CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
River Meadows Nursing Home is a 44-bed nursing home in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, run by Springcare (River Meadows) Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Shropshire, where the typical home has 29 beds.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in November 2025. In Shropshire, 91% of homes score 5. In Shropshire, 80% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from December 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in May 2016. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Shropshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
