This place is totally AWESOME !!! My Father just moved in last Thursday and he loves it here. I'm very impressed as well. I had lunch ( in a Private dining room that reminded me of my Grandmother's dining room for special occasions, filled with antique China Cabinets with old china dishes ) and the food was great ( I couldn't even eat all of my main entree ). The Studio Unit he has is just the right size ( and he has alot of stuff ) and the whole place seems more like a resort than an institution. Even has an indoor pool with hot tub.

Nice suites. The level of care my wife's aunt receives seems quite good.

Mom lives there. Always something going on to keep her busy and looking forward. They seem to ho above and beyond at whatever they do

Before calling Richmond Woods my home, I lived in Kingston, Ontario. Following the passing of my husband, my son and daughter in law wanted me to live closer to them in London. They did most of the research and thought that Richmond Woods was the nicest of the retirement residences that they toured; I was pleased to be closer to my family.

I would definitely recommend Richmond Woods to friends. I love the location, situated with some surrounding forest, and I really like the staff members. My advice to those searching for a new home is to weigh the things most important to you. For example, when I first moved in I Iived in a spacious suite upstairs, but I decided I'd prefer ground level with easier access to the outdoors because I love to go on walks and spend lots of time on my patio. And bring along the sentimental things and let everything else go. I have a desk that I purchased at an auction with my husband. I secretly bid on it and he did not find out the highest bidder until it was delivered at our home!

One of my favourite parts about living here is the bus trips that take place through the recreation group. I love being able to get out and the arrival back at Richmond Woods always makes me feel like I'm coming home.

I like the idea that healthy meals were built into the cost of living here, and I didn't have to shop for groceries or make meals. I enjoy the many conveniences [here] including the gym, library and pool. I highly recommend it as a retirement choice. The dining room creates opportunity for relationships and a sense of community. The staff do an excellent job of keeping the residence clean and I love the easy access to patio where I can enjoy the summer time and entertain friends outside!

My mother moved in approximately three months ago. I have nothing but great things to say about Longworth and I am so thankful to have found this place after my mother was no longer able to live on her own. Excellent caring staff, great food, super clean, responsive, nice rooms and premises, lots of activities. I have had some challenges with my mom and have received nothing but support.

Great place. My mother loves it here. Very nice staff and the building feels like home.

For nearly 70 years, Florie and I have dined together. Now that she no longer has the problem of pleasing my tastes, we can dine together here at Longworth and let the great kitchen staff here please us. The food is great, and if you are a picky eater, they'll do all they can to please you. The servers are never too busy that they can't laugh at your jokes, or offer advice. Each and every one of them treat us with respect and empathy.

The Longworth difference starts when you walk in the doors and you're recognized and welcomed by everyone. Every encounter makes a difference; from the dining room staff to the Wellness Team, the staff genuinely care. They all never hesitate to reach out, smile and recognize everyone personally. Thank you for making my father's transition to your community a happy experience. I look forward to the many years ahead for both of us at Longworth!

What a great day that I made the decision to move into Longworth. My friend of 67 years had been here 2 years and kept singing its praises. As soon as I entered a suite, I saidthis is mine. It is so light and bright. There are lots of activities and trips if you wish to attend. You need never feel bored. I love my home at Longworth. Best decision I ever made to move here.
