A sampling of Assisted Living services that make life easier and more enjoyable:
Different communities may define “Assisted Living” differently—make sure any community you consider matches your expectations. You should ask good questions about how the community could assist if your needs change.
Perhaps most importantly, you should know what is essential to make you feel at home—driving a car? Preparing meals or snacks? Entertaining friends? Getting out into the community? Do they provide flexibility and conform to your schedule, or do they have set hours to get up, eat meals or receive services?
Many people considering moving to an Assisted Living community find themselves at a time of change in life. Perhaps their ability to drive safely has changed. That often brings difficulties connecting with friends and families, going to the grocery, bank, church or other key parts of life without relying on others. For those who stay in a single-family home, this single change can lead to isolation, poor eating habits and other problems that significantly reduce their quality of life.
Assisted Living at Hermitage Richmond is programmed and staffed to remove these dangers and replace them with maintenance-free living and easy opportunities for privacy or social interactions. Most importantly, these programs and activities connect residents with their loved ones and the greater community on their terms and as they direct. They enjoy a much richer social and mental life. Many residents find their physical health significantly improves when they move to Hermitage Richmond, usually because living in a better home has enhanced their emotional and mental health.
Yes. Assisted Living communities in the Commonwealth of Virginia are licensed through the Department of Social Services (DSS). In addition to being licensed by the DSS, Hermitage Richmond is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Fewer than 15% of the communities in the nation are reviewed, approved and certified by CARF. We are proud to hold up this seal of approval for our residents and their families.
