Overview of The Village at Orchard Ridge

The Village at Orchard Ridge is a continuing care retirement community in Winchester, Virginia, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and respite care on a single campus. That range lets residents move between levels of care as their needs change without relocating to a new community. The campus is owned by National Lutheran Inc and administered by Melissa Sellers.

With 47 beds, the community runs at about 79 percent occupancy. Most residents arrive for short-term rehabilitation, typically staying anywhere from a few weeks to a few months rather than settling in long-term. Nursing support is substantial, with total nursing care averaging 4 hours and 53 minutes per resident each day and registered nurses contributing roughly 1 hour and 26 minutes of that time, a level of coverage that supports both post-acute recovery and ongoing care needs.

Care here includes rehabilitation services, general nursing care, and respite stays for families who need short-term relief, all backed by round-the-clock staffing. The campus also includes a secured memory care unit for residents who need that added layer of oversight. Medicare and private pay are both accepted for skilled nursing stays, giving families more than one way to cover the cost of care. Residents are welcome to bring their pets, an option that matters to many families weighing a move.

State health inspections here have periodically pointed to documentation and infection-control practices, including medication administration recordkeeping and hand hygiene during medication rounds, with corrective plans put in place to address them. The community sits in a very walkable part of Winchester, scoring 92 out of 100, so daily errands and visits don’t require a car for those living nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Virginia

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Virginia?

Assisted living in Virginia supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Virginia?

Assisted living in Virginia is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover assisted living?

Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Virginia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 348 assisted living facilities in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Virginia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Virginia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Virginia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
