Manorhouse Assisted Living & Memory Care offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Richmond, VA.

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.

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.

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.
