At the heart of the retirement village is the care home which provides first-class nursing, dementia, respite and convalescent care in 30 en-suite bedrooms.

The retirement village features excellent on-site facilities that include a coffee shop, restaurant, a number of elegant sitting rooms, hair salon, beauty treatment room, library, free Wi-Fi, an activities and craft studio, plus award-winning landscaped gardens and a sensory garden.

Review from DJB (Son of Resident) published on 2 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My parents are both approaching 90 years of age and suffer from severe mobility difficulties. When it became clear they could no longer remain in their own home and required some kind of assisted living, I visited most,if not all, of the appropriate care homes in the local area, and,in my opinion, none
were better than Richmond Northampton. From the first moment, we received nothing but helpful,considerate service and,whilst my parents found it difficult at first to make the adjustment, it is plain to see that they are content,well looked after and receiving the services they currently need. Whilst cost is always an issue, to find a home where both of them can be together in the same rooms is very difficult,so we feel the move has been well worth while.The relationship we have with the staff and management is excellent and I always find that any problems are resolved in an efficient and friendly way.

We are very proud of our team; they all work very hard to provide a wonderful place for our residents to enjoy and it makes it all the more worthwhile when their efforts are noticed.

Review from Jennifer (Friend of Resident) published on 2 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a friend of someone who lives in Richmond, I must say I am very impressed. The staff are always very helpful and can't do enough for you even as a visitor. The food is always outstanding. I have been to the restaurant a few times to eat. There is so much for the residents to do if they want. I am
really pleased to how my friend had settled in and she herself is really pleased. Just walking in and around the grounds and meeting people with their genuine smile on their faces says it all for me. Everyone is relaxed and is home to them. I am just happy that my friend has found a lovely place to live and knowing that she will have the great care if she needs it. I really enjoyed the east meets West night and the do they had for the Queens 90th party. It just proves that nothing is a problem for Richmond and make memories for all family, friends and residents.

Well managed quality care with dignity and compassion. Excellent onsite facilities and caring staff. Caters for a wide range of client requirement levels and therefore an ideal base for clients who may require continued and changing levels of care.

Review from Isabel G (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father became a resident in the care home after 4 happy years in the assisted living unit. He became increasingly unwell and following a stay in hospital he needed more care than could be given to him in the assisted living unit. The staff in the care home treated him with respect and dignity. In
common with the staff of the assisted living unit they had endless patience and compassion and he seemed to relax and thrive under their care. Food was provided to suit his needs, it was plentiful and of good quality. He was encouraged to eat and drink frequently, treated as an individual and provided with soft foods as he had increasing difficulty swallowing. When it became evident that his condition was terminal the nursing staff did everything that they could to support us, his family as well as him, making his last days as comfortable as they possibly could. The surroundings at Richmond Care Home, as in the rest of the village, are very comfortable, clean and relaxed.
Reply from Claire Fry, Senior Village Adviser at Richmond Villages NorthamptonMany thanks for your kind words, your father was a great character with a wonderful sense of humour and a valued resident of Richmond Village.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle lived in the retirement village from July 2015. He became ill and required more care so moved into Richmond Village Care home. The care was simply wonderful. The staff were excellent from beginning to end and still care.
So caring and professional, fulfilling his every wish and supporting
and caring for the family too. Nothing was too much trouble and could not have been better in any way. An incredible place filled with excellent care until the end of my uncles life in February 2016.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.660)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.660) out of 10 for Richmond Villages Northampton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.885 for Richmond Villages Northampton is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.885
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Richmond Villages Northampton is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
