I'm a resident here, and I can say with no hesitation, that moving to SMW is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have and would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a peaceful, caring, and stress free place to live.
Some of the reasons for my love of SMW are:
1. It is owned and managed by the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, which gives me a great deal of comfort knowing that they will never take advantage of me in any way, and they truly have MY best interests in mind always.
2. It is open to all, with no restrictions. In fact, many residents are not Catholic and are of many diverse backgrounds.
3. The staff at all levels are incredible. They are super qualified, helpful, and friendly at all times. I've never heard an unfriendly comment from anyone.
4. There are many different activities available and never any pressure to participate or not. Musical concerts of many kinds by outside professionals are a frequent and very pleasant activity.
5. Several different apartment floorplans are available. Mine fits me to a T!
6. Dinners are included in all plans and they provide a great opportunity to mingle with other residents and share some great stories and experiences. A great group of people.
Please forgive the verbosity, but I want to convey what a great place this really is. If you're considering a retirement community, without a doubt, this is the place you want to be. I highly recommend it. read more
