After an unpleasant time in hospital, we were able to get my father-in-law aged ninety-two moved to Richmond Painswick, very rapidly thanks to the efforts of the care home team. From our first meeting, the unbelievable care and professionalism of the whole team have been beyond reproach. They have all,
from management to the diligent cleaners have always treated us as members of the family, and treated my father-in-law as if he were their own. Even during the more stressful times of Covid they have supported us and eased the worry of having an aging loved one. Their empathy has meant that we are always treated with compassion, respect and also kept informed, no matter how busy they all are. A smile and the offer of a cuppa are all you need sometimes. The diligence of the team has meant that any change in his health is spotted and dealt with rapidly. And the atmosphere created is that of a 5-star hotel, just what my father-in-law deserves. Very impressed!

Reply from Cara Wood, Head of Care/Registered Manager at Richmond Villages Painswick

Thank you very much for your kind words, It certainly uplifts the morale of all the team who do go above and beyond. I will pass on to them all. It is at absolute pleasure to support your father-in-law and we do pride ourselves on ensuring we imbed a family support network. A cuppa Tea is certainly always on hand. Best wishes from, All at Richmond Villages Painswick.

I found being here after a spinal fusion operation, really a very pleasant experience. Everyone from the manager to the nurses, carers were cheerful, obliging, and caring. Not a crossword to be heard!
The meals were delicious, nourishing, and enjoyable. A good variety was available.
My room was nicely
furnished and comfortable.

After a traumatic and emotional experience in another care home, we moved Mum/gran into Richmond Care Home Painswick. Right from the first time we spoke to the team, they accepted us into their family, within 24 hours mum/gran was moved in. Her room was so homely and the team couldn’t do enough to ensure
her comfort. The staff are phenomenal, the support they have given us, helped us more than they will ever know. Mum/gran was able to receive the best nursing care during her final weeks/days, her comfort was their number one priority. We were able to spend quality time with Mum/Gran reminiscing with the team. We cannot recommend this care home enough, we only wish we had found it sooner.

Reply from Cara Wood, Head of Care/Registered Mananger at Richmond Villages Painswick

Dear Samantha and Family, thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to support and care for your Mum/Gran. We are so very grateful for your review and will pass it on to the whole team. Please stay in touch and join us at our events as they start again and we share special memories for your Mum/Gran. Best wishes from all of us here at Richmond Painswick.

My wife arrived at Painswick in late February, having spent two difficult and uncomfortable weeks in hospital. (No problems with the medical treatment). On arrival, she was made most welcome and quickly settled into the ‘Painswick’ way of life. The general improvement in health and mindset quickly became
apparent as a result of the care she was receiving. I have regularly visited the home - COVID-19 permitting - and always found the staff (from reception to carers most helpful). My wife now calls Richmonds her second home. The way she is and has been looked after gives me and the family great comfort. Our grateful thanks to all involved.

Reply from Cara Wood, Head of Care at Richmond Villages Painswick

Thank you very much for your kind review, we are so pleased your wife is enjoying life and feels so comfortable at Richmond Painswick Care Home. It is certainly a great pleasure to have her. Thank you for taking the time to express your gratitude, it is very much appreciated by all.

I am not able to discuss these details as my husband in an inpatient in hospital undergoing rental investigations and dialysis due to kidney failure. He gets extremely confused at times, but whilst in the care home was very happy and relaxed and we were able to talk to him by Zoom. I wish to thank all
the staff.

It was an absolute pleasure to have your husband stay with us, thank you so much for taking the time to send us your thoughts, I will of course pass on your kind thoughts to the whole staff team.

Overall we enjoyed our 4 week stay and benefitted from it. It was like living in a welcoming hotel with nursing available. The staff tried very hard to please and we think they succeeded. The down marking of the rooms is only because of the complete disregard for safety in the bathrooms. It is a waste
of excellent fixtures and fittings. The rating related to the care home only.

Reply from Daniel McAuley, Senior Village Advisor at Richmond Villages Painswick

Thank you so much for taking the time to send through your kind response, it really was a pleasure to have you both here in the village for those four weeks with us. We always welcome feedback and we have taken the opportunity to rectify the missing grab rail, sadly it was not fitted before the lockdown restricted the fitter from finishing off the new bathroom so I do apologise for that oversight.

