Heritage House of Richmond offers a wide range of services for seniors needing different levels of care, including Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, Continuing Care, Nursing Homes, Home Care, Respite Care, and even Adult Day Care programs, and the community's set up really puts a focus on comfort, dignity, and independence, with renovated rooms, a family room for visits, and lots of well-lit common areas where folks can gather and socialize when they're up to it. There's a big therapy gym and a special area called Park Manor, which has 12 private suites, each with its own living room, a therapy room, and a private dining space, along with a full ADL kitchen for practicing daily skills. Residents get three home-cooked meals a day, prepared by a professional chef with meal plans that can be adjusted for people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or other medical issues, and folks can eat in the dining room with restaurant-style service, choose all-day dining, or take advantage of the special dietary options.
The facility includes many areas for relaxation and activities, like an arts and crafts room, a library, a reading room, an on-site movie theater, game and recreation rooms, and outside there are walking paths and garden spaces for those who enjoy being outdoors, plus a jacuzzi, a steam room, and a spa/sauna/wellness area for people who want to unwind. There are different types of rooms, all furnished and equipped with high-speed internet, cable TV, and private bathrooms, and everything is wheelchair accessible. Residents can stay active with fitness programs, scheduled daily events, music and animal therapy, craft programs, and outdoor activities, or they might just join in on a community night event.
Housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning are all provided, and move-in coordination helps new residents settle in. There are mobile barbers and hairdressers, and an on-site beauty salon, so folks can get a trim without heading out. The community runs its own activities, but residents also organize their own programs when they feel like it, and there's a big focus on social engagement, whether that means games, movies, reading, or simply chatting over coffee. Transportation is handled by the facility for medical appointments, shopping trips, and visits to spiritual facilities, and parking is available for those who still drive.
Heritage House of Richmond supports people who need help with mobility, transfer aid, and non-ambulatory care, and the staff are available 24 hours a day to help with showering, dressing, toileting, bathing, and grooming, with a high level of supervision and safety protocols in place, including a call system to summon help quickly if it's needed and a security system to keep everyone safe. The community offers specialized support for memory challenges, with secure areas designed to prevent wandering, dedicated Alzheimer's programs, and therapies aimed at memory care residents. Rehabilitation services cover physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, with a focus on both long-term and short-term recovery, including personalized treatment plans, and services like IV therapy, wound care, and medication management are all part of the healthcare offering. Heritage House partners with the Department of Veterans Affairs to support veterans' needs, and there's respite care to give caregivers a break for a little while.
Everybody's encouraged to keep their minds and bodies active with scheduled exercise, therapy, and health programs, and there's a strong effort to create a safe, comfortable environment that feels welcoming, with staff focusing on each resident's unique physical, emotional, and mental health needs, all while making sure folks get the support and activity they need to enjoy their time in the community.
