Overview of Heritage Village Assisted Living and Memory Care

Heritage Village Assisted Living and Memory Care offers assisted living and memory care in Gainesville, VA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. The community may be a good fit for someone whose care needs could grow over time, since both care levels are available in one community.

Heritage Village Assisted Living and Memory Care has 152 beds, making it a larger setting with more residents and staff and usually more programming. Starting prices are $5,395 per month for assisted living and $9,999 per month for memory care; the difference reflects the smaller staff ratios and secured setting associated with memory care. George Winters serves as the administrator.

The community has pet-friendly apartments, allowing a resident to live with a pet. Health Care Navigation and Lifestyle & Activities are also available as specific programs, supporting health-related navigation and planned activities. A car-dependent Walk Score of 42 means most errands require a car or a ride, so residents who no longer drive would generally need transportation for those trips.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover memory care?

Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 304 memory care communities in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
