One-to-one comparison

RICHMOND CARE HOME

Ottawa Region families facing a dementia diagnosis for their mom or grandmother will find a completely unique approach in Richmond Care Home. Situated in a unique 16 bed home set well off Nixon Farm Drive, this feels like a serene country resort in the city. The house-like setting and the sheer professionalism of staff combine to make this a homey, adept approach to care for Alzheimer's and other dementia.

Perhaps the best thing about Park Place is the location, so close to downtown Ottawa. There are gardens outside, parks not far away, and the nearby Experimental Farm is a unique part of the community's environment. Not far away, there are shopping centres and restaurants, then the downtown core and the many sights to see and things to do there. People love the very wide range of services that are available both within Park Place and close by.

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].

Food is wonderful and the staff really care for my grandma. I see the compassion and patience they give all the residents here and it gives me great peace of mind. The staff remembers small things like making sure my grandma has a bib when she’s eating or giving her warm water instead of cold. Thank you all so much! You are so appreciated.

Living in a retirement home gives you more freedom, more things to do, more people to be with. Since I came to Park Place, I meet people every day, my apartment is huge, there is a pond to walk around, the experimental farm is beside me, I have a patio and face the street so I am living in a housing community, stores are near me, I could not ask for more! [And the staff here] are so kind, they can’t meet your needs enough. If you were in there you would say WOW, the staff does everything they can for you.

My mother resides in this home and I can’t say enough good things. The food is great, the care is amazing but the most important thing is how they’re handling COVID. After they noticed the effect of March lockdown on seniors, they realize [that] family are what will get seniors through the pandemic. Myself and my brothers have visited and cared for our mother every day since late April. Other seniors’ families are also allowed to care for their seniors. We are provided with PPE, Hand sanitizers, everything. They know family have every right to enter their loved one's home. Park Place follows the directives and Resident Bill of Rights.

My sister in law lives there. Modern and well maintained.

My mother recently moved in and it's been fantastic for the first month. Nothing but great things to say. Highly recommended for somebody taking the step onto the next chapter of their lives.
