Community Reviews
I have been very pleased.
reviewed on: 03/31/2014 by KarenI have been very pleased. I think you get a lot for your money, there seems to be a lot that they offer. At this point there really isn't anything that needs to be done better or improved. They have a choice at every meal, which is nice. It's run by the Virginia United Methodist Church, which is something that we really liked.
A very nice community. Eve...

Good Value and Location
reviewed on: 09/16/2013 by SonI think the value is great. I guess an improvement would be communicating with the families a little bit better. Sometimes you have to drag the information out rather than it being offered. My dad is doing alright there. He says the food is good. I've eaten there and I wouldn't say it's good - it's average or what's to be expected. They have a whole range of activities - drives, bingo, music, church. We chose The Hermitage pretty quickly in our search because of the value and the location.
How lucky we were to find the Hermitage!
reviewed on: 06/06/2013 by SuzanneFrom the first time we went on a tour with Lynette M., we realized we had found the almost perfect place for our loved one. We had visited other places but they fell far short of Hermitage. Lynette's honesty, warmth, and cheerfulness with not only us, but with all the staff and residents we encountered on the tour, were a positive factor in convincing us to apply for an apartment. Since that initial encounter, we have had only positive experiences with the staff and residents. The food is delicious, too. And, we know other folks who have decided that this is a great place for their loved ones.
Offers Independent and Assisted Living
reviewed on: 07/23/2013 by Would Recommend Checking Out for Independent/Assisted LivingWe only toured The Hermitage but it was really clean. They had just replaced the carpet and you could instantly tell what floor you were on because the carpet was different on every floor. I believe the facility had four or five floors. We met a resident who showed us her apartment. She had all of her own furniture and she even invited us into her walk-in closet. When we were there they were hosting a pretty well attended ice cream social. Not sure if this is helpful but I saw pretty equal numbers of men and women that all looked like residents. This place felt more clinical than The Washington House, but the apartments had nice kitchenettes with a fridge and microwave.
