One of the pioneers in bringing the retirement village concept to the UK, Richmond Villages have been designing, building and operating their own villages since 1996. The company currently operates five luxury retirement villages located in Cheshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. Construction of new villages at Witney, Oxfordshire began summer 2014, and has recently started at Aston-on-Trent, Derbyshire. One of the leaders in the retirement living sector, Richmond Villages has established a reputation for the provision of quality service and care, and won numerous awards. The accommodation at a Richmond Village includes Village Apartments offering an independent lifestyle; Village Suites which come with an all-inclusive package to help with the daily chores; and a Care Home providing 24-hour nursing and dementia care. Richmond provide excellent facilities for their residents including a wellness spa with swimming pool and gym, hair and beauty salon, a library, IT room, restaurant and bar. Although being part of a social community, another important factor for residents when moving to a Richmond Village is the support and care services provided which includes a care team on-site 24 hours a day. In fact, a Richmond Village can have up to 150 employees including drivers, maintenance, gardeners, hospitality, housekeeping, administration and reception, and obviously the care team. Richmond Villages is part of Bupa, a leading healthcare provider offering a range of products and services, including health assessments, physiotherapy, health insurance and 280 care homes. With no shareholders, Bupa can invest its profits back into the services it offers so that it can continue to help improve health and wellbeing. Bupa’s purpose is:
Longer, Healthier, Happier, Lives
