Overview of Friendship Assisted Living

You will find six care types at Friendship Assisted Living in Roanoke, VA. namely independent living, respite care, skilled nursing, memory care, the nursing home designation, and assisted living. Bathing, dressing, and medication belong to the assisted living level, and a resident keeps a private apartment. Independent living brings the community’s services and leaves daily care aside.

Memory care runs in a secure area under supervision for a resident who might otherwise wander. The two nursing designations are the ones licensed nursing care belongs to. Respite is a short-term stay taken while a usual caregiver travels or recovers, which gives the family a temporary arrangement.

Because so many levels are licensed here, a resident whose needs grow later does not go looking elsewhere. There are 120 beds, and Alex Parker has the administrator’s job.

Rehab & Therapy is the named program covering rehabilitation. Pets are allowed, so an animal stays with its owner when they move in.

Overview of Assisted Living at Lucy Corr

Assisted Living at Lucy Corr offers nursing home, Adult Day Care, Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing in Chesterfield, Virginia.

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?

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.
