Question 1

What is the process to consider Independent Living at Hermitage Richmond?

Accepted Answer

The first step is to provide your general personal, health and financial information, which we are happy to help you assemble.Personal, health and financial information is then reviewed.A nurse and social worker meet with the potential resident to assess the appropriate level of living and to do an assessment to determine the proper level of support is recommended (Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Health Care)

Question 2

Is this process different from other alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many communities do not discuss finances with potential residents. At Hermitage Richmond, we include a financial and actuarial review for many reasons. Most importantly, we want to be sure residents can live on their terms and do not have to move again if they are blessed with longevity, and their level of living needs change. Hermitage Richmond is part of Pinnacle Living and a not-for-profit organization, which means something to us. We form a lifetime relationship with our residents and commit to assisting those who, through no fault of their own, cannot fully meet the financial responsibilities of their residence or care.

Question 3

What exactly is an Independent Living community?

Accepted Answer

Independent Living means many different things depending on the community. Some communities are basically apartments that are age-restricted and do not offer any services or safety nets. Others may offer some assistance through partners.

Independent Living at Hermitage Richmond is fully integrated into the community, offering the best of both worlds. Choose a suitable residence and location and enjoy maintenance-free living without investing a hefty entrance fee. Enjoy private parking and full access to on- and off-site events, programs and activities.

There is also the convenience of services, including delicious meals, housekeeping, fresh linens, transportation and laundry services. And because Hermitage Richmond is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), if a resident needs Assisted Living services, they do not have to move! Only in the case of a need for a secure area to ensure those with memory issues are safe or where 24-hour nursing supervision is required do our residents move within the community to McGuire Park or The Grove Health Care Center.

More Independence, Less Worry
