My Father had severe vascular dementia and we moved him to Richard House. From the outset, he was settled and happy due to the wonderful care he received and the bright/cheerful atmosphere. As a family, we were also treated with professional kindness. Sadly, Dad only lived at Richard House for 1 month, passing very suddenly. On this day, again the staff did everything they could to care for Dad and us. We are so happy that he enjoyed the last 4 weeks of his life at Richard House.
Thank you so much for your kind words during what must be a very difficult time. It was a privilege to care for your father, and we're honoured to know he felt settled and at peace at Richard House.

Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care, not only for our residents but also for their families, and we're glad that you felt supported throughout. We're deeply grateful that we could make his final weeks as comforting as possible. Please know that our thoughts are with you and your family.

Myself and my husband were under pressure to find somewhere for Mum and looked at several care homes in Grantham.
We called without appointment at Richard House and were met with care and compassion by the manager introducing us to staff including the activities co-ordinator who showed us around the lovely facilities, for example the in-house cinema, bedrooms, dining rooms and activity rooms.
The manager took a thorough assessment of Mum's needs offering to deal with the financial matters, liaising with her CEO and Adult Social Care insisting that we relax whilst she established a placement for Mum.
Mum was invited to look round selecting one of two lovely rooms complete with en-suite and facilities to help with her mobility needs.
Absolutely nothing has been too much trouble for the manager at Richard House, we simply cannot thank her enough for her first class service, we are sure Mum will be very happy.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We understand how stressful it can be to find the right care home at short notice, and we're so glad that Richard House could offer the care and support you needed during this time. It's wonderful to hear that our manager and team provided a warm...

Myself and my wife looked at several care homes in Grantham, then called unannounced at Richard House.
The manager there took time and trouble to ensure that we were thoroughly shown around the home which is warm and welcoming. The manager recognised we were distressed about having to move Mum insisting we relax whilst she attended to the financial matters speaking to her CEO, Adult Social Care and the County Council's contracts manager.
Mum was given a choice of two lovely rooms, both en-suite with lovely decoration and furnishings complete with necessary aids to living to help Mum with her mobility needs.
Absolutely nothing has been too much trouble for the manager and the staff at Richard House, this has made a difficult time much easier for us and most importantly Mum who has settled immediately into her new home.
We simply cannot thank the manager and staff enough for what they have done for Mum.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience. We're truly touched by your kind words and are so glad we could make a difficult time easier for you and your family.

I have found since the new manager has taken over at Richard House it is going downhill. The staff no longer seem happy in their work, they still take good care of the residents. My mum is on the 2nd floor and I find her bored all the time. The first floor is always doing things. Just because mum has dementia she still has a brain that needs to keep working, she used to do magic painting and colour books but now nothing for any of them.

When I was struggling with caring for Dad at home, Richard House wrapped us in a big hug and helped everything be ok. Nothing was too much trouble and after attending for some day sessions to give me a break, the staff gently talked me through their thoughts on him and managed his transition to a full-time resident with compassion. Dad has now been a resident for over a year and whilst his condition means that he is unsettled and confused, the staff (including maintenance, housekeeping and catering - not just the care staff) take the time to interact with him and keep him safe. Any concerns I have had have proven unfounded - there's so much goes on behind the scenes to keep residents healthy, well fed and entertained. I have recommended the service to others and those who have used it have also been very impressed with the staff, surroundings and care. Well done team - you gave me my life back and helped Dad make the most of his too!

Our team, from maintenance and housekeeping to catering and care, truly appreciate your recognition of their dedication and hard work.
If I could have given this place 0 stars I would. My mum stayed here for 6 days, very poor care. Care record given to another resident was put against my mum, none given to my mum.

If I could have given this place 0 stars I would. My mum stayed here for 6 days, very poor care. Care record given to another resident was put against my mum, none given to my mum. Staff apologised for this mistake and said it would not happen again but the next day exactly the same. They say the right things but don't deliver. Had to get the CEO involved and tried to ring the home 5 times but no one answered. Don't use this place if you want your relatives to be looked after.

My Father arrived at this care home just over a week ago, after a negative experience with his previous home. From the moment he entered the building, he was enveloped in care and friendship and it was like a light being turned back on in his life. The amount of time taken to find out the little things about my Dad before his arrival was amazing. He loves the staff - they are friendly and caring, and the level of care and attention he is now getting is so much more comprehensive than where was before. Anita who coordinates the activities deserves a special shout-out! As a relative, I also find the staff very friendly and approachable. I feel confident that my Dad is safe with them. I can also recommend the cakes that they leave at reception!

All staff are so friendly and welcoming. I visit a friend, I have had some dinners with her. Staff go above and beyond to help us. Must say, Richard House is a lovely place. The overall decor is lovely. I have been on a few visits and the bins in the bedroom and bathroom have been full to the brim and little untidy, but then on other times very clean and tidy. That's the only negative thing I can say. Well done and keep up with the good work. And must say, the activities lady is so nice and very knowledgeable.

Aunty had an issue with not having a shower for a week's stay, she did ask maybe not at the correct time but no system to pick this up. I have been told that this has been addressed and is on the system for future residents on respite. I have said 'respite' is different and needs different methods...
The staff were extremely diligent with Aunty from a food issue. Twice picking up she can't eat. They were very good at following these through on both occasions.
She returned for a pamper day hosted by a particular member of staff and was made to feel most welcome.
