Couple-friendly care comes to Letcombe Regis

Helping couples to remain together despite personal care or nursing needs has inspired the latest development at Richmond Villages Letcombe Regis, Oxfordshire.

The home’s new two-bedroom care apartment is designed to suit couples who both have 24-hour nursing needs, complete with numerous homely comforts and modern care technology, including electrically adjustable profile beds.

Pleased to open the new apartment, which includes access to a fully-furnished living room and allows occupants to personalise their surroundings, managing director Paddy Brice is delighted to offer this innovative form of care that might very well be unique to Richmond Village.

Mr Brice comments: “This new care apartment is ideal for those who want their own living space, yet need care to be delivered on a 24 hour basis with minimum disruption. With two bedrooms, it is ideal where either partner needs nursing care, leaving the other free to enjoy being part of a sociable community where numerous activities are close at hand.

“We have developed this apartment after being asked by a number of potential clients for nursing care where they can stay together but not just within a twin room. As a complete apartment within the care home, this means people can still live together in a more independent environment, yet with all the benefits of 24 hour nursing care close at hand.”

Richmond Letcombe Regis itself consists of 51 en-suite rooms and is located within 36-acre landscaped grounds, with lakeside gardens and a nature reserve, as well as leisure facilities that include a swimming pool, gymnasium, a health & beauty salon and a bowling green.
