LifeLibrary

The life story app that enables genuine, person-centred care to those in residential care

LifeLibrary is an easy-to-use app that allows carers and families to build a digital memory book for each resident. This shared resource helps carers provide personalised care, strengthens communication, and creates opportunities for meaningful engagement and activities.

For families, LifeLibrary provides a valuable connection to their loved ones, offering a window into their daily lives at the care home. By contributing photos, stories, and updates, families become active participants in their loved one’s care journey, fostering a sense of closeness and peace of mind.

“It’s a great resource for families to share and for you to share with our family member. I look forward to looking at the photos… It helps us all to see the activities that mum gets involved in, which I might not otherwise know about, because she often forgets what she’s done.”
– Family member of Resident

Life at Richard House

At Richard House we believe our home offers residents the start of a new chapter, where residents can decide to live life at a pace that suits them best. The care home team help people form meaningful connections, supporting friendships and companionship. This person-centred approach is evident when we home streamed a funeral service into the cinema room for residents who could not attend in person. During the summer months our outdoor spaces provide a safe place for families and residents to interact. We also celebrate seasonal traditions throughout the year. Events such as our Christmas Fayre and Candy Cane Open Day bring colour, warmth, and joy into the home. We firmly believe that guests should be welcome at any time, and therefore there are no set visiting hours.

Our team arranges regular outings with Myley Tours so residents stay connected to the local area. Trips include visits to Downtown Garden Centre and relaxing boat rides. Residents also enjoy regular visits from local primary schools and the RAF Air Cadets for shared projects and activities. Our culture upholds quality. The leadership team supports and listens to staff, and that sense of accountability directly shapes the excellent care recognised by the CQC.
