Now that Spring is here, we’re really enjoying getting out and about as much as possible. Some of our service users have been on holiday to Devon, or to West Midlands Safari Park. Closer to home, there have been fishing trips, shopping trips, cinema trips, canal-side walks and a visit to Sywell Aerodrome.→ Read the rest

Sometimes we are asked why our baseline fees for specialist residential care are the same, regardless of the size of the bedroom and the facilities within it.

It is very important in helping service users to better understand their diagnosis and become accustomed to living with it.

A brain injury can affect someone’s personality and behaviour as well as their cognitive abilities and mental health – and all of these aspects can be inter-related, creating additional challenges.→ Read the rest
Activities of daily living require a huge range of cognitive skills, which we develop from childhood as we grow. However, someone who has an acquired brain injury has to re-learn many of these skills. At Richardson Care we take an holistic approach, where members of our clinical team work with each service user to develop the skills they have lost.→ Read the rest
