Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Richmond Nantwich: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.3 (maximum of 10) for Richmond Nantwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 70 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Richmond Nantwich in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.731 for Richmond Nantwich is calculated as follows: ( (611 Excellents x 5) + (177 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 807 Ratings = 4.731
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.61 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Richmond Nantwich is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8.2 positive Reviews (41 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 8.2 Target = 0.610
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Richmond Nantwich has a Review Score of 9.3 (9.341) from 70 Reviews

My wife and I went from one care home to another for a change of scenery. We found the staff very caring and friendly. We could have wished for more communal activities to share with other residents and be stimulated rather than left to our own devices - watching T.V.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this questionnaire. As a more established village, we do not have the same leisure facilities that many of our newer villages enjoy such as spas, dedicated activity rooms and swimming pools however we do our very best to provide a stimulating and varied social diary for all our residents. I hope that you will come back and visit us again, perhaps coinciding your visit with one of our bigger events details of which can be found on our website.

My 81-year-old mother and I visited Richmond Nantwich for a respite retreat weekend.
My mum is registered disabled. The staff were very attentive, professional and supportive. The meals provided, quality of service and menu options were plentiful. The standard of accommodation exceeded our expectations. My mum felt very relaxed during her stay and her needs were met with the care staff being on hand 24/7. I was able to bring along my pet dog and when mum was relaxing, we'd go off for a nice walk into the town centre and the beautiful riverside and to see the bird sanctuary. A lovely weekend was had, very restorative. Thank you.

The care of our elderly parents at Richmond Nantwich was excellent. They were clean and in clean clothes, every day, which we are sure added to their well-being and dignity. The food we believe was the best and my father-in-law actually put on weight.
The staff were friendly and helpful and communicated with us when there was a problem. We would highly recommend Richmond Nantwich for all these reasons and the cleanliness of the whole area was good despite building work going on.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by A F (Respite Resident) on Tuesday 1 August 2017. Relates to July 2017.
Apart from two assistants, the staff were excellent and most polite. The room provided had problems:
Too small - no comfortable chair.
Two hangers (one a battered wire one).
Double bedspread on a single bed - dangerous overhanging.
TV problems, many.
But good outlet, view.
On the whole good food, particularly soups and puddings.

Dear Mrs F,
Thank you for your review.
I am aware that a member of staff spoke to you whilst you were here to explain that the room allocated was one of our standard respite rooms. Many of our rooms have recently been extended to include outside patios and balconies but these are occupied by our longer term residents.
The chair provided is common to all rooms and I am sorry that you did not find this comfortable. The bedspread is actually a single but I understand your concerns regarding a trip hazard and these have been passed on to our Hospitality Manager, as has your comment regarding the TV (although we are a little unclear as to your precise meaning).
It is kind of you to compliment the food; we have many excellent comments about the choice and quality we offer. I am sorry that you found two assistants unhelpful; we do our utmost to ensure that the same excellent customer service is offered to everyone and I can only apologise for this.
I hope that you are now feeling rested and if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

We came to visit a friend in your care home last month and we thought the staff were very friendly and helpful. The home had a lovely atmosphere and although we were only there for a short time. The first impression was very good indeed. The home itself was beautiful also the surrounding area.

I spent a week in the care unit following spinal surgery. I have no complaints about any of the care I received.
Although there was work going on externally, the workmen were considerate.
The food was of a good nutritious quality. The catering staff were kind and courteous,
The care staff were excellent and offered help when needed. I was not afraid to ask for anything a really good standard. A little bit expensive but you pay for excellence.

My father is now in his sixth week following hospital discharge directly to Richmond his care has been exemplary during periods of exacerbated illness. During times when he has felt well, the staff have been very encouraging to include him in socialising and attending activities whilst my father would love to be in his own home Richmond has provided the next best thing.

This care home is extremely clean, welcoming and friendly. The staff are very warm and treat the residents with absolute respect. The rooms of the residents are all very individual, as each resident is able to fully make it their own. There is a strong staff presence in the building so always someone to help out.

