Overview of Our Lady of Hope Health Center

Our Lady of Hope Health Center has been running on Richmond’s outer edge since 1996. The 97-bed campus at 13700 N Gayton Rd covers nursing home, assisted living, and memory care under one roof, in a car-dependent neighborhood 13.5 miles from the city center (Walk Score 27). Assisted Living Administrator Annemarie Neville, RN, BSN, LNHA, leads the operation.

The facility runs at 69% occupancy, with 67 of 97 beds filled and an average stay of 72 days. That length of stay is the most clarifying data point: it marks this as a primarily short-stay, post-acute setting. Skilled rehabilitation services are confirmed on-site, consistent with a facility oriented around recovery and discharge rather than permanent placement.

Nursing coverage totals 4 hours per resident per day. LPN/LVN staff account for 1 hour 20 minutes of that; nurse aides carry 2 hours 18 minutes; registered nurses add 29 minutes. An Active Resident Council meets regularly, giving residents an organized channel for input on policies and daily operations.

State inspections have centered on care planning and documentation, resident rights and protections, and fall and injury prevention. Medicare and private pay are accepted.

This is a short-stay rehabilitation community first, with the additional reach of assisted living and memory care for residents who need a longer-term home. Families navigating post-acute discharge from a Richmond-area hospital will find the most direct fit here.

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.
