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 recently had fun together playing indoor skittles, everyone gave it their best shot, but the prize went to our wonderful Mair! Well done 🌟
We are so happy with our new bird feeder! 🐦⬛ Our old one was looking a little worn and this one is rather quite pretty... Big thank you to our wonderful residents John B and Anabel for helping us put it together 😀
Things heated up in this came of 5's & 3's Dominoes! George B is always a fierce competitor and he and Anabel took the lead, winning 3-1 to John B and Margaret B! No doubt there will be a rematch soon😆 👏
We recently wished a very happy birthday to our brilliant George who never fails to make us smile and laugh. We hope you enjoyed your day! 🎂
Our wonderful George was delighted when we tried out our new Boules set recently! We tested different locations to see which was best for our match, and a sunny game in the garden was perfect! George previously played for Carlisle Boules team - and even represented us in Portugal👏 🌞
Our wonderful Jeffrey showcasing his musical talents! Jeffrey has always had a passion for playing the guitar and we’re delighted to support him in pursuing his hobby 🎵 😊
We took Velcro Darts to the next level with some ball shooters recently! The session came with lots of funny moments - especially when one of the balls bounced off the window and landed on John's chest! Lots of fun had by all 🎾 😄
We've been really enjoying visiting the Military Museum at Carlisle Castle - and meeting new people with similar life experiences as our residents. It's wonderful to see them sharing their stories and making new friends😁
We have recently bought a new table tennis set and what fun we've had already!😆
Our homegrown peppers, tomatoes, peas and cucumbers have been doing so well that we've now moved them out into the garden And of course, we had to enjoy a few games with an ice lolly whilst the sunshine was out!🍅 ☀️