We needed as a family, palliative care for my mother and we looked at Richmond Nantwich on the internet. We rang up, made an appointment to see inside and the room that was available. My mother was assured and accepted. From September to mid-November, my mother had 100% care here. The staff are wonderful and so caring without making my mother feel that she was deteriorating. It gave my father and I peace of mind that mother was being looked after. From the senior care lead down to the breakfast staff, to the cooks and cleaners, it is an exceptional and very special place.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jackie L (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 29 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
Richmond Village Nantwich is a fantastic care home. It's main feature is that it is situated in the centre of Richmond Village (retirement village). My father is 89 years old and is able to share the excellent range of activities available with people much younger than himself. This range of activities is definitely a plus factor of living in the care home. I have been very happy with the quality of care in all aspects which my dad has received over the past 4 years.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Geoff FM (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 23 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
Since Mum moved to Richmond Village in Nantwich she has been happier than I remember, as she has become poorly, the staff have gone over and above the call of duty to make sure she is well looked after, we are kept informed and Mum feels very cared for and part of the Richmond family.
Because of Mums failing health, her needs have changed and the staff and management have been very sympathetic and caring to ensure changes have been made, we have been consulted at all times and advised when she needs changes, or when she is well. Never once have we been concerned and indeed we feel everyone in this home is looked after as though they were related to the staff member because they are so very very good
I cannot say how fabulous everyone one is at this home, Mum is so happy, comfortable and enjoying life even when her illnesses try and stop her, the staff make sure they don't. It is such a comfort that she is safe at this home and happy. Thank you, everyone, at Richmond Village Nantwich.

From the moment my mother moved into Richmond Village, she was treated with dignity and respect. The home is run very efficiently and has a number of activities going on throughout the day.
The staff have made my mother welcome and her every need is attended to by an expert team. The atmosphere at the home is more of a hotel, upbeat vibe, immaculate grounds and facilities. I feel safe in the knowledgeable that my mother could not receive better care.

My recently bereaved mother moved for respite care and quickly settled in due to the kindness and dedication of all the staff. She had been very lonely, sad and unmotivated at home. However, she had joined in the activities, made new friends and came alive again. We are so pleased to see this transformation.

Friendly, helpful and kind staff. Very clean environment. Lots of choice at meal times. Nothing too much trouble. Felt safe in this environment and would return if need be. Just felt the addition of a communal lounge other than the dining area would be most welcome. There was only the reception area or outside (weather permitting) to meet other residents.

Richmond Nantwich has both the appearance and feel more of a hotel than a retirement home. From arriving in reception through all departments the staff are fantastic. Courteous and friendly throughout. No nasty smells here. Everything is clean and tidy. Close care levels are of the highest order. I cannot believe this place can be bettered. Expensive? - Yes, but value for money? - Sure thing.

Very pleasant experience. I found the residents and the staff very helpful and friendly. My flatlet was comfortable and roomy. I had a very enjoyable break and hope to come again in the future. I would be pleased and happy to live here- but must consider the finance as the village apartments are expensive and also I am not mobile so would miss friends etc as they are like myself elderly and not too mobile! I am 90 myself. Try to build a unit closer to me, please!

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Margaret D (Resident) on Tuesday 16 August 2016. Relates to August 2016.
I have had contact for over 12 years as a volunteer, visitor, friend and had Respite care on 4 occasions. Excellent leadership creates an excellent workforce which is immediately apparent. All departments achieve a common aim - high standards and pride in their job. Many of the clients are vulnerable. Each has his/her own special needs which are met. May I cite an example of efficiency, high standards achieved? "Reception - one's first point of contact is usually with a reception team who field a myriad of tasks. First impressions are important: dealing with people requires empathy, expertise and kindness which allay one's fears in a new situation. On my 4 respite occasions, one of which I was well-cared for, supported, restoring my confidence. Gratitude to LEADERSHIP".

As a resident, for 16 years I have been very happy. My wife (deceased) was cared for by the TLC of a very good are staff at all times. In my opinion, she was helped to be reasonably happy and pain-free despite severe attacks of Trigeminal neuralgia. She was wheelchair bound and bed bound for over 40 years with progressive MS.

I have been in my flat now for almost three years. I have always found the staff at reception very very helpful. I have found the staff everywhere friendly and considerate.
The whole area inside and out is spotless and the food good. Things have improved in general this year with freshly decorated reception and dining areas. It is the kindness that people of our age need and that is in evidence here.

The care home is well maintained and decorated. The staff are good, kind, friendly and generally efficient. My mum's room is adequate, the main sitting and bed area could be cleaner, but the bathroom is always clean.
The food is good, varied and well presented. The entertainment, events and classes are excellent. There is often something for the residents to do. The gardens are lovely, with good seated areas. The care given by the staff has improved in the last 12 months.

Overall Richmond is very pleasant and welcoming.
The staff are always cheerful. The cleanliness and general upkeep is good. The care and attention to my fathers needs is excellent. The food is well prepared and there is a good choice of menu. Although my father is independent living, carers will "look in" on him to ensure he is okay. This is great peace of mind for me to know that he is well looked after.

I have written a separate testimonial for the care. The standard of care, attention and friendliness there is crucial to my mother's physical and mental wellbeing. Another area to be recommended is the entertainment. Over the last couple of years there have been regular activities catering for a variety of interests. Events and visiting acts are generally of a high quality and suited to the age bracket. The gardens are a unique and special feature for which unsurprisingly awards have been won. Richmond is generally well run. Management are approachable and listen to concerns. In terms of the environment it is clearly attractive and comfortable. The catering has improved significantly over the last year which is important as residents enjoy meal times.

