My close friend was resident in Richmond Bede Village for the last six months of her life. She went there from hospital having been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. As you can imagine never to go home again was a shock because her illness was totally unexpected. In her first few weeks there she was not helpful but the staff at Bede were patience itself. They just made her feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. As time progressed she settled in and her every need was catered for even down to her favourite food which was always available. The carers without exception are round pegs in round holes and seem to love what they do. Any dealings that I (as power of attorney) had with the management was on the whole dealt with quickly and efficiently. As my friend's illness progressed and she became less able to communicate the staff took the time to be sure as to what she wanted and that was not easy. In my friend's last few days her care was second to none. A friend who was with her said that she had not seen care like that before. Not only was she cared for but her friend as well. When my friend passed away it was with dignity, love and care. At all times when I was there over those last six months never once did I see her room needing cleaning, her washing not done, or anything that was asked for not given to her. This was also the experience of all of her visitors of whom there were many. The public areas are lovely and the fact that you can get a cup of very good coffee and freshly made cakes from their own kitchen is a bonus. In my view, this is one of the best nursing homes around and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
As a very experienced team of staff we are extremely proud of our care home and the care we give to our residents which is always bespoke to that resident. Our carers and our staff teams are able to apply the quality and personal touches that are needed in often very difficult and upsetting circumstances. I am so pleased that we managed to meet and exceed expectations.
Care is always paramount to their residents with a smile on their faces, staff clearly dedicated to their individual roles but working closely as a team to ensure the clockwork running of this establishment 24 hours a day. We will continue to return to entertain the residents and staff as required and recommend it highly to other entertainers in the industry.
My friends uncle was residing at Bede Village. He had an excellent experience and when he passed away, his wishes were to hold his wake at the village. He also requested for any donations to go to Bede.

Meet the Team (5)

Debra is the Village Manager at Richmond Villages Bede and has been part of the team for many years. She started her career at Bede as a Senior Administration Manager and took the position of Village Manager in June 2022.
Before joining Bede, Debra worked as a Finance Manager and Management Accountant, so she has a great understanding of the operational side of businesses. She has a wealth of experience in all aspects of our business and oversees all day-to-day functions to ensure the village runs to the standards expected. Debra is dedicated to her staff, residents and villagers and wants to make sure they have the best experience possible here at Bede.
Outside of work, her passion is her family, and she loves to spend as much time with them as possible.

Tina joined Bede in 2007 as a Registered Nurse, in 2012 she had the fantastic opportunity to take on the role of Care Home Manager. In 2022, Tina was successful in becoming the Deputy Village Manager alongside her current role, and she now supports the Village Manager with the day-to-day running of Richmond Villages Bede.
Tina loves working within the Team at Bede. She is focused on providing compassionate and effective care for the residents and their families. She also thrives on bringing the best out of my staff to ensure that everyone works to the highest standard possible. She strongly believes that everyone deserves access to high-quality, person-centred care and support, and Tina loves that she can be part of this.
Outside of work Tina enjoys Pilates, spending time with family and ticking off her bucket list at any opportunity.

Maggie joined Richmond Villages Bede Village in August 2014 as the Domiciliary Care Manager.
Following university, her working career started with people with learning disabilities for Coventry City Council, as a Day Centre Officer and a Residential Social Worker.
This was preceded by 15 years of working in Children’s Services within the Youth Justice System. As a Head of Care, Maggie became accustomed to working within the constraints of the CQC, Ofsted and other similar regulatory frameworks.
Seeking a new challenge, yet wanting to remain in people services, Maggie has sought a diversified career in working with a more mature population.

Carol has worked at Richmond Village Bede since 2022, but it felt like home after 2 weeks.
Having spent 25 years working in the property sector, combining property with retirement and care seemed like a natural progression.
Working in a village environment gives Carol the opportunity to advise on different types of accommodation to suit different lifestyles and care needs.
It’s a unique place to both work and live.

Louise joined Richmond Villages in 2005 and still loves her job after 20 years! Her goal is to help our customers realise the high-quality lifestyle they deserve by joining our thriving community.
Louise and the team enjoy planning, organising, and facilitating a range of activities designed to promote the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of elderly or vulnerable individuals receiving care at Richmond Villages Bede.
