Four stars. Clean suites. All common areas are really neat and tidy.

My expectations were exceeded ... It was great to find such excellent assisted living in the city of Richmond ... I highly recommend Gilmore Gardens for anyone looking for a high level of living and senior care for elderly loved ones.

—Elizabeth, resident

I'm so very grateful for the care my mother received when she was at Gilmore Gardens.

—Susan, family member

Gilmore Gardens is truly exceptional. My mother has been a resident for over three years. The leadership is outstanding, and this reflects onto all management and staff. I see residents being treated with dignity and respect, in a warm and welcoming family-style community. [What] sets Gilmore Gardens [apart] is the people - friendly, efficient and helpful in all positions and at all levels.

—Janet Ragetli, family member

My mother has been a resident for over 2 years, she is almost 90. The staff are very kind and considerate. She loves the activities, the exercise classes, the library and the meals. They have been very good with their [COVID-19] response and precautions.
