Our Lady of the Valley offers two primary levels of residential care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—allowing residents to receive support that matches their cognitive and physical needs. Short-term Respite stays are accepted, making the community an option for those recovering from illness or giving family caregivers a break. Diabetes management is available, and on-site speech therapy helps residents maintain communication abilities. The presence of licensed nurses supports medication administration and day-to-day health monitoring, reinforcing the community’s focus on clinical oversight within a home-like environment.
Additional clinical resources are in place to address changing health conditions. An emergency call system connects residents to staff around the clock, and hospice services can be arranged on-site, minimizing disruptive moves at the end of life. Occupational and physical therapists visit the community, podiatry care is scheduled regularly, and specialized programs handle ambulatory assistance, incontinence care, and overall nursing care. The campus also offers continuing care coordination and resident or family counseling, ensuring that both medical and emotional needs are considered in care plans.
Living spaces are designed for practicality and comfort. Studio and efficiency apartments are available, some fully furnished, and selected units include a washer and dryer. All residences have utilities, central air conditioning, cable television, and Wi-Fi included, though individual floor plans differ and not every apartment contains every listed feature. Outdoor areas, gardens, and ample parking give residents and visitors easy access to the property, while wheelchair-accessible showers help maintain safety and independence.
Meals are prepared on-site and are included in the monthly rate. The culinary staff can accommodate vegetarian, kosher, low-sodium, and gluten- or allergen-free menus, allowing residents to adhere to medical or cultural dietary requirements without difficulty. Flexible dining times and menu choices support personal preferences while ensuring nutritional standards are met.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, television and movie nights, and a variety of clubs and social outings. Health and wellness programs encourage regular exercise and preventive care, while scheduled time outdoors lets residents enjoy fresh air and the landscaped grounds. These services are intended to keep residents engaged, active, and connected with their peers and the broader Roanoke community.
