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.

Overview of Hermitage Three Chopt

A Walk Score of 39 puts Hermitage Three Chopt in the somewhat walkable band in Richmond, Virginia. Some errands work on foot around the address, which shapes whether a visit is a quick stop or a built-in afternoon. Memory care runs here in a secured setting with supervision.

Dementia takes a familiar route and makes it unfamiliar, so a person can get lost on a street they’ve walked for thirty years. That is what a secured setting is for. At 48 beds, the building stays small, and a person losing track of names has fewer of them to lose track of.

Shakerrie Allmod is the administrator. Health & Wellness and Volunteer Opportunities are named programs.
