About senior living in Richmond
Richmond, part of Metro Vancouver, is home to Vancouver International Airport. The Richmond Olympic Oval was a site for speed-skating events during the 2010 Winter Olympics. Richmond BC is a vibrant, multi-cultural community with sophisticated shopping, international cuisine and an abundance of recreational activities. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver, Richmond provides close access to Vancouver International Airport, the Gateway to the Pacific Rim and North America.
Like the rest of Canada, Richmond has an increasing number of seniors who need care and support as the baby boomer generation ages. As individuals grow old, the need for proper care arises and this is where senior homes come to the rescue of elderly people looking for a home away from home.
Richmond's several retirement homes offer high-quality facilities, customized amenities and skilled caregivers. Homes in Richmond and throughout the rest of British Columbia fall under the auspices of the BC Seniors Living Association (BCSLA). BCSLA member retirement homes must be committed to innovation and excellence in senior care.
