Mum enjoys the excellent choice of food provided.
Mum has dementia, so it is a little difficult to rate the activities as she can't remember if she has been to them.
I understand that recently the dom care staff have made extra efforts to take Mum to events as Mum does get a little bored, again this is mainly due to her condition & no longer being able to read or concentrate on things; however staff often tell me that she enjoyed a certain event.
Mum has a lovely downstairs apartment with a west facing bay window, she loves to sit in this on sunny afternoons & look at the garden.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We're very pleased to hear that Mum has settled in so well. You may be aware that we have an Admiral Nurse (they specialise in people living with dementia) that visits our village twice every month. If you'd like to meet with her, please let us know and we can put you in touch.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. 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. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it is genuinely appreciated
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.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is wonderful to see how quickly your friend has settled into one of our village suites. We at Richmond Villages ensure that there is opportunities for friends and family to join in on various events and activities, it is nice to see you have taken part.
The staff are all always very professional, polite and caring. The main areas are spotless. Residents are always offered a wide range of things to do, including a lot of options outside of their homes. Overall a really nice retirement village.
Thank you Theresa for supporting our village over the past twelve months.
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.
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.
Many thanks for your kind words, your father was a great character with a wonderful sense of humour and a valued resident of Richmond Village.
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.
We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a glowing review, Thank you so much.

Meet the Team (4)

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.

I have worked at Richmond Northampton since 2016 working my way up from a carer, Senior carer, Team Leader and now Head of Care. I have been in care for 30 years. I have always been passionate about Care and love working for Richmond Northampton with our amazing Care Team and our wonderful residents.

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.
