About Rider House
Rider House Nursing Home has been a well-known land mark on Stapenhill Road for many years, dating back to 1960. Originally named George Rider Residential Home it comprises single room accommodation, set out over two floors that are served by a large lift for easy access. There are some en-suite rooms available upon request.
We are located directly opposite the tranquil Stapenhill Gardens, and regularly take residents out to view wildlife and the scenery. Friends and family members often enjoy walks along the River Trent and across the newly refurbished historical Ferry Bridge with their loved ones. The home is situated just four minutes by car from Burton town centre, ideal for shopping trips, dining out and entertainment. We also have an activities co-ordinator, who organises frequent entertainment, enrichment and outings, as well as one-to-one social visits for residents unable to make it to common areas.
Rider House's friendly, skilled team is able to offer care and accommodation for up to 41 residents over the age of 65. We pride ourselves in delivering person-centred care for all, including respite care, the management of chronic conditions and palliative care. Ours is a homely, relaxed environment, which provides residents with comfort, security and a sense of wellbeing.
