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.
Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us for this year's Christmas parties 🎄
We had a jolly good time and enjoyed live entertainment by Steve Wilson to get us in the festive spirit 🎉
We have been making lovely air dry clay decorations for our trees to give them a homespun touch 🎄♥️

Enjoying a fun Christmas pyjama day at Riverwell Beck! ♥️🎄
We recently had children from our local school visit to sing carols to our residents - and their beautiful voices definitely brought a few tears to our eyes at Riverwell Beck. We look forward to having you back next year! Merry Christmas 🎄
Our lovely resident George believes it's not Christmas without a nativity scene - so we set up this lovely little display in our reception for visitors to enjoy! George loved arranging them and we felt incredibly proud to uphold a tradition that is so very dear to him💗
We have had an afternoon of chair dancing to Christmas tunes here at Riverrwell Beck! Throwing our scarves and tapping our feet have been favourite moves! 🎄🎶♥️
Our residents have enjoyed hand-making their own fabric wreaths recently - these were just the right amount of challenging but fun! 🤶
What a delightful time we had making our wreath for the Mariposa Care Wreath Making Competition! We weren't too sure how things were going to go in the beginning, but our fantastic John and Arthur persisted to create this beautiful new decoration - and both were proud as punch with the result😁 ✨
Riverwell Beck
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.
Riverwell Beck
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.
