Skill and empathy are the buzzwords you'll hear when seniors and family members describe staff here. What's really noticeable is how care is enhanced with kindness and a personal touch, a core value of Verve Senior Living, as seen in more of their communities. As one further indication of this expertise in care, Richmond Hill Retirement Residence welcomes convalescent stays and respite care. In the end, the net effect of this a caring community, where kindness is contagious and spreads generously among community members. Tour this community yourself, and we're sure you'll see what we mean.
Right in the heart of the city, Richmond Hill Retirement Residence is a place where local seniors find new levels of happiness. People who move here find an ideal place of both renewal and reinvigoration. Outside, there's shopping, greenspace, nearby entertainment and health care (pharmacies, doctors, physiotherapy and more) – everything you need. And inside, this community focuses on promoting the improved health of community members: not just physical, but mental and spiritual health.
There's so much to do here, and a communal focus on well-being. Unique activities include vendors who come right into the community and a hair salon where you can get pampering as regularly as you like (some ladies take advantage of this service weekly!) Fitness onsite (if that's your thing!) includes daily stretching, and for more fun there are dance classes and a yoga group. Seniors who need assistance can find it here, with the availability of personal support for bathing and other activities of daily living. Care extends to palliation, here, which family members find comforting.
My mom and dad lived here for almost 2 years. The rooms are more spacious than any other retirement home in the area, which was a big draw for them moving out of their family home. The ability to get help as needed was important and the PSWs and nursing staff were always wonderful to them. Pre-covid, they also really enjoyed meal time in the pub and felt well taken care of by the wait staff who knew all their favourite drinks and meals. We were always greeted with a smile by the front desk s—Andrea Campbell, family member

We are so grateful to have found Richmond Hill Retirement Residence. My Mom has been living at RHRR for two and a half years and we couldn't be happier.

During this very difficult time with Covid-19, the staff have done their very best to keep the residents happy and safe. They have kept us well-informed and up to date with all happenings regarding new protocols and public health information.
Thank you to all the staff at RHRR for giving my Mom a very special place to live that allows our family to rest easy knowing that she is well cared for and safe. There truly is no better place for our Mom!! [posted to Google Reviews Jan 2021]

My mother was one of the original residents, just moving to Long Term Care. Not enough could possibly be said about how fantastic RHRR and their caring/compassionate staff are, from top to bottom. Would give more stars if possible. [posted to Google, 2020]—Ian McMillan, family member