The home itself is very well decorated but that does not mean good care. For the money my mother is paying, I expect more attention to the bed making and the cleaning away of dishes and the standard and variation of food needs drastic action in our opinion. My mother loves it there but did expect a lot more attention to little details. The staff are friendly but at times lacking in their job.

Coming to live in Richmond village was one of the vest decisions I have ever made. I have been here now for three years and have never had a problem that couldn't be resolved. The staff are without exception kind and helpful. I think they go above and beyond what could be expected of them. The property I have (an apartment) is attractive and comfortable and the surrounding gardens and leisure area are kept superbly well. I would recommend Richmond Village to everyone.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Patrick M (Husband of Resident) on Tuesday 21 June 2016. Relates to June 2016.
I write to recommend the 5 star Richmond Village Care Centre where my wife haw been a resident for 21 months. For the past 10 months she has been incapacitated and confined to bed on an air mattress. She can no longer feed herself and requires feeding a soft diet only and plenty of fluids. In 2012 she fractured her left humerus which required surgery and sadly an anaesthetic cock up resulted in her becoming doubly incontinent so that changing her requires 2 carers each time. In 2014 she fractured her right humerus which could not be repaired. I visit her for 4 hours a day. I am a retired consultant.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Helen J (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 17 June 2016. Relates to June 2016.
Both my parents are in this home, this is both their third home and the difference from the others is outstanding:
1. Excellent, warm welcome from staff and management.
2. Quality of rooms and lounge/dining areas - excellent.
3. Interest and care shown to both parents - excellent, follow-up appointments care concerns all updated smoothly and efficiently by staff and management. Regular calls made to family updating them on GP visits/medication/health/mobility changes and concerns.
4. Quality of food is excellent. Lovely home cooked smells and flavour to meals. Meal/size and care taken with vegetables sizes to ensure eating enjoyable and not a hazard.
5. Thoughtful activities such as bingo relating to the age etc.
6. Residents able to sit outside and watch the world go by, as sun protection in gazebo in front garden, regular drinks and sun screen available to residents who can experience a reasonable time enjoying the surrounding area. Such a tonic and feel good factor all round for both family and residents.
7. Lovely relaxed home atmosphere and both my parents recent entry to the home in Feb/April 2016 has helped them settle in and relax and enjoy being well cared for. A quest for both family and loved ones over the last three years and all can look forward to enjoyment the rest of their lives - worry free - highly recommended.

I have visited Richmond Nantwich numerous times and played an active part in some of the super events they organise. Crewe and Nantwich Senior Forum are dedicated to making a difference to the health and well-being of older people. I have to say we are
always made really welcome. Staff are very generous, attentive, and always care for my needs. I appreciate, that as a wheelchair user, their attention to detail. The ambience is always upbeat and vibrant. The surroundings so clean and refreshing. The garden is a lovely space to spill out into during the summer weather. Actually as I consider our partnership working, I think what Richmond is trying to achieve. It can only be regarded as a great asset to the community - one that is growing from strength to strength. One in which the community group I represent, are proud to be contributing to.

He could be very grumpy sometimes but the staff always managed to make him smile.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Christine F (Friend of Resident) on Saturday 21 May 2016. Relates to December 2015.
When my elderly neighbour moved into Richmond Village, I began visiting her on a regular basis and quickly became aware of the friendly but professional approach by the staff and management towards their residents and visitors. I often dropped in unannounced, sometimes to be told by Reception that my friend was having her hair done, listening to a concert or taking part in an activity, but please go along.
I was mayor from 2014-2015 and was regularly invited to barn dances, carol concerts, school concerts, presentation evenings and charity events. Richmond has an open door policy and warmly encourages the local community to share in its social activities with the residents.
Nantwich In Bloom also benefits from a partnership with the Village and plays host to the judges whenever they visit. The grounds are well planned and tended, my friend was a keen gardener and wandered round with the gardener sharing information.
I am very pleased to provide this review.

He amongst a cross section of retired people who provide a rich, stimulating environment for him. The staff care for and encourage him. The environment is of a really high standard decor and furnishings are top class and the food is delicious. Relatives and friends are welcome at all times. I find it a happy place to visit and wouldn't be disappointed to find myself there one day.

I can't thank the care home enough for the tremendous are offered to my mother since her arrival at the home in March 2015. After an initial reluctance to move into assisted living, she now considers Richmond Village home for all the right reasons. Everyone goes that extra mile treating mum as a valued person in her own right. Her mobility, dexterity and general demeanour has improved beyond expectation due to the staffs attention to detail. A truly professional organisation. Thank you.
