About Richmond Village
Richmond Village Cheltenham provides nursing care in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. We support older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily life, we care for residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for people who need nursing care for a shorter period. Having nurses on site means health needs are met here as they arise, without people being moved about unnecessarily. Medication, wound care, nutrition, pain and changing health are managed carefully, and we work closely with visiting doctors and therapists so that decisions happen promptly and with the resident properly involved in them. Alongside that clinical side, we put real effort into ordinary life. Residents keep their own routines and belongings, they choose how much they want to be part of what is going on, and there is no expectation to join in for the sake of it. For people living with dementia we keep the day steady and familiar and give people the time they need, because being hurried is one of the surest ways to make a difficult moment worse. Relatives are welcome here as a matter of course, and we tell families promptly when something changes rather than waiting to be asked. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat that as the level we are expected to hold, and we would encourage anyone thinking about nursing care for a relative to come and see the place for themselves.

More about the care at Richmond Village
Respite Care at Richmond Village
Booking a respite stay usually means giving the home some notice, sharing a current medication list and GP details, and packing clothes, toiletries, glasses and anything that makes a room feel personal. Richmond Village Cheltenham is registered to offer respite alongside its permanent nursing care. Most homes ask for a minimum of one or two weeks, and a planned short stay can quietly double as a trial before any decision about moving in for good.
Nursing Care at Richmond Village
Round the clock input from a registered nurse is what separates a nursing home from residential care, and it suits people whose health needs are ongoing rather than occasional, think advanced frailty, complex medication regimes, wound care, catheters, PEG feeding or conditions like Parkinson's and late stage dementia. Richmond Village Cheltenham in Cheltenham is registered to provide nursing care and holds a good rating from the Care Quality Commission following its May 2023 inspection. Where a resident qualifies, the NHS Funded Nursing Care contribution of roughly £235 a week is paid directly to the home and taken off the invoice the family sees. In the South West typical nursing fees run from £1250 to £1600 a week, so it is worth asking exactly how the FNC is shown on the bill and what the fee covers before and after that deduction.
Dementia Care at Richmond Village
Sound dementia care usually rests on a few unshowy things, a familiar daily rhythm, staff trained to read behaviour rather than react to it, a layout that feels calm and safe to walk around, and enough time built into each interaction that nobody feels rushed. Richmond Village Cheltenham is registered for dementia care alongside its nursing registration, which matters when memory problems sit next to other health needs. Families should ask how the home responds when a resident becomes distressed or frightened, what happens if someone walks with purpose and tries doors, and how care is adjusted as dementia progresses into later stages. It is also fair to ask how the home keeps relatives informed when small changes start to add up.
Older Person Care at Richmond Village
Good support for an older person in a nursing setting covers the ordinary rhythms of the day, help with washing and dressing done at the resident's pace, medication given on time by someone qualified, meals that suit both appetite and clinical needs, and company when it is wanted. Richmond Village Cheltenham is registered for older person care and for nursing, which means clinical needs can be met on site rather than through outside visits. Weekly fees across the South West typically sit between £1250 and £1600, with Gloucestershire County Council usually funding around £900 to £1100 for those it supports. Families viewing the home should ask how morning and evening routines are arranged, how many nurses and carers are on shift overnight, and how the home responds when a resident is unsettled at night.
Younger Adults at Richmond Village
An adult under 65 who needs nursing has different reference points to an eighty year old, in music, in routine, in what a good day looks like. Richmond Village Cheltenham is registered to support younger adults alongside older residents. Ask how the home tailors daily life, choice of company and outside contact so that a younger person is not simply slotted into an older cohort's routine.
