Overview of The Lodge at Old Trail

The Lodge at Old Trail offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Crozet, VA. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other tasks while a resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

The Lodge at Old Trail opened in 2012 and has 166 beds. Residents live in a setting with more residents and staff, and usually more programming, than a smaller home. Starting prices are $4,445 for independent living, $5,969 for assisted living, and $6,824 for memory care, giving families the entry price associated with each living option. Respite care is available for short stays when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Dining venues include Gregg’s Pub and Patio, the Corner Café, and the Ridges dining room, with fresh, local cuisine as the stated focus. Outdoor spaces include walking trails and gardens, while a fitness center, library, and social, cultural, spiritual, and fitness programs give residents places to exercise, spend time outdoors, read, and take part in organized activities. Scheduled transportation provides an organized way to travel for planned activities, and rehabilitation services are also available. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving into the community. A Walk Score of 59 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot; a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some nearby errands independently. Elizabeth Barber serves as the administrator.

Overview of Golden Years & More Assisted Living

3804 Brandon Avenue Sw, Roanoke, VA 24018
Overview of Brandon Oaks

Brandon Oaks in Roanoke, VA, covers independent living and assisted living. Memory care, home care, and skilled nursing are part of the same range.

When wandering has become a risk, memory care’s answer is supervision in a secured space. Home care takes services out to a person’s residence, and skilled nursing is licensed nursing care.

Needs that grow over time need not mean a move to a different community. Jessica White administers Brandon Oaks, which has 80 beds and allows residents to bring pets. The home bills Medicaid and Medicare, and also takes private pay.

Rehabilitation services cover two kinds of therapy. Inpatient therapies happen during a stay, while outpatient services let someone come in for scheduled visits instead.

Overview of Elizabeth House Assisted Living

Overview of Brighter Living Assisted Living and Memory Care

The license at Brighter Living Assisted Living and Memory Care in Hopewell, VA, covers assisted living, nursing care, and respite care. Assisted living handles the daily tasks. Nursing care is the step past that, for a resident whose support has become clinical.

Rooms come as private or semi-private across 80 beds. Carrie Jackson holds the administrator post. A salon, a sunroom, and multiple social rooms are on the amenity list, with transportation among the services.

Forty-six is the Walk Score for the area, low enough for the car-dependent label; most errands mean taking a car ride.
