I am sorry that your experience of our care home has not been a positive one so far. I would really appreciate it if you could meet with our Care Home Manager and our Dementia Lead Nurse to se how we can best care for your father whilst he remains in our care.

Feedback would be that doors could be difficult to manage for a disabled person, the bathroom door in my dad's room could stick and be very difficult for even an able-bodied person to open.
Sometimes it could be difficult to find staff.
Reply from Joanne Wilson, Village Manager at Richmond Villages Aston-on-Trent
Thank you for your kind comments. It was a pleasure to look after your Father during his short stay. I will ensure that the issue raised regarding the doors is addressed by our maintenance team. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.749) out of 10 for Richmond Villages Aston-on-Trent 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.749 for Richmond Villages Aston-on-Trent is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.749
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 Aston-on-Trent is based on 14 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 14 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.

Job Title: Village Manager
Joined: 2019
Here at Aston on Trent, we are keen to build trusting and respectful relationships with our residents through delivering friendly, responsible and well-led services by an exceptional team of people.
I look forward to welcoming you to our village where our fantastic hospitality and care services are provided in a stunning environment, creating a vibrant community in which residents live longer, healthier and happier lives.
Job Title: Head of care
Head of Care for Aston-on-Trent Richmond villages.
Job Title: Domiciliary Care Manager
Joined: 2017
I have worked at Richmond for nearly 7 years, I joined Richmond as a domiciliary care assistant and then moved to a senior domiciliary care assistant before taking on the domiciliary care manager role nearly 3 years ago. Before joining Richmond I worked as a domiciliary carer in the local community for 7 years.
I enjoy working at Richmond as you get to build strong relationships with the people you look after and you get to them before needing care as you see them around the village. This really helps as you ae able to notice when people start to decline and are able to support them to make a person centred care plan around their needs and wishes.
I manage a team of carers that provide care to people that live in independent and assisted living apartments. The care calls are booked in advance at their time preference and for how long they wish the care call to be. We can support people with personal care, dressing, medication administrating, cleaning, support to activities and to the restaurant. We are also able to offer companionship calls, shopping calls and assistance to doctors and hospital appointments etc
Before I worked in adult care I worked in child care where I started as a nursery nurse and worked my way up to be a manager of a 120 placed nursery.
I have always enjoyed caring for people and helping them get the best out of their lives.
Job Title: Senior Village Advisor
Joined: 2019
I have been working for Richmond Villages for 5 years. I take great satisfaction in ensuring that our customer's needs are met and they get the right care and support required.
Before working at Richmond Villages, I gained extensive sales and customer service experience in management and director-level roles in real estate.
I look forward to being able to help our customers take the next step in their move into our retirement village.
Job Title: Village Advisor
I have worked for Richmond Villages for nearly 2 years with previous experience being within both management and valuing roles in both corporate and independent residential estate agency companies across the east midlands. There is a great sense of achievement when a new family move into our village, as it becomes very apparent that they will be able to start their later life in an environment that is aimed at enjoyment and a healthier lifestyle. To be a part of that is priceless.
Job Title: Head of Hospitality
With over 27 years of experience as a chef, I have had the privilege of working in diverse catering environments, ranging from café-style dining to à la carte cuisine. My journey in the culinary world began in the hotel and restaurant sector, where I honed my skills for many years. A decade ago, I ventured into the care sector and discovered a new passion. I started as a part-time chef in a care home, where I developed a keen interest in the science of nutrition and the importance of providing high-quality meals tailored to individual dietary needs. Collaborating closely with speech and language therapists, as well as dietitians from the NHS, I became well-versed in this critical aspect of care. Over the years, I worked my way up to the position of Development Chef for a major care company. I am now excited to embark on this new journey with Richmond Villages.
Job Title: Head of Activities
Joined: 2021
Prior to joining Richmond Village in September 2021, I worked as a Project Manager in the automotive industry. I initially joined Richmond Villages as an Activities Co-Ordinator, before moving into the Head of Activities role in March 2023. I love supporting the Activities Team in planning and delivering a wide and varied programme of activities and events for all our residents at Richmond Villages. I am lucky to live in Aston-on-Trent and have close links and good relationships within the wider community through my work with local schools, businesses, groups and charities, which greatly benefit our residents.
