Discover a new zest for life at Richmond Villages
Our sister company Richmond Villages has created several successful retirement villages around the country.
Richmond Village Coventry, formerly known as Bede Village, located between Coventry and Bedworth in Warwickshire, with easy access to all the motorway networks. The village has undergone a major refurbishment and offers luxurious facilities including its very own bowling green. Life at Richmond Coventry is anything but dull. The combination of a socially active and supportive community with the reassurance of first class domiciliary and nursing care whilst being able to retain an independent lifestyle has proved a winning combination for all its residents.
Living at Richmond Coventry gives you a wide choice of accommodation, including village apartments providing independent living and assisted living apartments (sometimes referred to as extra care). Richmond Coventry also has a state of the art care home. It also means being able to enjoy superb service, wonderful facilities, first class restaurants and stunning gardens. The village is an active community in its own right as well as interacting well with the wider community in which it exists.
The village boasts a bowling green, restaurants, café, shop, award winning gardens and a fleet of vehicles for regular scheduled outings and shopping trips.
