Surroundings
The gardens of our CARE HOME have been carefully landscaped at the front and back with raised flowerbeds, a pergola and a fish pond plus a variety of trees, shrubs and plants to provide interest throughout the year.
Various areas have been paved and chairs and tables are provided to enable our residents to have a soothing and tranquil place to sit out during the warmer months. For the cooler times our residents can relax in a large conservatory to observe the wildlife in the back garden.
UK Care Home History
Our UK care home, Richmondwood has had an interesting history. The land was originally owned by the Earl of Malmesbury who sold it to a private purchaser in 1905 for the sum of £375.
It was later sold to the Church Commissioners and in 1936 became the vicarage to the nearby parish church of St Albans. It remained as such until 1978 when it changed ownership and soon after was converted to a UK Care Home.
It is a tribute to the sympathetic way the additions have been designed that most visitors coming up the front drive are unaware that it is only the middle part of the UK care home – the bay window and the window to the left – that is part of the original structure.
The vicarage had four bedrooms, but by the time the current owner purchased it in 1986 this had increased to 11 bedrooms. Since that date our UK care home has had several extensions and now has 22 bedrooms, 19 of which have en-suite toilet or full bathing facilities.
In the 1990’s a further parcel of land was purchased at the rear to be used as amenity space.
Outside, the gardens front and rear have been extensively landscaped and designed so that all parts are level and easily accessed by those in wheelchairs or who have mobility difficulties.

About Richmondwood Residential
Care Home Bournemouth
Richmondwood is proud of its reputation for offering continuing independence, freedom and most importantly companionship to its residents. We have fostered a family atmosphere within the home and to ensure peace of mind, 24 hour care is on hand from an experienced Manager and a team of highly trained and motivated staff.
At Richmondwood we are very proud of our home and the quality of life we provide to our residents. Our Care Home is in a prestigious suburb and has been established under the current ownership since 1986.
Although times and regulations have changed, our aim is still the same as it always was, to encourage independent living for our residents within a caring and happy atmosphere. However, is not a nursing home and therefore we cannot provide nursing care although we provide palliative care if needed. We can call on the primary health care team from your local GP surgery to carry out any procedures requiring a trained nurse, as you would if you lived at home.
Our team are all encouraged to study for their Diploma in Health and Social Care and have additional training provided throughout the year. Richmondwood is registered with the Care Quality Commission and also has contracts with the Social Services departments at Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset local councils.
