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.
This is the kind of place where people will discover how great senior living can be. The expertise behind this project will help create a community where people make friends, form bonds and enjoy life in a group of senior peers. Those who have lived alone will find that they make great friends with others and learn to enjoy life anew. You really will find it nice to have people your same age just outside the door, people who want to be with you. You’ll also discover that your interests expand. Consider the possibility that some of your best days might still be ahead of you. We have seen many people’s lives improve immensely in places like Carp Commons.
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].
My mother has been a resident for several months now and I can tell you first hand that Richmond Care Home is excellent in every way. The staff are professional, attentive and cheerful and always willing to help. I give them a 10/10 rating.
My mother has been staying here for the last few months now and this is indeed a wonderful place for your loved one with moderate dementia issues. The staff is excellent and the care the residents receive is truly wonderful. They specialize in making it a home-like environment for they patients, most of whom suffer from some sort of dementia.
My parents moved into the Carp Commons in October of 2023. It was a major transition for them however, both Rebekah and Pat were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make them feel welcome. Both my mom and dad are very pleased with the care, maintenance, and attention to detail that all staff show towards the upkeep of Carp Commons. The dining room is bright and beautifully decorated for each sitting. The dining staff makes a concerted effort to get to know the residents and their culinary preferences. The admin and front desk staff are so welcoming and kind to both visitors and residents - greeting everyone with a smile. I am very pleased with the extra-curricular offerings for seniors such as Chair Yoga and low-impact fitness - my parents are really enjoying those specifically! Carp Commons offers top notch care blending country charm location with urban amenities either onsite or nearby.
A retirement home is only as good as its director of care and staff and Colin Ferguson and his staff are amazing. He quickly and efficiently deals with any concerns (which are few). He is very accessible and very present at all times. My mom has settled very well considering there is a language barrier which we were very concerned about. She is well cared for in the dementia wing with only 11 residents living there so it is a very intimate, high ratio of care staff to residents. We are so lucky to have found such a good placement for our mom and have peace of mind knowing she is well looked after.
From day one my father-in-law has found a comfortable and welcoming home at Carp Commons. His accommodations are inviting and of high quality. He receives excellent personal and medical support and care. The programs and facilities are top-notch. Visitors are equally welcomed as members of the Carp Commons family. The staff members are all exceptionally friendly, and the general atmosphere is uplifting and peaceful. All of us, including our father the resident, could not be happier with our decision to make Carp Commons a part of our lives.
Carp Commons is an amazing place! My mother-in-law moved in December 2023 and she loves it. She loves that the staff are all so friendly and helpful. Her studio room is just the perfect size! She loves the food each day! I can't thank Rebekah, Jill, Collins, Charlotte, and the rest of the staff enough I was worried about this transition and everyone has stepped up and made it delightful. All the residents are amazing and so friendly and helpful as well.
I am currently a resident at Carp Commons and am thoroughly enjoying the adventure. I came at a time when I thought I was okay and made my own decision. I learned that my health was not as good as I thought. Being here brought me to a state of soooo much better health, it even amazes me. The staff here are so pleasant and I find so patient with not only me but everyone. They make you feel like you are a 'somebody'. The food is excellent when the Chef can get what he orders from the distributor. Everyone knows your name--literally. The one complaint that some people have is that there are too many activities to choose from! They must now make a decision. Everyone listens to your suggestions and are willing to help you get things set up. Being a former Co-op teacher I had occasion to go to many Retirement Homes and saw the condition of many of them. Carp Commons is so far ahead of all of them. From the moment you walk in the front door people are smiling, residents are doing things. There is a hive of activity. I highly recommend Carp Commons to all my friends and anybody else who will listen.
