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 Moore

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hermitage Roanoke an accredited retirement community?: Hermitage Roanoke is accredited by CARF-CCAC ( Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities-Continuing Care Accreditation Commission). CARF-CCAC accreditation is widely regarded as a “seal of approval” for retirement communities. A service provider begins the accreditation process with an internal examination of its programs and business practices. Then the provider requests an on-site survey that will be conducted by a team of expert practitioners selected by CARF. During the survey, the provider must demonstrate that it conforms to a series of rigorous and internationally recognized CARF standards. Based on the results of the survey, CARF prepares a written report of the provider’s strengths and areas for improvement. If a provider has sufficiently demonstrated it conforms to the standards, it earns CARF accreditation.
If I carry Medicare and a Medicare supplement policy, what benefits would this offer me at Hermitage Roanoke?: Hermitage Roanoke requires all residents carry Medicare and a Medicare Supplement policy or equivalent. As a federal medical health insurance program, Medicare will help defray costs associated with physicians and hospital stays; however, Hermitage in Roanoke is not a certified Medicare health facility, so your Medicare benefits do not cover the monthly cost for Health Services.
Does Hermitage Roanoke take auxiliary grants?: No. Hermitage Roanoke is a private pay community, meaning residents must have financial resources to live here. As part of the application process, the future resident submits a confidential financial application for approval.
How does my Long Term Care Insurance policy work with your community?: Most Long Term Care Insurance policies pay a daily reimbursement amount for Assisted Living or Nursing Care up to a daily or monthly maximum. We are happy to review the terms of your policy with you to see what the requirements are to qualify for the benefit. We will assist you in filing any necessary paperwork/billing information that your provider requires.
Does Hermitage Roanoke accept Medicaid?: No. Medicaid is a State and Federal program that may pay for nursing home costs for individuals with very limited income and assets. Hermitage Roanoke is not a Medicaid approved community.
