My mom has moved into Richmond Place. My overall experience is very good. All the rooms and the common areas were updated. They have somebody at the front desk full-time, 24/7, so I like that front door access. Where she came from, that was not the case. I love the courtyard. It is a nice place for her to walk her dog in a safe environment. I love that they have a full kitchen with a full refrigerator, an oven, and a dishwasher, which is nice because she came from a kitchenette. I love that she has flexibility as to what time she'll take her meals, so it's not just one set time. I love that she has a washer-dryer hookup. The staff seems very nice and helpful. We've been in there since December 15th, but the office people were very nice in helping us complete the contract, getting us in, and making sure everything was right. They followed up to make sure everything was as we wanted it. They've been really good. Mom likes the maître d' guy in the dining room. He's very helpful like feeding her and getting her to meet other people.
We saw a menu. We didn't ask to try the food but my mom loves the food. She had one bad meal, but for the most part, it's like an upscale restaurant. They have a lot of activities. We saw several groups in action. I can't remember what they were doing, but there are several activities for her to choose from. She's getting most of her money out there.

Our daughter did extensive research and went so far as to do a comparative spreadsheet of the Top 5 Senior Living Facilities she toured in the area. Richmond Place came up head and shoulders above all in every category, from overall cleanliness, attractiveness, grounds, staff attitudes and attentiveness, amenities, emphasis on socialization, and cost.
And I can honestly say, I have never felt so carefree, made so many friends, and participated in activities we never would have prior to moving here.
If I had to choose just one thing that makes living at Richmond Place the best possible choice, it would be the staff, from the top of the organization chart to the food and beverage division, housekeeping and maintenance and their responsiveness to all our needs, large and small.
To have PT and OT on site is a huge plus. The attention given to socialization by the staff is beyond compare. There is something for everyone, and I would not hesitate to recommend Richmond Place to anyone.

I have been living in Richmond Place for 6 years having moved here because of my husband’s declining health due to dementia moving on toward Alzheimer’s. When he moved into the Memory Care Unit, I called it his “Happy Place” and it truly was. After he passed away I continued to live in Independent Living even though I still owned my house. I chose to stay because it is a beautiful setting with the courtyard, swimming pool, nearby shopping. I have to do very little grocery shopping, no cooking, no cleaning, no maintenance, many activities and exercise classes provided—what’s not to love?? And the staff very often goes above and beyond to take care of us such as during Covid pandemic and several times staying overnight when there is an ice storm or threatening weather. Another important factor for me is to have the availability of being with people if I so choose. I have made many new friends. This feels like “home” to me.

I have moved into Richmond Place. The great thing is that you get value for your money. They offer a nice assortment of things for you to use here, and it's very reasonable and very nice. Also, the staff is very kind. They provide the appliances except for a washer and dryer. It's a lovely place to live. They have a courtyard, trees, flowers, and gardening areas, but when you're going into these places, you're not going to find everything that you like. It's a compromise. Communication could be better. They prepare a lot of meals three times a day and that is not an easy thing and the food is not bad. It's not gourmet and some days are better than others, but that's the way it is at home. You have the option of two meals a day. You can choose the meals you care for. It's not your typical healthcare facility. There are a lot of activities here and a lot of opportunities for people in the facility.

Huntington Richmond was a brand new building. The place was very nice. They had activities for seniors. It was a place only for senior citizens. The staff was kind and courteous. They didn't provide any meals. These were apartments. They were all totally independent. Everybody was on their own with their meals. They had a hair salon, a game room, and a dining room. It was nice. It was very clean.

It will take a while for me to get used to living here at Richmond Place, but everything is fine. It's a nice place, they cook your meals for you, and you have a maid. There are six acres of walking trails and they have a swimming pool. It's a very nice place. The food's really good and you get a choice of several items. The staff is very nice. I have a little trouble getting a lot of things fixed, but they say that they're really backlogged because a lot of things go wrong, like dishwashers and refrigerators, so it takes them a while to get around to everybody. They're still in the process of remodeling a lot of things. They were going to replace all of the carpeting, and they've only done that on the first floor so far. They have a beauty salon, a library, they play bingo, do exercises, and people come in to teach balance. They had an open house and they had a really nice party, and we'll have another party when we get to the end of the summer. It's a very nice place. Sometimes it's hard to get everything taken care of as you wanted. They did a lot of upkeeping on some things. I like the courtyard and there's a place where you can have your own garden.

I went to look at Richmond Place. It had everything the other place had to offer, it just wasn't in our budget. They showed me a piece of paper with the different activities. The apartment was clean and spacious. I spoke with the person in charge, and when she told me the price, I decided that we didn't have to go any further because it was not within our budget. The building was beautiful. The residents were all happy and walking around. There was lots of movement within the building. Residents seemed to be well cared for. They were all happy and felt very at ease. They showed me where the smoking area was. It was a nice area and shady. There were some residents playing bingo. They were getting ready to go to, I think, getting class. There were various activities throughout the building, so that was nice.

