Formerly Blackwell Vale, Riverwell Beck was renamed in June 2022 to celebrate its extensive refurbishment project, GOOD CQC rating and next chapter under the management of Mariposa Care.
Situated a short drive from Carlisle city, Riverwell Beck provides nursing care for people living with complex medical needs, as well as 24-hour nursing dementia care provided by specialist teams. We also provide residential care for those who need a little help with daily tasks, and residential dementia care, where we support residents to maintain their independence and individuality, encouraging social activity and building relationships within the home.
Our home is only a short distance from Upperby Park, which makes for a lovely day out for residents and their loved ones to spend quality time together. At Riverwell Beck our residents love to explore and enjoy our beautiful sensory gardens, which we have found to be most beneficial to their well-being.

Life at Riverwell Beck is again dictated by our service users. It is a relaxed family feel with lots of activities. We are very much part of the community and involve ourselves with whatever is happening out there within the community such as going to see the weeping window at the castle. Intergenerational programmes where our service users have become pen-friends with children from our local youth zone and joining them in the community for a fifties night etc. We have themed days such as Burns Night, St Patricks Day, St Davids day and St Georges day where we have entertainment to suit the cullture of the day and the menus for those days would be traditional Scottish, Irish, Welsh or English. We have flower arranging, exercise to music, pantomimes, music halls and the usual bingo and quizzes etc along with gardening groups, knitting groups, cooking groups and pamper groups. Whatever is decided by our service users.
Food is cooked fresh on the premises and the menus are dictated by our residents who discuss regularly the menu options at their involvement meetings. These are fed back to our Chef who accommodates the service users wishes and adapts the menus to suit. The dining rooms are spacious, warm and inviting and give our service users another opportunity for get together mealtime chats. Riverwell Beck take nutrition very seriously, offer a wide varied, colourful and tasty diet but one that is tasty and nutritionally sound.

We put our bravery to the test recently with a fun game of ‘What's in the box?’ - our residents had a great time trying to figure out different objects by just feeling them! Some things were easier than others to guess - and even better, some of the items were edible! 🍫 🟠 🍌
We've been decorating coffee filters with ink and water, when they dry we're going to turn them into pretty flowers and butterflies once they've dried 🦋
Our plants have had a healthy drink of water thanks to Arthur, Anabel and John. Our sunflowers are growing to an impressive height too 🌻 🌻
There's nothing like a game of darts! Well done to John for winning 😊 🎯
We were delighted to welcome some very special visitors to our home this week, as the fantastic Geoff Brown visited to give ice-creams for our residents to enjoy with the warm weather! Geoff has won the Pride of Britain Award for all of his generous work within the community and it's clear to see why! We even had BBC Radio Cumbria join us to celebrate Geoff's incredible generosity towards our care home!🍦 ☀️
We love getting to know our residents more and helping build new friendships - so we've recently been playing "All about me" Snakes and Ladders! It's sparked some fantastic conversations and created plenty of laughs👏 🎲
A cosy coffee morning in our wonderful garden room - thank you to all who joined us🌿 😌
Our Summer Fayre is just around the corner! Join us for a fun-filled afternoon with garden games, a raffle & tombola, live music from the wonderful Victoria Yeomans, plenty of local stalls to browse - and everyones favourite, a raffle full of fantastic prizes! ☀️🌸
With all the beautiful weather recently, we decided to host our latest Veteran's Coffee Morning outdoors! It was a wonderful opportunity to admire our wonderful flower beds and check on the sunflowers ahead of the Mariposa Care Sunflower Competition - and as you can see, with our lovely John B taking care of them, they're absolutely thriving!🌻
We commemorated the 80th anniversary of VJ Day by exploring the Oomph Wellness activity pack and took part in a 2 minute silence - we later reminisced on this period of history, played dominos and watched the VJ Day Special Programmes from the BBC 🎖️
