My sister came to Letcombe Regis after she decided that she could no longer cope in her London flat. My husband and I visited before a final decision was made and we were very impressed by the Home, the surroundings and particularly the staff we met. So, in September 2022 we moved her and we have never
regretted that decision.
The care she has received has been exemplary, the staff unfailingly kind and, whilst my sister cannot really appreciate them, the surroundings beautiful.

My aunt first moved into Richmond Villages in September 2024. She was in hospital when she had a fall and damaged her face and needed to go to a care home for her safety. A Richmond Village employee visited her hospital and she moved to the home when she was discharged. She has been met with kndness
and patience. She has adjusted to being in the home with the help of staff. She is encouraged to join in all activities and performances which she enjoys.

I write this review from my position as an 'Independent Unit' resident, whose husband has been transferred from our apartment to the care home. The care and support he is experiencing there is excellent. Even though his Parkinson's condition is overwhelming.
I cannot praise the staff enough for their
consistent patience and overall care. Richmond Villages, Letcombe Regis has timed out to be the very best option for us in our declining years, allowing residents to remain in their homes whilst having care facilities convenient on-site. I have marked some as satisfactory, but also mean it to be 'good', as my husband's condition can only allow him to experience everything to a certain level.

My mother arrived at Richmond Villages, Letcombe Regis, in November. It was a very stressful time but she settled in quickly, and it was not long before I felt a weight had lifted. The admin staff have held my hand throughout. Personalised care plan, and on hand up-to-date information for the carers
offers reassurance. Lovely staff organise activities in the afternoons. The level of care, dedication, empathy, and warmth provided by the carers is truly above expectation (my mother moved from another care home to be closer to me, she is 98).
My mother is safe and happy. Thank you.

Reply from Emma Worrell, Care Home Manager at Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. Mum truly is a pleasure to be around, I am glad she settled so easily into RV Letcombe Regis, new environments can be unsettling, but Mum really is part of our family now. I personally have also loved getting to know you and the family dogs. You have become a familiar face for all the staff and I know how much the other residents enjoy your visits too.

My Mother moved into Sycamore in the summer of this year. Over the past 5 months what has struck me has been the warmth and care with which the team works with the residents. It is demanding work for them and yet so often they turn up with a smile.
There have been a few times when I have needed to
give feedback on the service. It has always been well received by the care manager and either changes made or the rationale explained.

Thank you for your lovely words. I will make sure the staff Team sees your review as Team feedback is key to driving standards of service provision and customer improvements.

This review pertains to Sycamore Unit on the Care Floor at Richmond Village Letcombe Regis and does not offer any opinion on other aspects of care at the same facility such as Assisted Living. I will post a separate review for that area of care at a later date.
I would like to give my profound thanks
to all staff on Sycamore for the outstanding level of exceptional care they recently gave my father in about the last six weeks of his life. We could not have asked for better. Without exception, all the staff were very loving and did everything they could to make my father feel comfortable and deeply cared for. They were also very supportive of the family at a difficult time, were always available to us, and sent frequent updates. Everything was handled very sensitively and with great attention to detail. This gave my father and his family total peace of mind. I could not recommend the Sycamore Unit more highly. A huge thank you to the head of care and all her staff for outstanding work.

Reply from Emma Worrell, Care Home Manager at Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a warm review. Everyone enjoyed having your father with us, not just the Care Floor but the wider Richmond Village Community. Our Team understand that relatives cannot always be present but with facetime, telephone calls and emails everyone can maintain daily contact. The music and readings you sent were shared by our admin and care staff, and touched each and every one of us too. I will make sure the whole Team see your lovely words.

I found my stay here very rewarding.
All the staff were individually kind and caring.
I particularly liked that as my door was open, visitors and staff knocked gently before coming into my room.
My one complaint is that there was no grab handle in the shower to hold onto.
Because of this, I needed
a carer to support me whilst showering.
Surprised there was no telephone in the room until it was requested. The mobile signal is genuinely very responsive.
I would definitely ask to come again if necessary.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We thoroughly enjoyed having you with us. I will take your points to the appropriate team with regard to the grab rail and landline connectivity. I will let all the Team see your kind words. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

Mum came to Richmond Village for palliative care. From the moment she arrived, we knew she was going to be cared for with dignity, kindness, and respect. All the staff really were amazing to Mum, but also to us, her family, and friends who wanted to visit Mum in her final weeks. Thank you to all who
cared for Mum, you are all truly wonderful.

This is a review of Maple at Richmond Village Letcombe Regis. I would like to say a big thank you to the care home manager and her team on Maple. My Nanna moved to Maple from her flat in the main area of the village centre after she became very unwell. As soon as Nanna arrived she was treated with such
care and respect and this has continued over the last month. The managers, nurses, carers, and maintenance teams know her and us. They treat Nanna warmly- chatting and laughing with her, taking care of and adapting to her changing needs, and enabling her to join in with the various activities, meals, etc that take place. There is a warm, calm, responsive, and supportive atmosphere in Maple. I am very grateful for the communication about my Nanna's care and well-being and feel confident that she is in the right place. Not only has the team looked after my Nanna but also my family in what has been a stressful few weeks.

Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review. I know it is always difficult when health needs change and moving to a care Floor can sometimes be daunting. Thank you too for working with the whole Care Team to help us settle her in and get her back to health. She really is growing from strength to strength.

