THE RICHMOND RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

One of the trademarks of this and other Verve Senior Living communities is the careful attention staff give 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.

We moved our Mother here in June. I find the staff here very friendly. The residence itself is clean, tidy and well kept. They have been very supportive during the transititon. I have seen the food and she quite likes all the dinners, the other residents and is very content which gives us peace of mind. Its wonderful.

My father has been here a little over a year, and I truly believe choosing to move into a retirement residence was the best decision he has made. Choosing the Richmond as his home I believe was the reason for this. The family-like environment between not only the residents but the staff also is amazing. You can honestly see that they all truly care about each others' well being like one big family.

I went to visit some friends at Richmond retirement residence home. I was so pleased to see how beautiful and warm welcoming I felt when I went to a visit. They have done such an amazing job and the dining room is beautiful. They have another room off the dining area. Residents can sit and enjoy one another's company and get their drinks from the machines. Great job staff, for all the terrific jobs you do each day. The residents are so lucky to live in a beautiful home.

The Richmond retirement home is a beautiful home for your grandparents to live. The staff does such an amazing job with all the residents... Kim always goes above and beyond. They always have fun events planned for residents holiday parties, Hawaiian party, and much more. They have game nights for the residents planned for them to enjoy with all their friends. The laughter you here when you are visiting is such an amazing time to see. Residents always have the best time here. They have the most beautiful room layouts and sittings rooms. They have a beautiful dining rooms. The warm, welcoming from the staff and residents when you enter the home is always inviting and full of smiles.

The Richmond has been part of Belleville for many years. It is well worth a visit if you haven't been there recently. I visited recently to visit a friend and can say the residents are happy, food is fantastic, building is clean, and the staff are so friendly. I would recommend The Richmond to anyone looking for a Retirement Home.

Beautiful spot in the country! Friendly and caring staff who go above and beyond every day! I highly recommend it!!!!

I always thought that living in a retirement home is the last thing I wanted to do – so I stayed in my house as long as I could. Today I know better – my only regret is that I did not come sooner to Golden Pond.

The folks at Golden Pond are really doing a terrific job of providing for all residents.

My wife and I lived here for 6 years, before Edna passed on. This is a most wonderful place to live if you are older and need someone to look after all your shortcomings. Golden Pond enables them to live life again, while feeling safe and secure.

I would never have thought that after working here for so many years, I would become a resident myself. But here you go – I just love it. It’s just like coming home again. The mission statement of GP is just so true: You are treated here the same way you want to be treated.
