Community Reviews
They do a fantastic job with the care...
reviewed on: 02/13/2014 by Loved oneThey do a fantastic job with the care here, and watching out for Mom's overall health. She's in a safe environment with caregivers who are really on top of things. When I was looking into care options for her I looked through 5 years of the state health inspection records and this facility was one of the best in the state. They've really proven themselves. My Mom fell ill a few weeks ago, and an employee immediately realized it was more than just a cold or a flu and rushed her to the hospital, and the doctor told us if she had come in any more than an hour later she would likely have died of pneumonia. Another really great aspect of this community is that their maintenance department is outstanding. Any problems or simple installations you have (shelves, bathroom fixtures) they'll take care of quickly and professionally. They do have a few area I'd really like to see them improve on, however. Number one is the food. It is absolutely terrible. My Mom complains constantly, and I eat there myself once or twice a month and meals served for dinner have been uniformly awful. They are either tepid or outright cold. The activities also are not good. They are poorly organized and not advertised to the residents well. Those issues aside this really is a safe place, and the care they provide is amazing. I would recommend looking into this place during your search.
A very nice community. Eve...

reviewed on: 10/30/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerVery large facility. marketing person who was very helpful. Lots of residents sitting in lobby. One said he was bored. No other activities observed going on.
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.
Hermitage is excellent
reviewed on: 10/25/2018 by Patty GarrettMy father moved into the Hermitage in early Sept 2018. We couldn't be more happy. I was looking for a place for my Dad and after talking to Lynette Mitchell I basically stopped my search. She was so lovely and answered all my questions and gave such a great overview of the place. When we saw it, we knew it would be right for my dad. He has had some complications health wise and Hermitage has worked with us every step of the way. The entire staff is incredibly caring and respectful. My Dad has a beautiful apartment and it is quite reasonable without a big buy-in fee. The food is great and the place is very clean. They have tons of activities. They are very careful about who they hire, it is obvious to me. Cheerful, kind, compassionate people everywhere. Patty G.
