We're a close family but we live very far away, and over three years, our mum got kind, generous, thoughtful care. During the pandemic lockdown, they took an iPad to her room every few days so we could do zoom and see each other. The door was never locked to us when we visited. We and other visitors
were always welcome. The staff were so upbeat and loving that, since mum passed, we miss them. The nurses were thoughtful. The home provided extra things to look forward to. Her food had to be pureed and yet they still made some of her favorite things. In three years of not being able to move, she never had a bedsore. On her 98th birthday, with travel restrictions in place, they decorated her room and made a party for her and for us on zoom. Nursing homes had always seemed sad places. But Richmond was not. It's beautiful and it's a haven of caring. We have precious memories of our visits there. The feeling of safety and trust made all the difference to us and our mum.

My mother was very reluctant to leave her own home but she took to the Richmond like a duck to water! This was in no small part due to the professional and genuinely caring attention she received throughout her sadly short time there.

My mother was a resident in Richmond over 4 years ago and was extremely well looked after until she passed away. When my Father was no longer able to look after himself at home, my sister and I had no hesitation in approaching Richmond to ascertain if they could provide similar care for him. The care
Dad has received over the past 12 months has been exceptional. His 100th birthday was just before the first lockdown and all sorts of celebrations were organised by the staff to celebrate this momentous occasion. Since March and the difficulties surrounding Covid-19 staff and management have done everything they can to protect the residents and to facilitate family visits and contact when visits were not possible. Phone calls and zoom calls were organised and visits outside when possible and inside in the newly constructed "Pod" when weather was inclement. Dad is very well looked after, he is settled and content and this is a great comfort to the family.

My father moved from another home where he'd hated the food and had a pretty bad time. He spent several months at Richmond, where the staff were caring and friendly and helped get him eating properly again. He enjoyed the quizzes and other activities they ran. During the earlier stages of Covid-19,
the home put in place sound measures to ensure infection was kept at bay, and later made arrangements to permit limited, safe visiting, which was much appreciated.

All of the staff are welcoming, friendly and professional. They interact well with the residents, ensuring their needs are met. Since the start of the pandemic, they implemented numerous controls and measures to keep the residents safe and prevent Covid infections from entering the care home, for which,
we are extremely grateful. When appropriate, they also facilitated visits, in a socially distanced manner outdoors, when the weather allowed. It is also easy to stay in touch using video calling, which is particularly important with other relatives around the world.

My mother (94-years) entered Richmond Care Home March 21st 2020. At first, she was very reluctant to leave her own apartment, but since dementia had set in and it was the beginning of the Covid crisis, we felt that she would be safer in Richmond. She had stayed there once before for a couple of weeks
when recovering from knee replacement surgery. At that time, we had been extremely impressed with the care and the facilities offered, so Richmond was an obvious choice for my mother. All I can say is that owing to the exceptional, indeed loving care, excellent food and a home from home environment, my mother settled in very quickly and happily. When I had the opportunity to visit, she never once mentioned returning to her apartment - this says it all! In fact, if my wife and I are ever in the situation of needing to be admitted to a care home, Richmond would be our first choice. All of the staff are a great credit to the caring sector.

Mum is 93, has dementia and needed to move into a care home at the start of the first Covid lockdown. I was very anxious about how she would settle in, knowing that she would not be able to have any visitors, but I needn't have worried. Richmond Nursing Home is in a perfect location on the shore, and
the view from the home is beautiful. We received a very warm welcome on arrival and had lots of opportunities to discuss Mum's problems with staff. Their approach to the pandemic was excellent, with a complete focus on the residents' safety. One of my biggest worries was Mum's strict dietary requirements. She must have both a gluten and lactose-free diet and even a tiny amount of gluten can make her ill. I am delighted to say that Mum is happy and has put on weight. A lot of care has been taken with her diet. Everyone seems very friendly. I can talk to her on FaceTime any time, and the staff are always happy to talk to me about any concerns. Overall, I am very happy!

The dedicated nurses provide excellent care for my Dad. I am promptly advised of any health issues or medication changes.
My Dad has an en-suite room with a sea view, which is kept spotlessly clean. Laundry facilities are also excellent.
All staff are friendly, polite, sympathetic and helpful.
The
dining room is beautifully decorated providing more of a fine dining experience than a canteen setting. The healthy food is homemade on the premises with good portion sizes, variety and choice.
My dad takes part in the activities, which include quizzes, art and craft, poetry reading, games and interesting talks. This contributes to a good social life within the home.
The excellent location means that I can take my dad for walks along the seafront.
Richmond is a well run and well-maintained nursing home. My dad has been living there for three years, and is well cared for and happy. As a daughter, I can highly recommend Richmond Nursing Home.
