See What Others are Saying About Hermitage Roanoke
“Mom was wise enough to decide on her own initiative to move into Hermitage Roanoke. Too often, individuals wait too late to make such a move. She got to know all of the other residents as well as all of the leaders and staff members. These people became more than friends; they became part of her extended family. In short, I saw first-hand what wonderful personnel work at Hermitage in Roanoke. I can say in all honesty that they are tremendously dedicated to their work and they really care about each of the residents.”
Easley L. Moore – Jr Son of Resident Mattie MooreFun Facts
How did Roanoke get its earlier name, “Big Lick”?
