Warm Hearth Village sits on a 220-acre woodland campus in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where about 600 people live in a mix of homes, townhomes, and apartments. This nonprofit retirement community offers active adult living for those 55 and better, independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing care, and long-term nursing care, so people who move here can usually stay even if their needs change. Folks find both short- and long-term care, including help for those if they're recovering from an illness or surgery, and memory care in a safe setting for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. The campus has Woodland Trails, the salt water pool, and a variety of on-campus spaces like the Village Center-where you'll find a pool, café, community room, a new fitness center, and indoor and outdoor dining options, so residents don't have to go far to find ways to spend their day or join in on activities.
Residents at Warm Hearth Village have paved walking and hiking trails, outdoor recreation courts, gardens, community wildlife, and the Huckleberry Trail close by. They get home and grounds maintenance, lawn care, snow and trash removal, and security patrols for peace of mind. Transportation services help residents get to places on and off campus, and if someone needs insurance counseling or help with daily activities like bathing or medication, those services are available 24/7, too. Every room comes with high-speed internet, over 100 cable channels, and digital phone service, so people can stay connected. Meals and snacks are served daily in dining rooms like the Fireside Grill, and the Village Gourmet Catering team can help with special events.
There are several choices for where to live, depending on what someone's looking for. Founders Forest Townhomes offer six single-level floor plans with universal design, so aging in place is easier, and there's emergency response call systems in both the townhomes and apartments. Assisted living and memory care apartments have kitchenettes, large bathrooms, easy access walking paths, and community kitchens, plus support from specially trained teams who work to make it feel like home. The Showalter Center and Kroontje Health Care Center both offer private and semi-private rooms, and residents can bring their own things to decorate. Trolinger & New River House Apartments are set aside for seniors age 62 and better and offer an inclusive, safe environment with easy access to all amenities, and those who live there get priority access to Warm Hearth's full range of care.
Warm Hearth at Home provides health and rehabilitation services to help with recovery, personal care, and medication management, even if someone prefers to stay in their own home. Residents can visit the Treasure Trove Thrift Store, walk to the on-site Carilion Clinic Family Practice, or join activities at the Karr Activity Center. The nonprofit Warm Hearth Foundation helps support residents with food, personal care items, fresh produce, and pet supplies. People can enjoy the community's lush natural surroundings, see plenty of wildlife, and take part in programs for lifelong learning, fitness, and social events, thanks to dedicated long-term staff and management, and everything is kept up by regular maintenance and evening security patrols. Residents find most necessities included in one lease, with housekeeping, nursing support, and all utilities, and there's always something new to discover around the Village Center or out on the trails.
