River Court is situated in a residential area of Watford, on a local bus route and with shops close by. This modern home has been purpose built to meet the needs of residents, and comprises four separate houses. One provides nursing care, one residential care and one dementia nursing care. The fourth unit is contracted to Harrow Social Services for residential dementia care. Each of the houses comprises a well furnished lounge, conservatory and dining room, which provide places for residents to meet or entertain guests. All the houses have access to large landscaped gardens. All the bedrooms are for single occupancy, and some have garden views. Daily activities include arts, crafts, gardening, bingo and trips to local places of interest.

River Court is currently undergoing a refurbishment programme due for completion by early summer 2008.

BUPA Care Homes

All our homes offer the quality of care you'd expect from BUPA. We employ dedicated, well trained staff, to provide 24-hour care in a professional and respectful way.

Above all, each resident is treated as an individual, and able to exercise choice in all aspects of their care. We encourage as full and active a lifestyle as possible, with rules and regulations kept to minimum, and visitors are welcome at any time.

Each resident has their own regularly updated care plan. Additional services such as speech therapy or physiotherapy can always be arranged, as can opticians and dentists appointments.

All rooms have television points and safety features such as smoke detectors and 24-hour nurse-call systems. Residents are welcome to bring personal belongings and small items of furniture, and pets are allowed in some homes.

Each home has an activities organiser to provide stimulating and interesting activities, taking account of residents' interests. There is always a varied menu of fresh, nutritious food, but special dietary or cultural needs will always be catered for.

Fees vary for each home, room and the level of care needed. Please contact the home manager directly to get an individualised quote.

Why not visit your local home and find out what sets BUPA care homes apart?
