About Richmond Manor

Richmond Manor is a nursing home in Bedford. We support older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing care, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays. Having registered nurses as part of the team means people whose health needs are complex can stay here as those needs change rather than having to move on again. That continuity is worth a great deal, particularly for somebody living with dementia, for whom familiar faces and surroundings are doing genuine work. Having younger adults as well as older residents means we do not run one programme and call it activities, because what suits one rarely suits the other. Somebody in their forties who needs nursing care has not reached the end of anything, and the worst thing a setting like ours can do is quietly treat them as a patient whose life is now their care. The clinical side is only part of a day and usually the smaller part. The rest is meals people want, help without a long wait, privacy, company, and being treated as somebody with a history. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. If you want to know what we are actually like, ask a relative who visits often.
