Senior living at Hermitage Roanoke is defined by personal choice, dignity, and a vibrant lifestyle. Surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Roanoke Valley and grounded in the welcoming spirit of Southwest Virginia, our community offers something truly special. Yet, despite the truth of that experience, many individuals and families still carry outdated beliefs about what senior living means.
It is time to retire those myths and replace them with the reality of living at Hermitage Roanoke.
Myth: You Lose Your Independence
The truth is quite the opposite. Independence is not only preserved at Hermitage Roanoke, it is celebrated. Residents make their own decisions about how to spend their days, from enjoying morning walks along our tree-lined paths to choosing a table in the dining venue that feels just right.
Whether you are gardening, participating in a lifelong learning opportunity, or simply enjoying the view from a sunroom, daily life is rooted in freedom and personal choice. Support is available when needed, but each resident determines what that support looks like.
Myth: You Only Move When Support Is Urgent
Many individuals move to Hermitage Roanoke not because they must, but because they wish to plan ahead. The decision is often shaped by thoughtful goals, like eliminating the stress of home maintenance, staying near loved ones, or finding a safe and enriching environment where the future feels secure.
Choosing Hermitage Roanoke is a proactive step toward peace of mind. Residents arrive ready to continue their lives with purpose, supported by a team that honors each person’s journey.
Myth: Senior Living Means Giving Up Joy
Senior living at Hermitage Roanoke opens the door to more joy, not less. This is a community designed for engagement. Residents fill their days with what matters to them, like quiet time with a favorite book, shared meals with friends, or simply watching birds gather in the courtyard.
Opportunities for enrichment are shaped by individual interests. Whether through creativity, movement, conversation, or reflection, joy is woven into the everyday rhythm of life here.

Each neighborhood is designed to feel like home. A place where comfort, familiarity, and warmth surround you. Our location, just a few minutes from downtown Roanoke and the Blue Ridge Parkway, offers both serenity and accessibility.
