What's really noticeable is how care is enhanced with kindness and a personal touch, a core value of Verve Senior Living, as seen in more of their communities. As one further indication of this expertise in care, Richmond Hill Retirement Residence welcomes convalescent stays and respite care. In the end, the net effect of this a caring community, where kindness is contagious and spreads generously among community members. Tour this community yourself, and we're sure you'll see what we mean.

Right in the heart of the city, Richmond Hill Retirement Residence is a place where local seniors find new levels of happiness. People who move here find an ideal place of both renewal and reinvigoration. Outside, there's shopping, greenspace, nearby entertainment and health care (pharmacies, doctors, physiotherapy and more) – everything you need. And inside, this community focuses on promoting the improved health of community members: not just physical, but mental and spiritual health.

There's so much to do here, and a communal focus on well-being. Unique activities include vendors who come right into the community and a hair salon where you can get pampering as regularly as you like (some ladies take advantage of this service weekly!) Fitness onsite (if that's your thing!) includes daily stretching, and for more fun there are dance classes and a yoga group. Seniors who need assistance can find it here, with the availability of personal support for bathing and other activities of daily living. Care extends to palliation, here, which family members find comforting.

"Ever since our uncle was admitted to the Richmond Hill Retirement Residence, each staff member who came in contact with him had a positive impact on his emotional, physical, and most importantly his mental health. It felt like he received a second lease on life! The care, attention, and compassion the entire staff demonstrated are absolutely a reflection of the outstanding people they are! He came with a loss of appetite that he not only regained, but he also continuously commented on how grea..."

Andrea Campbell, family member

"My mom and dad lived here for almost 2 years. The rooms are more spacious than any other retirement home in the area, which was a big draw for them moving out of their family home. The ability to get help as needed was important and the PSWs and nursing staff were always wonderful to them. Pre-covid, they also really enjoyed meal time in the pub and felt well taken care of by the wait staff who knew all their favourite drinks and meals. We were always greeted with a smile by the front desk s..."

Richmond Hill Retirement Residence during Covid-19

What if you could live in a community with activity, friendly people, and even get your hair done all without leaving your home and still stay safe?
At Richmond Hill Retirement Residence there are many benefits to living in our community especially during these challenging times.
Living here means having a support system like no other. At RHRR, we are proud to call each other family. We all look out for one another and during these unprecedented times as a family and community feel this now more than ever.
During these months we have been offering our residents around the clock care in the comfort of their suites, with twice daily check ins from our nursing team. We have been checking our resident’s vitals, mental and physical health, and overall wellbeing during these times.
We have also been providing room service during all meals to each of our residents to ensure the best safety measures and proper social distancing. We have now opened our formal dining room and are now offering fine dining with limited seating. We are slowly easing back into things while still taking all the precautions we can to keep everyone safe. Part of the benefits to living in a community likes ours, is that residents have access to everything on- site and do not have to worry about going out into the community where some might not be practicing best safety measures.
Here at RHRR our residents have access to the hair salon, fitness room, theatre, library, doctor, tuck shop and more. It is with peace and mind that residents know we are keeping appointments well organized and ensuring social distancing in these small gathering settings.
Our life enrichment team have gone over and above to keep our resident’s social life as uplifting as much as possible. With daily one on one visits to our residents, they offer virtual connections between residents and their loved ones, recreational activity booklets and packages to help stay busy.
At RHRR we love to socialize and any excuse for us to party is always good enough for us. We have been continuing to have small groups of residents attend our outdoor entertainment and exercise while keeping a safe distance.
At Richmond Hill Retirement Residence we take pride in knowing that we have been doing everything and more to keep everyone well and safe here.
