The Heritage Inn Charlottesville offers both Assisted Living and dedicated Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. Clinical oversight is anchored by registered and licensed practical nurses who monitor residents with wandering behaviors—day or night—manage elopement risk, and attend to individuals who may become combative or display other behavioral issues. Comprehensive diabetic management is available, covering oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Residents under 60, those who require oxygen therapy, specialized diets, or ongoing wound care are accepted, and the team can accommodate individuals who routinely stay up all night.
Round-the-clock nursing coverage is complemented by on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapists, a visiting podiatrist, and hospice coordination if needed. Care aides provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, adjusting help levels as residents’ conditions change. Transfer support ranges from supervision with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound individuals. The building is designed for memory support and operates as a secured, memory-care-capable environment.
Apartments vary in layout and finishes; some include kitchenettes and cable service, while others do not, so prospective residents should verify specific features during a tour. Meals are prepared three times daily, with options for set menus or on-order selections, and snacks are available between meals. The culinary staff can follow physician-ordered diet modifications and texture adjustments. For residents in the Independent Living section, weekly housekeeping and laundry services are provided, allowing them to remain self-sufficient without the burden of routine chores.
Resident parking is available for those who still drive, and scheduled transportation can be arranged for medical appointments and local errands. On-site conveniences include a barber and beauty salon as well as community-wide internet access to help residents stay connected to family and friends.
