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. ?
Rivermead is one of 196 care homes in North Yorkshire: a 71-bed nursing home in Malton, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. The typical home in North Yorkshire has 29 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in January 2020. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in June 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 49% of homes in North Yorkshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
In North Yorkshire, 86% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2026. That is true of 94% of homes in North Yorkshire. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited runs 210 care homes, and 175 of the 198 rated are Good or Outstanding.
