RICHMOND CARE HOME

My Deaf mother has been a resident of the home for 2 ½ years. My family is appreciative of the quality of care that is provided to her and is pleased with the warm and safe environment that she is in. The staff are professional, caring, and attentive, and they encourage my mother to participate in different activities. They have even gone out of their way to learn sign language to communicate with her. Overall, our family is at peace knowing that our mother is in good hands at the Richmond Care Home.

My mom has been a resident at Carefor for almost a year now. I am very impressed with how well she has settled in. The staff are all very kind and caring, as well as professional. I love the small intimate size of this home. It truly allows for individualized care, unlike some of the large and perhaps more fancy care homes. I would recommend Carefor Richmond to any family who has a mother /grandmother, etc, they adore.

I love this place for my mom. The staff are loving and gentle with their clients.

Warm, welcoming staff and home environment. It’s unique in it's design and model.

Love it....My Mom has been a guest for almost 6 years. Have no idea what we would have done without the beautiful ladies and their special care. Can't imagine life without [it].

My mother moved into the Terrace recently for what my sisters and I anticipated would be a short term respite stay. However, it unexpectedly turned into a terminal palliative care residency. The staff at the Terrace were able to accommodate her change in situation and medical status very smoothly and made her last days as comfortable as possible. This allowed Mom to pass away with a level of grace and dignity that exceeded our expectations. Everyone showed great caring and compassion towards both Mom and our family. Thanks to Dawn, Amy and the rest of the staff for making this difficult experience easier to handle. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend the Terrace for respite care.

Liz was amazing in getting my parents moved in on very short notice and giving them the accommodations that they required. Dad passed soon after and the staff has been extremely supportive to my mom. There were a few glitches but nothing that was serious. Overall, I think this is a great place and they are still working with my mom to make her time there comfortable.

A very welcoming location and team! They are supportive of the community and caring. Special acknowledgement for Liz who goes beyond when you reach out to her!

My mum and dad moved here in September. It's a lovely, homey atmosphere. The building is clean and well-appointed without being "fussy" and pretentious. They have been treated royally, both of them enjoying the cheerful and helpful staff who always brighten their days. Dad has since passed away, and my mum continues to love it... the level of care, kindnesses and good food are in her daily feedback to me ! Thank you, Carleton Place Terrace !

My dad stayed here for a few months. Great place. He said he was well taken care of and everyone was so nice.
