Our Perspective
One of the trademarks of this and other Verve Senior Living communities is the careful attention staff is able to give to residents. "Helpful," "courteous," "patient" and "informative are just a few of the adjectives that seniors and family members use to describe care staff, nursing staff and the doctor here. Choice and selection also abound, when it comes to the dining menu and the activities available at the Richmond. If the variety of choices is just right, there's also abundant quality found in those selections, especially the meals.
Belleville and Quinte Region seniors will find superior retirement care right in their home town, found in the Richmond. The Richmond is an elegant oasis of calm and care, nestled right on North Front Street, in downtown Belleville.
One of the things this community is very good at is helping community members transition from their traditional home to life in the community. Personalization is one key. Community members bring whatever personal belongings they want to bring here, to decorate their suite. But what makes the change a blessing is the response of staff. All of your questions are answered in a forthright, helpful manner, and everyone finds a way to help you feel at home here.
Community’s Perspective
We asked The Richmond Retirement Residence to answer the following questions:
Who are you as a community?
Belleville is Ontario’s best kept secret, with the Quinte region being identified as one of the best areas in Canada in which to live. Only an hour and half east of Toronto and 40 minutes west of Kingston, The Richmond’s central location in Belleville makes it easily accessible to all amenities; banks, stores and restaurants, and is on a bus route for our residents’ convenience. You will experience a feeling of warmth and friendliness the moment you step through the doors. Enjoy dinner with friends in our newly renovated dining room. Join in for a group outing, fitness class or learn a new hobby. Or, if you prefer to find a quiet spot to read or people watch, you can do that to. Retire at the end of a full day into your well appointed, comfortable suite and rest up for the next day!

Reviews of The Richmond Retirement Residence
Suzanne Browning, family member
"The staff are extremely friendly, and they really care about the residents here. You just get a very warm, comfortable feeling that, you know that they treat the residents here like their own family members. That means a lot to myself as being a caregiver for my parents. It makes me feel very comfortable in the fact of knowing that they're here. They have 24 hours nursing care, seven days a week.

"The Richmond is fabulous! The food is very good and the staff who served us were extremely kind, friendly and helpful ... There's no reason to be bored at The Richmond ... Any questions we had, no matter how silly, were answered fully and with respect. The welcoming our father received was phenomenal.
