“After living and working in the Washington, D. C. area for over 35 years, my wife and I made a decision to move to RWC more than a decade ago. We have found that our life style has changed only to the extent that we have more free time to engage in the activities that have always been a part of our lives in an environment free of the traffic and other stresses connected with an urban living.”

-John Hess, resident

Now is a great time to consider the advantages of a retirement neighborhood like Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury, our Total Lifecare community. We are a full-service community nestled within 165 wooded acres and just minutes from the Rappahannock River in Virginia’s Northern Neck.

RWC offers apartments, cottages and free-standing homes in various configurations from studio to five bedrooms with 3-½ baths. Our residents have peace of mind knowing that personal care assistance and health care is on site and guaranteed if the need arises. This Lifecare plan secures residents against catastrophic health care expenses, while the lifestyle allows them to continue to explore opportunities and self-improvement, including a broad spectrum of social, educational, and recreational activities.

The brochure does a wonderful job of outlining the services and amenities we have to offer. What it doesn’t do is convey the sense of family and caring that our residents and staff feel on campus. To really see and understand what our community is like, please call us for lunch and a tour at 804-438-4000. We look forward to helping you in your search for a Continuing Care Retirement Community. We hope to hear from you soon!