I toured Richmond Place and it was nice. I had been to another one, so when I went to this one, when I walked in, I was impressed. I am going back and take my daughters to see it.
The staff was very sweet and very helpful. She kept asking if there were any more questions. And I think she went over everything pretty thoroughly. I was pretty impressed with her.
The room that I looked at overlooked the garden and the swimming pool, which I thought was a good view. They have a nice workout center. I go to pulmonary rehab now three times a week and they had all of the same equipment, with a respiratory therapist there. The dining room was very pretty and had tablecloths on it. We're going to eat there Friday with my girls and I would go and see how the food is. They have a big patio out back with a table and chairs, with umbrellas.
Out in the hallways, there's a room with fireplaces and lots of nice comfortable chairs for people just going to get together. They have painting classes, bingo, and they have a van where they take people out to different places for lunch.
They said they are getting ready to renovate it, and I said it didn't look like it needed to be. But she said they were ready to do a lot of upgrades on the inside of it. And I thought it looked pretty good as it was.

I was a resident at Richmond Place. I would give them the lowest I could get and that's about one too high. The shower was lukewarm when I moved in, and I had to go through all types of hassle, and they came down and they got the water so hot you could hardly stand there, and you couldn't get no cold water. I finally got somebody over to fix, and if you turned the hot water on, you got cold water. If you turned the cold water on, you got hot water. You could not get anything fixed.
They only served two meals a day: a breakfast and a choice of lunch or dinner. On Saturdays and Sundays, you got no breakfast. On holidays, you got one meal a day. We stayed over during the pandemic, and we went for three weeks without getting any warm meal.
We had a washer-dryer, a regular refrigerator, a range, and a dishwasher. I went out and bought a microwave. Then they said that they fixed the microwaves, and they'll bring me one down. Why did they wait until after I complained to decide to bring me a microwave? When I moved in there, the refrigerator and the freezer stayed frozen over.
The maintenance man would come up and tell you something that would never get done. When I moved in there, like all these hotels, you got one certain plug in, and you turn on a light switch. Nobody told us anything about the operation and what it was, and only one of them worked. It was out in the den or the second room. In the master bedroom, you could turn on the switch and turn on the lamp in the specific plug in, and it would not do anything. It was the same way in the living room.
I knew that they had a salon, but that's all.

We toured Richmond Place. I am actually taking my mother and father on the twenty-second to look at a living situation there. It is a combination of the physical plant and services. The physical plant is just excellent, with outside walking trails and large condominium-like apartments. The facility itself is excellent. The other thing that is very great about Richmond Place is the continuity of care. So, they have independent, assisted, and memory care all on the same campus. We were given takeout lunches, and it was delicious. The layout of the apartments and the outdoor spaces -- the swimming pool, the putting green, walking trails, and outside gardening opportunities -- and the proximity to medical care is just fantastic.

My mother moved in to Richmond Place and the experience has been outstanding; it couldn't be better. The staff has been extremely helpful and accommodating, they've been excellent. She's in a 2-bathroom with 2 full baths, it's a second-floor bedroom with a balcony. The cleanliness and upkeep is excellent, it's outstanding. The food was good, not great.

My mom has been in Richmond Place. I'm her power of attorney. They have changed ownership twice since she has been there. They have pretty much basically what most of the independent living services have. She has a one-bedroom. It's actually a bedroom and a den, which may be considered as a two-bedroom apartment. They have a very nice dining area, they have a lot of activities, and they have transportation if they need that. They have services to do personal care services, like people will go grocery shopping for them, they will do deep cleaning, and they will do laundry. They have some physical therapy and occupational therapy in-house there. It's pretty well staffed. They have a beauty shop, too. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. It would probably be a different story if my mom gave the rating because she gets upset with people very easily. However, from my perspective, they have been very accommodating and helpful. The thing that bothers my mom the most is the food and the food choices. They had a chef when she first moved there, and it was very good. Then, with the changes, that has changed. My mom is very disappointed with the food choices most of the time. There are fewer choices and she complains about it most days. The staff has gone over and above. They have done a lot of renovations lately, and it's been there for awhile. With COVID they don't have any activities, but they haven't had any cases of COVID in the facility. My mom got a pretty decent deal when we moved in there. She signed in her lease at the end of the year and she has no rent increases. She is getting a pretty good value for what she is getting.

Richmond Place is excellent. It is not exactly what I want, but they have been very helpful to me and they have gone out of their way to try to accommodate me. The rooms are very nice and the staff was excellent. They're outstanding. All of the activities are really good. The place is also clean.

Dad is living in the independent living side of Richmond Place, and he's happy there. I think his room is pretty big. They have a library, rec room, dining room, and multi-purpose room for Bingo. The staff is nice. They have balconies and a pool.

I am quite happy with Richmond Place. They have very nice-sized apartments. I am in the independent living section, and they also have an assisted living section and a nursing home section. I've got a very nice apartment that is larger than the house I had, and the people here are very nice. They have a very large grounds. The food is quite good; in fact, I have gained some pounds in the last couple of weeks.
