Welcome to Richmond Villages Bede

My husband recently stayed at Richmond Village in The Retreat for respite care. It provided assisted living as he does not need full care facilities yet. He was made very comfortable, it provided home from home facilities. The staff were very attentive, friendly & supportive, They were happy to fulfil his every need, The apartment was well furnished, it was as if he was on holiday for the couple of weeks that he was there. He did need some care but whatever is needed can be provided. He had a cooked breakfast every morning & a three course dinner at lunchtime with a light tea. His only moan was that he auffers from Coeliac disease which means he has to have a gluten free diet & he thought6 that on occasion he would of liked a bit more choice. However that was his only comment. We were also well informed & prepared beforehand. The Staff were happy to accomodate us where necessary, allowing us leeway with times, etc., We hope to use it again & would happily recommend.

My parents have had short stays at Bede and really enjoyed it. Carol and her team provide an exemplary welcome and support and the whole village is very welcoming and beautifully kept. My parents are considering moving to Bede and we know they would be very well supported.

My brother moved here just over a year ago. It took a while but he's now settled and happy in his apartment with assisted living. He's enjoying the interaction with the other residents and the independence the village provides. The situation is very close to the M6 but the constant noise doesn't seem to concern him. He likes the gardens and in particular the fish pond. He finds it very restful. He also finds the staff friendly and helpful. So thank you Bede Village.

My husband and I have recently purchased a bungalow at Bede Village. From our very first contact with Carol McDyre, the Senior Village Adviser we knew we were in safe hands. At a time that was extremely stressful, she carried us through the process of purchasing the bungalow, solving any problems we came up against. She definitely went above and beyond during that time. Thank you Carol.

Just visited Richmond village open day, with a view for our mother-in-law to stay fabulous. Accommodation staff couldn't do enough for us. And the food was like eating in a 5 star restaurant highly recommend.
