Overview of Covenant Columns

Covenant Columns offers assisted living, memory care, residential care, and respite care in Richmond, VA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Residential care provides ongoing support in a residential setting, while respite care offers a short stay when a person’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having assisted living and memory care in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time. Several room arrangements are available. Private rooms and apartments give one resident a single living space, while semi private rooms and companion suites provide shared options, with a companion suite potentially suiting two people moving together.

Enrichment activities are tailored to individual interests and capabilities, so residents can take part in programming that fits what they enjoy and what they can manage. Memory care engagement activities provide programming designed specifically for that setting. Rehabilitation services are also available. The starting price is $3,800 per month, giving families an initial figure for monthly budgeting.

Founded in 1996, Covenant Columns is family owned and operated. Kashif Mohammad serves as director. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living, memory care, residential care, or a short respite stay, including a resident whose needs may change over time.
