Meet The Manager
Tom Boarder is Village Manager at Richmond Villages Northampton Care Home.
I have been with Richmond Villages for five years having previously worked at Richmond Villages Bede. I am thrilled to now have the position as Village Manager at Northampton, and I am looking forward to establishing an open relationship with all our residents and their families and to ensure we continue delivering outstanding care throughout the village.
Our 30 bed care home is a bright and beautifully presented environment with professionally designed interiors. Corridors and communal areas are wide and spacious making this a lovely place to reside and spend time as a family member or guest. We have two wings of the home, Meadows for residents living with dementia, and Woodlands for the frail and elderly with nursing care needs.
