Senior Living Communities play a crucial role in supporting the overall health of older adults by fostering a balanced and holistic approach to well-being. Hermitage Roanoke is a Life Plan Community that emphasizes physical, emotional and social health. We provide resources and opportunities for residents to engage in pursuits that enhance their quality of life.
Our supportive team members prioritize residents' health through fitness programs, nutritious meal options, mental health support and social engagement opportunities. Seniors can access personalized services designed to meet their unique needs by choosing a community that values resident-led lifestyles.
Comprehensive wellness programs focus on physical and mental well-being, offering older adults various ways to stay active and engaged. Enhancing health and wellness is a cornerstone at Hermitage Roanoke and is supported by our Pathways to Wellness program.
Health and fitness opportunities to build strength, endurance and self-confidence include exercise classes and balance programs. These programs enable residents to feel their best and contribute to their overall health.
Equally important are programs that support mental well-being. Hermitage Roanoke has programs that help residents understand their feelings and better cope with challenges. Yoga, pet therapy, resident support groups and connections with nature are available for those seeking emotional balance.
Stimulating the mind also fosters comprehensive wellness. Older adults can keep their minds active and growing through lifelong learning. Our partnerships with local colleges and universities, computer classes and stimulating group lectures promote continued intellectual growth. Even our book clubs and museum trips engage the mind and help support a holistic approach to wellness.
To promote healthy eating habits, Hermitage Roanoke has a highly skilled team who create nutritious meals for residents. Nutrition and dining services are crucial to overall health, especially for residents with special dietary needs. Our chef works with a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition to create healthy yet delicious dishes that accommodate each individual's needs or preferences.
Residents enjoy the finest restaurant-quality service, whether dining al fresco on Casselwold’s patio or in our dining room. Fresh, seasonal ingredients and cooked-to-order choices ensure a satisfying dining experience. Residents may also participate in cooking classes to learn new skills and explore healthy recipes for further dietary support.
Remaining healthy hinges on accessible health services. Hermitage Roanoke offers convenient on-site medical services to ensure residents receive the personalized support they need without leaving the community. We also maintain partnerships with local health providers and provide scheduled transportation to medical appointments.
To support everyday health, we have nurses who conduct blood pressure and other vital sign checks. These health professionals can also answer health questions and discuss medication issues. Residents needing ongoing support for pain or stiffness or after an injury or illness can access physical and occupational restorative services.
Social engagement is integral to a senior’s mental and emotional well-being. An active social life helps combat feelings of isolation, loneliness and depression. Research has shown that staying engaged improves an older adult’s physical and mental health.
Social and recreational opportunities are plentiful in Life Plan Communities. Hermitage Roanoke has paved walking paths, art classes, on-site entertainment and group outings to provide opportunities for physical fitness and socializing.
Volunteer and service opportunities are other avenues of engagement. Many residents enjoy giving back to their community by volunteering for meaningful causes on and off campus. Serving on committees and clubs or joining the Resident Council are great ways for seniors to volunteer within our Senior Living Community. These and other opportunities promote social engagement and a strong sense of fulfillment.
Individual health plans are created based on regular assessments conducted by trained professionals. These professionals work closely with residents to identify their goals and health requirements. A personalized care plan may include recommendations for physical support, nutritional guidance or access to restorative services.
Regular health assessments ensure adjustments are made as needed, so residents continuously receive the appropriate level of support. This personalized approach promotes ongoing health and wellness.
Because Hermitage Roanoke is a Life Plan Community, residents have peace of mind knowing they are supported by a continuum of care. If their healthcare needs change, so does their support. They can comfortably age in place, with access to Assisted Living, Nursing Care and Rehabilitation Therapy.
Dogwood Lane is our healthcare community. It offers complete healthcare services, including 24-hour access to nursing professionals, rehabilitation and long-term supportive services.
