Apostolic Christian Home of Roanoke gives care for seniors in a setting meant to feel welcoming and secure, and folks looking for a place with different levels of support can find things here like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, and even short-term rehab and respite care if all that's needed is a break or some recovery time, so there's plenty of options depending on what a person needs and how much help they might want every day. The staff works alongside families to help meet not just the physical needs but also the spiritual and mental needs of residents, as the place is owned and run by the Roanoke Apostolic Christian Church and wants everyone to feel respect and Christian love regardless of their background-there's a policy that says care's given to all, regardless of race, color, national origin, handicap, or age, so folks really are welcome.
People who move in can pick from studios, one-bedroom, semi-private, or even two-bedroom rooms, and every spot has access to cozy indoor spaces, outdoor areas, and private rooms if folks prefer quiet moments, which helps everyone find a comfortable routine no matter how social they like to be. Meals get provided, which saves seniors from needing to cook, and there are daily activities to help folks keep moving or connect with neighbors so no one feels left out, plus therapy like physical, occupational, and speech therapy's available right on-site. Skilled staff are always present 24 hours a day-you can count on help for things like getting up from bed, managing diabetes and insulin, or responding if someone has an emergency.
Specialized care's offered too, including skilled nursing and memory support, and there's even palliative care for folks with serious illnesses. For families or caregivers needing temporary help, respite services are available, and palliative support aims to keep everyone comfortable. The facility has plans and pricing that fit different needs-whether someone pays privately, uses insurance, social security, veteran's benefits, Medicare or Medicaid, there's a system for high, medium, and low care needs, as well as separate fees for things like a community or buy-in fee, and the staff helps explain how that all works. Apostolic Christian Home of Roanoke has earned high marks, getting the U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Home Award and a Five Star rating from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which says a lot about how hard the staff works to keep care standards up.
Tours are encouraged and you can arrange to see the community, meet the staff, and see how folks live day-to-day, so anyone who's looking can get a good feel before making any decision. Seniors of all backgrounds and denominations can feel welcome, and the whole place is designed to help people age with dignity and comfort, with support from a caring team who values each resident's needs-physical, social, and spiritual-each day.
