About The Richardson Mews

The Richardson Mews is a residential care home in West Northamptonshire, providing accommodation and personal care for people with acquired brain injuries across two separate buildings. The findings below set out what CQC observed during its most recent inspection.

The Richardson Mews provides accommodation and personal care for up to 36 people with acquired brain injuries across two buildings. The Mews offers long-term rehabilitation in an adapted building, while The Coach House provides assessment and rehabilitation in purpose-built accommodation. At inspection, 28 people were using the service.

A multi-disciplinary team led by a clinical psychologist assessed people's needs and developed tailored care plans that addressed their specific requirements and known risks. People participated in regular reviews to support their well-being and rehabilitation progress. The team collaborated closely with people's consultants and healthcare teams to provide holistic, coordinated care.
