The care of my sister was excellent, she is suffering from Progressive Supranuclear palsy. The head of care and her deputy were very helpful and kind. Their observations resulted in a transfer to local hospice and subsequent changes in medication. The only problem I encountered was trying to get through on the telephone to either the main number or nursing - it was always voicemail. So communications were not always easy.
We are aware of sporadic telephony issues recently, so please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Our telephony system is due to be replaced imminently, so we do recognise the problem and are doing all we can to sort it out quickly. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
My respite care was extremely good. The staff was friendly, caring and professional. My stay was nothing but enjoyable and beneficial for me after a hip operation. If I had to, I would definitely opt to stay at the Richmond.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review; it was a pleasure meeting you and your family. The care team have asked me to send their best wishes and to tell you they're missing you greatly. Please come back and see us and the residents for tea and cakes when its safe to do so.
My wife has had the best care at Richmond Northampton anyone could ask for. Nothing is too much trouble from any of the staff and the medical treatment is second to none. I would recommend Richmond Northampton for its very high standards and quality.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it is very much appreciated by all of us at Richmond Village.
From the first contact, we met with kind and efficient help. After admission, I knew we had made the right choice under sad and difficult home conditions. Not only is my partner receiving all the help and care he needs but I am made to feel so welcome.

The staff and facilities are positive, healthy and hugely supportive to all family members in a difficult situation. We remain hugely grateful.
Thank you for this lovely review, It's great to hear such kind words said towards the staff and village. Your father has settled in really well and is a pleasure to spend time with.
Would absolutely recommend this fantastic care home, my Mum is always happy. The staff are friendly and very professional and the food is excellent. We are always made to feel welcomed. The place is spotlessly clean and it's how a care home should be.

The staff at Richmond feel very honoured by your kind review, thank you so much. It’s wonderful to see how quickly your mother has settled into to life At Richmond and to hear that she enjoys all the marvellous facilities.

My Mum has lived at Richmond Village in the dementia care unit for several months now. From the first visit, I felt that this place was right for Mum and far better than her 2 previous homes and the numerous other homes I had viewed. The physical environment is beautiful. Large, light, stimulating, yet also calm and homely. The quality of the catering is amazing. However, the main reason that it is such an amazing place is the staff. The care staff are just so good. They are patient, caring, funny, engaging, and interested. They care and get to know each resident and family and tailor their interactions accordingly. The support staff are equally welcoming and friendly. I cannot recommend the dementia unit at Richmond Village highly enough.
Thank you so much for your very kind words. We like to think we have an amazing team and will continue to work very hard to make sure it stays that way; but it means so a great deal more to us all when the plaudits come from a family member. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback, it is very much appreciated.

My wife was discharged from hospital after 3 weeks of treatment. I arranged for her to have 1 week of respite care at Richmond Village Northampton. She received excellent care which made the transition back to home an easy one.

Thank you Joy so much for the lovely review, You always light up a room when you enter and its always a great pleasure seeing you enjoy yourself everyday.
Caring and compassionate with respect for all. My father is getting involved every day in an observational way. But there are signs of greater understanding.
All staff have got to know my father within 3 months and I am extremely impressed with the level of care.

She has been very happy and has joined in the activities.
They even started a poetry group for her as they know how fond she is of poetry.
This has become a firm favourite with many more residents joining in.

My Mum had been to two nursing homes prior to Richmond Village. The difference is hard to describe. For the first time, we are so happy with Mum's care. All the staff are so friendly and caring, not jus tot Mum but to all our family. The accommodation is a different class. I describe to like a 5 star hotel. The food is out of this world, plenty of activities going on. It was the best decision we could have made. I would highly recommend.

This is the sixth residence my mother has had in 13 months. When she arrived she was confused and grieving, eventually appearing to require end of life care. The home informed me and continued to offer me and my mother excellent support and care. Staff have enabled my mother's diabetes to be appropriately managed so that her blood sugar is largely stable. My mother is bed-bound but recently she has been moved in a wheelchair to other parts of the house so that she can meet other people. She is always treated with good humour, dignity and respect. She periodically responds openly and is much more settled and becoming more herself despite significant challenges. I would not hesitate to recommend Richmond Northampton for care needs.

Perfectly happy with great care and attention.

As a family, we are immensely grateful to all the wonderful, dedicated staff at the Richmond Village Care Home.
Because of your dedication, care and compassion our dear mother's last few weeks of life were made painless, peaceful and dignified. You will always be in our hearts - thank you.

The emergency call system is maintained well and someone is always just a few minutes away if a resident in difficulty.
I am confident that my Mother is known to the team and it will be a two-way street moving forward as she requires more assistance.

I have been part of the Richmond Village Northampton family since October 2020 and am incredibly proud to be the Village Manager. Supporting our residents and helping to create a community where people feel safe, valued and truly at home is something I am deeply passionate about.
Every day, I am inspired by the wonderful residents who live here and by the dedicated team I have the privilege to lead. Building meaningful relationships with residents and their families is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role, and I believe that taking the time to listen, understand and support everyone makes all the difference.
My approach is guided by Bupa’s values of being Caring, Brave and Responsible. Whether it’s finding ways to enhance the resident experience, supporting colleagues to be their best, or ensuring the village continues to thrive, I am committed to putting residents’ wellbeing and happiness at the heart of every decision.
Richmond Village Northampton is a very special place, and I feel fortunate to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community. It is a privilege to play a role in helping our residents live independently, confidently and with the peace of mind that support is always available when needed.

Hello, I’m Karen Chaplin, Domiciliary Care Manager at Richmond Villages Northampton.
I have dedicated the past 38 years to working within healthcare settings, collaborating closely with allied professionals across a wide range of disciplines—including nursing, occupational therapy, and staff training.
My journey in care began in my twenties, and it quickly became more than just a career—it became a vocation. I continue to feel deeply passionate about the work I do and the people I support every day.

I have been working at Richmond Villages Northampton for just over a year now and thoroughly enjoy helping people make their decision to move into our retirement village. Ensuring I provide my customers with the best possible experience and meet their specific needs is essential. Before working at Richmond Villages, I worked in property sales and customer service roles, mainly within estate agency and new home sales.
It’s a great privilege to be able to demonstrate to people the warm and welcoming lifestyle provided by Richmond Villages.
