August Health Care at Richmond sits on a quiet, sprawling campus in the West End, at 1503 Michael Road in Richmond, Virginia, and this small, 32-bed facility focuses on skilled nursing, assisted living, independent senior living, and palliative care, all managed under the direction of Mr. Donald R. Liegey. The building has separate spaces for different needs, with assisted living rooms found on the second floor and nursing and rehab services on the first. Each private suite comes furnished, with private bathrooms and telephones included, so every resident has a homelike quiet space with round-the-clock supervision, emergency call systems in each room, and support for all activities of daily living like dressing, bathing, transfer assistance, and medication management.
Residents have access to a care team that includes an in-house doctor and therapy staff, offering services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus nursing care and care coordination among professionals. The well-equipped gym supports advanced rehab, and there's a wide menu of rehab and therapy programs for residents recovering from illness, injury, or surgery. There's help with long-term and short-term care, respite care when families need a break, and support tailored to individual needs so each person gets a care plan just for them. Community amenities, like walking paths, green spaces, and gardens, create a peaceful outdoor setting for relaxation and exercise. The grounds also feature an arts room and spaces for crafts, so residents and visitors can unwind or stay busy as they choose. Residents can join in on daily community-run and resident-run activities like movie nights, arts and crafts, or strolls outside.
The dining room serves restaurant-style meals all day, with menu options for dietary needs-accommodating allergies or diabetes-and meal prep plus service are part of daily life, like any well-kept home. Services like laundry, housekeeping, and even dry-cleaning are available, and there's a barber and salon on campus, so folks can take care of themselves without leaving the grounds. The facility offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and therapy services, plus traditional support for palliative and post-acute care, all in a setting that tries to be warm, caring, and homey, rather than large or impersonal, and the campus is designed for both privacy and community.
August Health Care at Richmond is recognized by local health care associations and works with August Healthcare's other locations in Virginia and North Carolina, bringing in more resources when needed. You'll find both staff-organized and resident-led activities, a community center, spacious rooms, open areas, and places where the rules and the routine give comfort, all in a peaceful, intimate setting. With supervision and help always nearby, and amenities found in most skilled nursing facilities, the focus remains on promoting well-being, independence, and a supportive environment for seniors. Everything-from emergency alert systems to move-in help and daily engagement-is aimed at making life a little easier and more comfortable for each person living there. You can tour the facility to see how meals, activities, and care work on a daily basis. More information is at www.augustrichmond.com.
