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 our excellent care.

A message from our CEO

Following the recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), our home was rated as Requires Improvement.

Whilst we are naturally disappointed with this outcome, we fully recognise and accept the findings within the report. The wellbeing, safety and quality of care provided to our residents remains our highest priority, and we have already implemented a comprehensive action plan to address the areas identified.

The home is receiving enhanced support from senior leaders across the organisation, with regular oversight, additional quality assurance measures, and ongoing monitoring to ensure sustained improvements are delivered. We are working closely with our team members, residents, relatives and external partners to ensure that the actions we take result in meaningful and lasting improvements.

We would like to reassure residents, relatives and stakeholders that we remain fully focused on providing safe, compassionate and high-quality care. Progress against our action plan is being reviewed regularly, and we are confident that the improvements being made will have a positive impact on the experience of those who live and work within our home. Our first step is to appoint a new home manager, Andi Barker, whose extensive background in care will bring fresh leadership, renewed energy and a steadfast commitment to the high standards that our residents and their families deserve.

We thank our residents, relatives and team members for their continued support as we continue this journey of improvement.