When my mother became unwell this summer, Richmond Letcombe Regis was her choice for recuperation. When I visited to look around I was immediately struck by the friendly atmosphere and the sense of community.
Unfortunately, by the time Mum arrived at Richmond, it was for palliative care.
Prior to
her moving, she was visited in hospital by the Home Manager. This was a mark of the level of care she would receive.
On her arrival, she was given such a warm welcome and instantly, I saw her relax. The care she received was full of skill and compassion. It was calm and gentle and the staff took time and care to tend to her - both physically and emotionally. This is true of all staff.
Her stay was relatively short, but her friends were welcomed and cared for. We, her family, experienced warmth and support during this very intense period.
Reflecting on Mum's last days, I feel immense gratitude and thanks towards the entire team.

Reply from Emma Worrell, Care Home Manager at Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It truly was an honour to care for your mother, although her stay with us was short, she touched so many of our lives too whilst she was here. Having that quiet space for family and friends to be with their loved ones, truly is one of the special moments made possible in Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis. I will pass on your thanks to the whole team.

Without hesitation, I recommend Richmond Letcombe Regis to anyone seeking professional nursing care. The quality of care I received far exceeded my and my family's expectations and has accelerated my return to good health and mobility. I required a period of rehabilitation after suffering two accidents
and undergoing two operations I had in 6 months which left me with severely impaired mobility. On arrival, I was welcomed by a senior manager and shown to my spacious and well-equipped room. The team of carers immediately made me feel at home with their patience, sympathy and support. The nursing staff were very knowledgeable and professionally administered drugs and pain relief precisely on time. They were also generous with their time and advice. The personal trainer team also made a significant contribution to my physical well-being with their skills and constant encouragement. All the ancillary staff also made my well-being a priority. With the help of the whole care team, my recovery has progressed far more than I anticipated 4 weeks ago and I count myself fortunate to have chosen Richmond Letcombe Regis for my nursing and rehabilitation.

Reply from Emma Worrell, Care Home Manager at Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was so lovely to be able to spend some quality time with you. I am proud of our team and the work everyone put in to help you get back up on your feet - keep up the good work.

Our first meeting with Front of House was excellent and we decided that my husband should have a 4-week stay. We were told to arrive after 2 pm on Tuesday 7th May and we would have a reserved parking space as my husband has mobility problems. No one seemed to know we were expected, no parking spaces
no one to meet us. A member of staff eventually arrived to take us to Sycamore we chose a room but it needed the bed moving. We waited for over an hour to speak to anyone and even the next day the bed was still in the same place blocking access to the bathroom. I have many more complaints! You need checking in and out system.

We are so sorry that your Respite stay experience at Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis was not up to the high standard you would rightfully expect. Our priority is always to give the best Customer Service possible to all our Residents. We take the well-being and satisfaction of our Guests extremely seriously. Whilst we do have an admission process in place your comments will help action improvements. Having spoken to you thank you for your kind comments about the Care Home which you found to be very good, great care, and kind and friendly staff. Every Resident comes to Letcombe Regis with different requirements and it is not always possible to meet these instantaneously. Sometimes even with the best intentions clothing can be mislaid and I know you welcomed the goodwill gesture to cover the replacement of these items and the plant to apologise for our delayed response. Nonetheless thank you for taking the time to give us this valuable feedback.

My brother moved to Maple, Richmond Village Letcombe Regis in April 2022. Since then, I have been a constant and regular visitor. I have always found my brother very well cared for. The staff are professional, friendly and engaged with the residents and always available if there are any issues for discussion.
It is obvious from my brother’s demeanour that he feels secure and content with the care he receives in Maple.

My 93-year-old Mum contracted pneumonia at the beginning of January this year while living at home and although she had received wonderful care when in hospital for 6 weeks she still was too frail to return home. At very short notice all the staff involved in admitting new patients at Richmond Villages,
Letcombe Regis did an amazing job in assessing her needs and making a room available to her for a three-week respite rest. When I arrived at the care home with my Mum all the staff were very welcoming. She has been in the care home for 3 days now and having met/spoken to several of the staff, as well as speaking with my Mum over the phone, I can say she is very well looked after by all the lovely staff and feels very safe in their capable hands, which gives both my Mum and I great peace of mind.

Since Mum moved here I have had complete peace of mind knowing that she is very well looked after and is safe. She has all her needs fully met 24/7. All the staff are friendly and go out of their way to make her feel valued and treat her as an individual. When we have been around within the village,
several staff say hello and address her by name. The design and decor of the main areas is fantastic and provide a variety of seating areas for you to sit quietly or to be able to chat if you so wish. I highly recommend Sycamore, the nursing unit here.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.577)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.577) out of 10 for Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 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 27 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 4.577 for Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 350 Ratings = 4.577

  • 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 Letcombe Regis is based on 27 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 27 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.

Paul Welch

Job Title: Head of hospitality

I have been with the company since Richmond Painswick was built, many years ago!


I was moved over to Richmond Villages Letcombe in the early build stage to help commission the Hospitality, Housekeeping and Laundry areas and after a few years was promoted to Deputy Village Manager.


I really enjoy the role and meeting our residents, working alongside and supporting our fantastic staff, every day brings something different.

Job Title: Head of Activities

Hi, my name is Carol, and I am the activities and wellbeing manager at Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis.


I have been in this industry for around 18 years now. Started by caring for my nan for three years then Dom care, carer in care home, to what I am doing now. I have three children, two dogs and two cats. I love walking, cooking, and reading a book. Making a difference to those that live with us is a passion not a job. It can be very challenging at time but, so rewarding.
