Heritage Hall Blacksburg operates as a nursing-home level provider, geared toward individuals who need 24-hour skilled attention. Licensed nursing staff monitor residents day and night, manage medications, and coordinate directly with physicians to follow treatment plans. The center also accepts short-stay respite admissions, giving family caregivers a reliable option for temporary coverage. On-site physical therapy is available for both long-term residents and short-term guests, allowing patients to work on mobility, strength, or post-surgical recovery without leaving the building.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the staff builds personalized care schedules that include assistance with activities of daily living, wound care oversight, and regular health assessments to adjust care plans as needs change. An interdisciplinary team—including therapists, social services, and dietitians—meets routinely to track progress and keep family members informed. Emergency response systems and routine safety checks aim to reduce falls and other incidents, adding an extra layer of security.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered in several layouts, some situated near Midwest Village-style common areas, others overlooking the Nicholas Conservatory & Anderson Gardens-inspired outdoor spaces. Residents have access to landscaped courtyards, walking paths, and designated outdoor garden spots, while in-room Wi-Fi helps them stay connected with family and medical portals. Not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should review specific room configurations during a visit.
Dining is handled on-site, with three daily meals prepared to match physician-ordered dietary guidelines. A dietitian works with the culinary team to adjust textures, control sodium, and monitor carbohydrate counts when needed. Staff assist those who require help eating, and alternate entrée choices are available to accommodate individual preferences or allergies.
Residents have use of an activity center that hosts scheduled programs, clubs and community gatherings that encourage social interaction, a library and computer lounge for quiet reading or online access, and a dedicated arts and crafts area for creative projects. Regular events in these spaces provide routine engagement and help residents maintain cognitive and social skills.
