Riccall House

Riccall House is a converted vicarage, in the heart of the village of Riccall, between York and Selby. We are home to 18 elderly male and female residents, some of whom have dementia related conditions.

A kind, comfortable and happy place to live

Riccall House is our residents’ home and their peace of mind and quality of life are paramount to the caring and dedicated team who aim to provide personalised, person-centered care, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

With a charming courtyard garden and plenty of varied activities throughout the week, we offer a wide range of interest and enjoyment for our residents and our day care guests.

Registered Manager Diane Moughan, ensures life at Riccall House is homely and friendly. Having worked there since 1988 both Diane and her team will be delighted to welcome you to view the home and talk through what you, your family and loved ones are looking for.
