History

Hermitage in Roanoke started with a tight knit group of local people driven to make their corner of the world a better place. These original trustees acquired Casselwold, a fine Georgian Mansion and 10 wooded acres near the country club in Roanoke, in 1964. That passionate group merged the Roanoke community with the burgeoning Pinnacle Living family of communities in 1965. From that strong beginning to today the community has repeatedly renovated and expanded to build a team, a reputation and a great sense of community in this special part of Roanoke. The story of Hermitage in Roanoke is made up of the many lives who have called the community home for over 50 years. One family, Charles and Ethel Schepmos, called Hermitage in Roanoke home during the 70’s and 80s. They loved the community, their neighbors and the team that served them through all their levels of living. The Schepmos family gave the gift of a trust that continues to support the mission of their beloved community to this day.
