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.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Virginia Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
