Spring Arbor Of Richmond sits in the west end area of Henrico as a senior living community that mainly offers assisted living and memory care for older adults who can't safely live alone but don't need the round-the-clock skilled nursing care you find in nursing homes. Residents can choose from private suites, studios, or one- or two-bedroom apartments, all with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, climate control, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, so folks have what they need to feel comfortable. Some rooms are fully furnished, and there are both private and shared options. The building has easy access for folks with mobility concerns and features things like a 24-hour call system for emergencies, air-conditioning, and lots of community spaces such as a movie theater, activity room, arts room, game room, fitness room, library, and outdoor gardens with walking paths, so there's plenty to do.
Assisted living services at Spring Arbor Of Richmond include support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and staff offer help any time, day or night. There's a nurse on-site for 12 to 16 hours a day, and there's always supervision. Staff look after housekeeping, linens, and laundry, so chores aren't a worry. Meal service uses organic food and can work with special diets, and folks eat in a dining room with restaurant-style service. The kitchen prepares all meals, and there are options for snacks as well. Transportation is provided for going to doctor's appointments or getting around town when needed.
Spring Arbor Of Richmond runs focused programs for memory care, including Alzheimer's and dementia care, aiming to reduce confusion and keep people safe from wandering. It uses things like Validation Therapy and has programs like "Art from the Heart" where residents with memory problems express themselves through art, which some say helps. Staff pay attention to each person's routine and needs, trying to keep things as familiar and safe as possible, and aim for a gentle, stable environment to help everyone feel at home.
The place welcomes pets through pet therapy, giving seniors a chance to interact with animals if they choose, which tends to be helpful for mood and comfort. Activities and life enrichment events are common, like music programs or resident-run gatherings, and there are spaces for group events or quiet time. The on-site barber shop, salon, and spa make it easier to keep up everyday routines. It's also possible to stay short-term for respite care.
Spring Arbor Of Richmond is organized to encourage independence while still being ready to give help when health or memory issues make it needed. Teams are described as caring, and they try to know each resident's preferences-whether someone chooses independent living, needs help, or needs specialized memory care. The setting tries to foster a sense of connection among residents, families, and staff. There's a focus on safety, privacy, and respect, and the facility aims to be a place where older adults feel supported and engaged. The overall feeling is practical and steady, with the staff paying as much attention to each person as possible and focusing on well-being above all.