I visited Richmond Painswick for a fortnight in January as a respite care resident.
I found it met all my needs and the staff were friendly and coped with my disabilities very well, which is unusual because I cannot swallow and feed with a gastric tube.

My mother has been staying at Richmond since the middle of March, and I have completed this review. Generally, she has settled very well and finds the staff caring and responsive. The food is excellent, and Mum enjoys eating with the other residents in the main dining room, despite the requirement to
socially distance at this time, which does make it harder to talk to people. She finds the waiting staff particularly kind and helpful as they always take the time to ensure she is sitting as comfortably as possible.
Mum appreciates being part of the care home community and the opportunity to socialise with the other residents. For example, today the residents were invited to help celebrate the birthday of a fellow resident by sharing a birthday cake.
Mum sometimes finds it noisy at night when the staff are talking to each other. They may not be aware of how their voices carry.

Reply from Daniel Mcauley, Senior Village Advisor at Richmond Villages Painswick

Thank you, Mary, for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Your Mum certainly seems very happy and is indeed an integral part of the community here in Painswick.

I have no previous experience of respite but needed recovery time after having elective hip replacement. The lockdown occurred within days, which entailed no visitors and none of the wellness services that required non-essential outside staff (physio, hairdressing etc). Good Wi-fi and Library. I felt
very well looked after although there were many and varied staff members supplemented by agency staff. Most staff were lovely and very caring. My room was excellent, with a patio door leading onto a Mediterranean courtyard which was a really comfortable hot spot. The upper-level terrace and outside seating were also very welcome, as I wanted to walk but did not feel like venturing into the gardens.
The menus had an excellent choice and the meals far better than I had anticipated. I have since missed being so well catered for. I could have eaten in either the care home restaurant or the general restaurant but chose to eat in my room. The catering staff were also friendly and caring.

Reply from Daniel Mcauley, Senior Village Advisor at Richmond Villages Painswick

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your feedback and thoughts.
We are so pleased to see such positivity, especially when the 'Lockdown' inhibited normal village life and activities so much.

Upon arrival at the care home I was warmly greeted and then escorted to my room. The room was bright and cheerful with a vase of fresh flowers on the windowsill. I was then shown how to operate the call system, adjust the bed and how the tv worked.
during my stay the care staff not only responded
quickly to the call button but provided caring help with my personal care - washing, showering, toileting and dressing. Senior staff would reguarly "pop in" to ask if I was comfortable and if I needed any additional support. There was a daily programme of activities for residents who were encouraged to participate.
I was recovering from from surgery for a replacement hip and I was encouraged to complete my daily exercise regime.
I benefited from my weeks respite care at Richmond, Painswick.

Having had a hip replacement I stayed at Richmond Painswick for just over 3 weeks. The overall care and commitment of all the staff were excellent at all times. The staff's attitude was supportive, friendly and encouraging throughout my stay. The food was well presented with a wide choice although at
times would have benefited from being hotter. I am sure my general health and recovery have been enhanced by the care I received at Richmond Painswick.

I was in Richmond Painswick for 1 week to enable my carer to have a break. I do not like being away from home where I know what I can do and can't do. I suffer from cancer and lack of mobility (Polio 80 years ago). I was treated in Richmond Painswick with very much kindness and respect. Life for me
was easy, with everything to hand and all meals provided. The bed (smaller than my own) was comfortable and helpfully adaptable. When I needed help the panic button brought really comforting help.

My aunt spent her final weeks in the care home at Richmond Painswick. I cannot fault the patience, understanding and compassion that was shown to her despite her often challenging behaviour. I was able to trust in the care that I knew she was receiving and appreciated the support that was given to me
and my family and my aunt's friends during a difficult time.

The care and attention I received from the staff at Richmond was superb. Recovering from a shoulder replacement I arrived at Richmond to a warm welcome and from the minute I stepped inside the door the staff were fantastic. Every member of staff always had a smile and ready to help.

I only stayed for 1 week's respite care at Richmond Painswick Village but I would highly recommend this care home to anyone wishing to spend a lovely time in a place to rest and recuperate for as long as they can. I wish I could have stayed for longer but hope to visit again.


Very comfortable, clean

and well managed. An unusual and lovely development among beautiful, peaceful scenery. I found the staff to be very kind and helpful also.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Richmond Villages Painswick is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.876 for Richmond Villages Painswick is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.876

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Richmond Villages Painswick is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
