<p> Each year, at The Richardson Partnership for Care we send out a short questionnaire to the family members of service users in our homes. This requests feedback on the general care provision and the quality of the residential homes, and is in addition to specific communication about the service user.→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/excellent-feedback-on-residential-care-from-service-users-families/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a></p>

<p> Now that Spring has arrived, we are looking forward positively to the year ahead. This is often a time when young adults with learning difficulties are preparing to move from school or college to a new environment. Below we outline how we can help to enable a smooth transition and assist service users in settling in to their new environment.→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/transition-young-adults-learning-difficulties/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a></p>
<p> As it’s Energy Saving Week this week, I thought I’d write a short post about what we’re doing at The Richardson Partnership for Care to reduce our carbon footprint.</p> <p>Our care home at 144 Boughton Green Road has been using solar power to heat the water for the last 10 years and we’re installing solar water heating in The Mews too.→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/energy-usage-in-care-homes/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a></p>
<p> Our homes for adults with learning difficulties, 2 & 8 Kingsthorpe Grove, Northampton, scored 100% on a recent inspection by Northamptonshire County Council. The annual Contract Monitoring Report aims to identify possibilities for improvement and for working with the provider to ensure that the needs of service users are fully satisfied in the most efficient way.→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/rpc-scores-100-in-quality-inspection/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a></p>
<p> As a matter of course we arrange that each of our homes have a monthly house meeting where all of the Service Users and the staff come together and plan group outings for the coming month as well as provide the opportunity for some open discussions with the service users.→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/regular-engagement-of-service-users-in-their-daily-lives-at-rpc/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a></p>

<p> In our business, we have created what we call “Respite Stays” for service users, which is essentially a temporary stay for people with an acquired brain injury, to give everyone a break to recover some much needed energy and maybe to learn new skills.→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/short-respite-breaks-for-family-who-care-for-loved-ones-at-home/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a></p>
<p> The Northamptonshire Learning Disability Partnership (NLDP) Board was set-up in September 2010. We are members of the Board, and one of our Homes Managers, Jackie Mann, represents us on this Board.</p> <p>The members of the Board discuss issues that are of importance to individuals with a learning disability; their family and friends; as well as their carers.→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/learning-disability-partnership-board-goals-and-aims/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a></p>
