Our Lady of the Valley

Our Lady of the Valley has 70 licensed beds and sits at 650 North Jefferson Street in Roanoke, Virginia, where it's served seniors since 1989. The community offers both assisted living and memory care, so families who need long-term care or specialized help for Alzheimer's or dementia can find services here. Memory care housing tries to help residents feel safe and prevent wandering, and nurses stay on-site around the clock. Meagan Seale is the full-time administrator during a recent year where patient days reached 23,393. People living here can choose semi-private rooms at $324 per day or private rooms for $379 per day. The community doesn't ask for a large buy-in, making moving in simpler. Skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, and help with daily activities like bathing or dressing are all provided. Residents can take part in art through Opening Minds through Art (OMA), join the choir, or just enjoy programs designed to keep everyone engaged. Amenities like high-speed Wi-Fi, handicap access, and on-site parking aim to make life easier. Friendly staff, numbering about 66 full-time equivalents, care for the residents with patience, compassion, and respect. Owned by the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, the not-for-profit and nondenominational community has focused on care and wellness for over thirty years. Dining is available with various menus, and there's always something going on-whether it's a community event, scheduled activity, or something in the Open Hearts newsletter. Staff work hard to provide quality care while trying to preserve each resident's sense of independence.
