“Three things I love about RWC:
“We lived in Irvington for 20 years, then moved to Alaska where we lived for 4 ½ years so we could be near young grandchildren. Health issues brought us back, and we are very pleased to live at RWC – our forever home. Many of our friends from the Rappahannock River Yacht Club and the community have lived here over the years, so we had the opportunity to visit, enjoy some social functions, and love it.”
“I wasn’t expecting to have as many new friends as I’ve made since moving here. It’s been a pleasant surprise.”
“When I first considered moving to a retirement community, I assumed it would be out of my budget. RWC offers so many living options and I found one that fits my needs with no hidden fees. From healthcare to activities, everything is included. It’s more affordable than I expected, and it’s exactly what I was looking for.”
“RWC is a wonderful place to live. The homes are beautifully laid out for convenience and comfort, the people are friendly and interesting to be with and the staff are absolutely the best of the best. Life is good here.”
“It’s like summer camp all year ‘round — activities indoors and out, learning things, making friends and eating dinner together.”
