Our Lady of Hope Health Center

Our Lady of Hope Health Center has served seniors with steady compassion since 1996 in Richmond, VA, and folks who call this place home can get care that fits the different changes that come with aging, whether someone needs assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, or even help recovering after an illness through skilled rehabilitation. The staff includes on-site cardiopulmonary, physical, occupational, and speech therapists who work closely with each resident, along with others providing respiratory therapy, music therapy, and pastoral care. The building has spaces that feel peaceful and let people keep their independence, with large apartments and both private or shared studios for comfort, depending on what someone needs or wants to afford. The community keeps 24-hour nursing care so families get peace of mind knowing help's always close at hand, and the center's non-profit status means they try to honor what each resident would like or need in their day-to-day life. Residents don't pay buy-in fees, and the cost is open for anyone to see, with a private room at $455 per day and a semi-private at $362 per day. The facility has 75 licensed beds and 65.8 full-time equivalent staff, so it stays big enough to offer lots of support but still feels personal, and through the last year there were 26,116 patient days, which shows folks stay here for both short and long stretches. Enrichment programs, good food, and friendly neighbors round out the days for residents, making space for hope even through hard times.
