Welcome to Richmond Villages Bede

It’s been a long struggle to convince mum it would be best for her health and wellbeing to move into Bede Village Assisted Living. Although temporary, hopefully she will feel the benefits eventually .and want to stay permanently. This was made possible with the excellent help and guidance from Carol. To be honest not sure whether this would have been the outcome if not for her patience, kindness and understanding All staff are amazing always cheerful and go out of their way to make sure mum is taken care of at all times.

The life style at Bede Village had completely changed my Dads life , in fact i would almost say its saved his life , the change in him from how he used to live in his old bungalow is immeasurable ! My dad lived on his own for many years in a detached bungalow and basically was just withering away the final journey with very little human interaction apart family , physically and mentally this was killing him , the change in his personality and mental ability is a joy to see , he talks to so many people in the village and interacts with others with activities and is a regular on the out of village trips , the move has regenerated him as a person and a human being , thankyou to all at the village that made this possible

Leaving 1 star only because 0 stars is not an option I would not wish the facility on my worst enemy. Do not send your loved ones here, the service our family received was awful, and when we complained we received a response with no apology, no indication that things would change in future and no regret for the stress that our family suffered. The management at this Home should be ashamed of themselves and I hope no other family has to suffer what we did.

The company were very helpful and understanding of my mum’s needs when we were looking for somewhere to buy. They have made her very welcome and all the staff are really friendly and helpful. The site offers good facilities and is very well laid out with gardens to relax and very safe to walk around. Definitely recommend the home.

My Dad just moved in to one of the assisted living apartments and we have been nothing but pleased and impressed with the village. The quality of the buildings and amenities, and of the restaurant, and the superbly well-maintained gardens and grounds make for a beautiful and comfortable living environment. However, the kind and considerate staff, friendly patient and hard-working, is what elevates this experience into something truly special. From the sales team (Carol, Leanne, Rachel) who inspired much confidence and guided us through the initial acquisition process, to the reception ladies, the cleaners, the handyman and the other staff who brighten each day with their positivity and smiles, this is a warm, welcoming and supportive environment that my Dad has adapted to living in with no difficulty at all. I - we - can heartily recommend.
