Westminster Canterbury Richmond was founded in 1971 by the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches and opened in 1975. Westminster Canterbury Richmond was the first among Richmond-area retirement communities to earn accreditation by the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (now CARF-CCAC), 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-CCAC.

Westminster Canterbury Richmond’s Diversity Advisory Council hosted a celebration of Chinese and Asian culture on October 15. Staff enjoyed music, decorated lanterns and ate mooncakes, which are traditionally eaten during the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one the most important holidays in Chinese culture, dating back over 3,000 years. During the festival, lanterns of all sizes and shapes – which symbolize beacons that light people’s path to prosperity and good fortune – are carried and displayed.
