residents.

We realise that moving in to a home is a big step and can be somewhat intimidating when not in the best of health or having problems with memory. At Rivermere we do our best to reassure relatives that we treat all our residents with the dignity and respect they deserve and give them every opportunity to keep up with their interests and passions in life.

All bedrooms are light and roomy and have an en-suite wet room; residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms as they please. A spacious atrium with feature chandelier and sweeping staircase leads on to an open-plan area which includes a bistro cum cafe, bar, and activity lounge. Here is where most of our residents like to congregate.

The second floor is dedicated to dementia care with its own dining room, lounges and activity area leading onto a spacious and safe patio area. On the ground floor there is a dining room, and hair and beauty salon, and on the first floor a lounge, where small groups or clubs can meet, as well as a cinema room.

Eat in or take away?

You are what you eat and at Rivermere we take food seriously, while making meal times fun and enjoyable occasions for our diners. There is always a wide variety of nutritional choices at all three meals of the day, which are cooked on the premises, from fresh and seasonal ingredients whenever possible.

We like to mark special days – haggis on Burns Night, lots of green food for St Patrick’s Day, home-grown pumpkin pie at Hallowe’en, for instance. Once a month residents organise takeaways which they enjoy on their laps with a good film on the screen.

Throughout the day a range of freshly baked cakes and pastries, savoury snacks, fruit and drinks are available. Birthdays and anniversaries deserve special attention and our team enjoys making cakes and treats for those days, when relatives are more than welcome. There is a private dining room as well, if you want to have friends and family to yourself.
