How everything we are benefits you and your retirement:
Westminster Canterbury Richmond is one of the most reputable retirement communities in Virginia. We were the first Richmond-area retirement community to earn accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (now CARF)—the independent authority that evaluates all aspects of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). We have held that distinction continuously since 1987.
Fewer than 15% of all CCRCs in America have accreditation through CARF.
What does that mean to you? You get to live in a community that excels in service, financial stability, cultural vitality and spiritual life. You can have confidence in our not-for-profit philosophy that reinvests all revenue back into the community—into enhanced services for our residents. You can entrust your future to people genuinely dedicated to helping you Live Life Well.
