Village At Manorcare in Richmond provides assisted living backed by comprehensive medical oversight. The community can manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet requirements, and the full spectrum of diabetic care—oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale coverage—while also admitting residents younger than 60. An RN or LPN is onsite at all times, and a nurse remains on call 24/7 to supplement that coverage. Moderate dementia needs are addressed through tailored care plans and ongoing observation. Residents also benefit from on-site podiatry, limiting the need for outside appointments and streamlining continuity of care.
Safety and daily support are embedded in the routine. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift, door alarms, fenced rear grounds, and pull-cord call systems reinforce round-the-clock security. Caregivers can offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they handle transfers involving stand-by supervision, walkers, wheelchairs, or a one-person lift. An activity director coordinates programming that balances engagement with each resident’s medical profile.
Apartments vary in layout and amenity mix; some come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, and cable connections, while others include only a portion of these features. Maintenance is handled by the community, and residents can personalize their spaces within safety guidelines.
Meals are served from a set menu with the option to order alternates at each sitting, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary staff works closely with nursing to meet physician-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic, low-sodium, and texture-controlled menus. Independent-living residents can rely on an in-house laundry service that handles washing, drying, and folding, eliminating a routine chore while preserving autonomy.
Resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and on-site religious services round out the amenity package. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
