About Us

Rivacre House is a residential care home in Ellesmere Port supporting adults living with mental health conditions. This is somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been placed, and we run the household on that basis.

What helps most here is a settled environment, a structure to the week that can be relied upon, and staff who know somebody well enough to notice when things are shifting, often before the person feels able to say so. Support can include help with medication, personal care where it is needed, managing a household, budgeting, getting to appointments and taking part in ordinary life beyond these walls. Where somebody has goals of their own, whether that is work, study, seeing more of their family or simply managing more of their own affairs, we plan support that steps back as they step forward.

Respite stays are available too, which can give a family carer a real break or provide a settled place to be during a difficult period.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Rivacre House, please visit, meet the people living here and ask us whatever you need to know about how we work.
