Overview of Manorhouse Assisted Living & Memory Care

Manorhouse Assisted Living & Memory Care offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Richmond, VA. Independent living means a resident has a private living space with community services but no daily care. Assisted living adds help with everyday tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medications while the resident keeps an apartment.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Having several care types in one community may make Manorhouse Assisted Living & Memory Care a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, since the resident may be able to move between care levels without leaving the community.

The community has 100 beds and provides rehabilitation services. Complimentary transportation to outside doctor and medical appointments reduces the need for family members to arrange those rides. Medicare is accepted as a payment option, though it generally covers eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence.

A Walk Score of 59 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still be able to complete certain nearby errands independently. Mrs. Luann Paul serves as the administrator.

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.
