  • Richmond Villages Willaston, Nantwich
Richmond Villages Willaston is a Specialist Dementia Village inspired by the Dutch "household" model and is a sister village to Richmond Nantwich just a mile away.

The Village has six ground floor households, each accommodating six residents (couples are welcome) and features generously sized en-suite bedrooms, many opening out onto secure outside gardens or patios. Each also has a shared lounge, kitchen and laundry with the care and support team known as Household Assistants, on hand to help residents with early-onset dementia to be as independent as possible for as long as possible.

The first floor houses a 35-bed care home for residents requiring more advanced dementia care; here the rooms are generous and have en-suite wet rooms. Many rooms have stunning views across the surrounding fields and countryside and on clear days Beeston Castle can be seen in the distance.

Residents have access to dining rooms and lounges whilst on sunnier days the secure roof gardens can be enjoyed by all.

The village facilities include an urban spa with treatment rooms, a nail bar, a hair salon as well as accessible landscaped gardens, sun terraces and a bistro/café bar. For younger visitors there is a playground to make visiting more exciting; well-behaved pets are also welcome (though it's asked that they are kept on leads).

All household and care home rooms are decorated by a team of specialist interior designers and feature electric profiling beds, a range of furniture, TV, telephone and Wi-Fi access.

Following their sister Village's continued commitment to the local community, Richmond Willaston will be a central hub for Creating Dementia Friendly Nantwich and will strive to be part of both the immediate community of Willaston and those further afield.

My mum is a permanent resident at Richmond Villages, Willaston. I am so very happy with the care my Mum is receiving, all the staff are lovely and friendly and so supportive of Mum and her support needs; I do feel Mum is put at the centre of her own care. Everyone is treated as an individual. Her room
is lovely and spacious, all the facilities are outstanding, the food is amazing (especially the deserts!) and she often attends the entertainment that is regularly put on.
Moving Mum into care was extremely difficult and upsetting but it does make me feel so happy to hear my mum saying she now feels 'happy' and 'safe'.

We love having your Mum live with us at Richmond Willaston and thank you very much for taking the time to complete this review.

My sister was quite young when she was diagnosed with dementia. I wanted to find a care home for her that would give her as much independence as possible and to be stimulated and have the opportunity to socialise. Willaston has been ideal for her care. The staff are friendly and do seem to care for
all of the residents and I’m convinced that my sister gets the best care possible for her.

I care for my husband who has dementia and this was the first time we had tried somewhere for respite. The place is very well laid out and welcoming. It looks like a lovely hotel which has really helped my husband accept it. The household design is perfect as the lounge and kitchen area is more like
home. The carers are lovely, so caring and there is plenty of staff. The outdoor area is lovely and the Woodland walk with the kids play area is great. He enjoyed the food and settled surprisingly well. It is a great relief and we will definitely use Richmond Villages Willaston again.

I am delighted that Mum is at Richmond Villages. She is receiving the very best care (second to none) from the wonderful care/nursing staff, who are very passionate about their role and the care they provide; they consistently go the "extra mile". It is clear to see that residents are treated as their
family and given lots of love/attention and TLC.
The environment is beautiful. Mum actually thinks she's on holiday in Torguay; she loves being here and has improved significantly.
Management are always readily available to support relatives and are very professional, efficient and welcoming.
Thank you for everything!

My husband is now in Richmond Villages Willaston dementia home on the nursing floor. He has been received with love and care. I never expected the level of expertise shown by all parts of the team that look after him. He is safe, happy and content in an environment which is warm, exciting and full of
love. Although I wish I could have him at home, this is a place which is the nearest he can get due to his condition.

My mother has been in Richmond Villages Willaston over 18 months now and I can do nothing but praise the set up and especially the staff.
For the first 10 months, my mother lived in Household One. The household set up is incredible with units of six bedrooms and a communal lounge with access to outside
and a kitchen. Each bedroom is ensuite with its own patio area and of a very high quality. There are six of these households. There is a feeling of friendship and a lot of love and warmth. The staff are exceptional and very caring, nothing is too much trouble. Independent living is encouraged.
9 months ago my mother moved onto the care floor into a similar ensuite room, due to mobility issues. There are more staff with a greater variety of skills, including nursing staff. The care is exceptional and if anything does go wrong it is always rectified quickly.
There is also a complete team of activities staff arranging all sort of entertainment every day.
My mother being here puts my mind at rest.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Although the overall experience of my husband's respite care here was very positive (caring and respectful staff, good conditions and excellent food) there did arise a care issue, which I felt the home needed to address. Just prior to his stay, my husband broke his glasses and therefore needed a new
pair (at a cost of £547). These glasses were lost (permanently) within a short time of his arrival at the home and he started wearing someone else's prescription, which were then assumed by the staff to be his own. For a dementia patient, whose motor visual capacity are severely compromised anyway, this was not good. I raised the issue with the staff and am pleased to say that they are now going to review their practice of keeping a patients' glasses safe.

What a place, pretty much the best setup ever. Lovely residents! The staff are so very kind, compassionate and an absolute joy to be with. My parent's care has been exemplary. Richmond has been an absolute lifeline and nothing is too much trouble. The potential for this 'model' is endless. A very new
and steady setup, very exciting indeed. Keep going Richmond and all the staff, you are doing a great job, fantastic, 5 stars.

A residential care home is more than the building and the accommodation. Its staff are what makes it. The receptionists are welcoming friendly and very helpful - even making coffee for me when I visit my friend. The care staff are professional, caring and helpful. I would be happy to live here if the
need arises.

Two main points: Cleanliness and households are poor! I understand from staff no longer are there cleaners? They are busy caring for vulnerable people not cleaning as well. Fees increased I understand that but at over £1300 per week? BUPA should have proper facilities - especially with covid! Are the
CQC aware of this cut?
Also, meals are not prepared in house? Not part of the original concept for residents to maintain their ability to help out - 'a home from home?'

Mum has been in the care home for four months now. She settled well, and the home and carer have a relaxed atmosphere while still caring for Mum's needs. She is treated with dignity and respect and allowed to make her own choices/decisions while remaining safe and well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.707)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.707) out of 10 for Richmond Villages Willaston 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.707 for Richmond Villages Willaston is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 355 Ratings = 4.707

  • 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 Willaston is based on 28 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2, which has been reached with 28 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.
