It focuses on understanding and respecting people's needs, values, wishes, and preferences. At Richmond Manor, we ensure everyone we support is involved in all decisions about their health and wellbeing, from conversations about the type of care they need to how their room is decorated or where they spend their time.

Our Personalised Wellbeing Programme, created specifically for each individual, is built through understanding each of their likes and dislikes, their life stories, and the pastimes they have always been passionate about. These bespoke programmes occasionally require alteration over the course of their stay, and will adapt to support ever-changing needs.

It's about respecting an individual's past, supporting their existing strengths and ambitions, and honouring their personal identity as we create our personalised care package. Through this, we can ensure a comfortable and content future for everyone at our specialist care home.
