Located on a 10-acre campus, Hermitage Roanoke is more than your average Life Plan Community.

Experience what a day in the life at Hermitage Roanoke looks like to see if it aligns with your retirement expectations. 

Choose From a Variety of Dining Opportunities

Each meal at Hermitage Roanoke presents an opportunity to try something new or enjoy an old favorite. Our chef prepares daily menus with cooked-to-order options appealing to a variety of palates, offering nothing less than a restaurant-quality dining experience. 

Enjoy a classic home-style Southern entree reminiscent of Sunday family dinners, or ask to see the chef's Choice of the Day menu for exposure to new flavors. 

If you have a dietary restriction requiring low-salt, low-sugar, low-fat or gluten-free selections, let our team members know. Our chef works with a registered dietitian to accommodate these restrictions with healthy meal options without sacrificing taste and flavor. 

After choosing a meal, you decide where to eat it. Soak in picturesque mountain views from the patio (weather permitting), or relax with friends in our dining room. No matter which seating option you choose, you can relish in the laid-back, community atmosphere we work hard to preserve.

If you're looking for a change of scenery, gather a group of friends to drive the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway, check out a local vineyard or go hiking.

Explore Community Amenities

Some people thrive with a busy calendar. Others enjoy keeping their schedule open and seeing what the day brings. Taking a stroll through Hermitage Roanoke can uncover an array of communal amenities at your fingertips. 

Start your day in the exercise room for a revitalizing yoga or stretch and balance class to get the blood flowing, then head to the community library, a quiet sanctuary for reading. You can also use a computer to browse the internet or connect with peers back home through social media. 

For nature enthusiasts, our community features a paved walking path and greenhouse. Covered patios and outdoor gazebos present ideal spaces to enjoy social gatherings with friends or host visiting family members for a picnic. Additionally, we offer a chapel with an on-site chaplain. 

Some days are better spent in the comfort of your own space. Quaint, comfortable apartments are well-appointed and feature pleasant views around the community.
