This place is wonderful. I got more done here in two weeks than I did in a month at the hospital. They really got me go in again. It was a great help having the staff and doctors and therapy by our side throughout my recovery. The staff was very patient and accommodating. From day one everyone put their all into making sure everything was perfect. And I really felt like they were there for my entire family while we worked through my recent changes in health and independence.

I was in need of long term nursing care for my mom in March of 2017. I happened to find an article about Our Lady of Hope and it was a done deal. My initial impression of the facility and staff has only grown since my mom became a resident. The staff is outstanding, the care is better than any other facility we were involved with and there were 3. I fully believe my mom is alive today because of the care she has received at OLOH. I would HIGHLY recommend OLOH to anyone that wants to insure their loved one is totally cared for and wants peace of mind in the process.

As a veteran living in the Northern Virginia area, and much research/visits for other facilities, this facility was always our #1 choice. As his Agent Orange related disease progressed, he required 24/7 care. We waited 2 years on the waitlist. I cannot express how clean the facility is. And the staff, from the holiday decorations, the food, the front reception desk, the nurses, social workers and the doctors are all so responsive, professional, and compassionate to both residents and families. All their services are first rate.
This is a very tightly run ship with angels working there.
I am eternally thankful for the affectionate, compassionate care he receives.

My mother’s mental health was quickly declining. Her dementia was getting worse. My sister could no longer care for her and we found ManorCare.

This was several weeks of lgiteral hell. I was very sick. I had lost my eyesight and the use of my legs from being in a medically induced coma because I had contracted a respiratory infection.
The staff were cruel, at best.
I could not get a shower because I could not afford to pay the nurses or orderlies to get help. There were days when they would not give me mum medications because they were out of? Because I could not see I could not empty my bedside potty and they would not because I could not pay. For fun they would move it so I could not find it and laugh. One night I fell and the nurse got angry and slammed me down on the floor ripped off my underwear and put a diaper on me, then said if I made any more problems she would step me to the bed! When I complained to the head nurse the next day they told her ai had jumped out of the bed! I could not use my legs!! I was there to learn to cope without my eyesight and physical therapy onl my legs. I had2 sessions!? Then I contracted MERS in my respiratory system and was finally transferred back to VCU Medical center where I was put in another medically induced coma. Four months later I was finally allowed to go home. 7 years later I am still dealing with the aftermath of this MERS infection I contracted in this hell hole. This company should be shut down and it’s employees tried for gross incompetence, cruelty and probably worse.

My friend recently spent four weeks in this facility, and with the exception of only a few staff members who tried hard to serve her well, she was treated very badly. When she arrived from the hospital, it took them an unreasonable time to start paying attention to her. She came with directions for pain medication which she did not receive until many hours after it was due. She often had difficulty calling a nurse for help, and when she complained, they were rude and dismissive.
The discharge process was a nightmare. They abruptly sent her home alone to fend for herself, although her doctor said she wasn’t capable. Two staff members had told her she would be given the remainder of the prescribed medicine to take home, but when the time came she was rudely told that sending her home with medicine was against their policy. She waited for hours in the lobby for wheelchair transport, only to be told by the driver who arrived that he couldn’t accommodate her wheelchair. She was then told that she would have to find her own transport service, as she had already been discharged.
Do not submit your loved ones to this unacceptable treatment facility!

I do not recommend Westport to anyone! After less than 48 hours at Westport, my husband was transferred today to another rehab facility. He was at Westport for physical therapy and rehab following surgery for a hip fracture. During the 40 or so hours he was there, he and /or I observed or experienced a patient wandering outside the facility from the waist down except for a diaper, a lack of courtesy to patients and family, mistakes regarding medication and appointments outside the facility. After being contacted by the practice that did his surgery, Westport attempted to convince him to stay. He repeatedly stated that he wished to leave, and he left as soon as his transfer paperwork was complete. I do not recommend this facility to anyone.

I had been at Sheltering Arms. They are actually a rehab facility. They’re an inpatient facility for physical rehab, for PT and OT. You can give them across the board, in every single respect, every way possibly imaginable, top ratings. I went from not being able to move my legs at all to walking with a walker in less than two weeks. The first day I came there, I came from surgery, I was dirty, I was scared, I was hurting and this woman came up and she said, ‘Is it okay if I give you a hug?’ and she said, ‘You’re okay now, you’re here. You’re going to be okay.’ I told her I smelled so bad and I felt so horrible. She got me in and she scrubbed me from head to toe and the whole time, this really nice sweet soft voice was just right there. She got me changed into clean clothes and got me in a clean bed. She brought me a meal and she brought me ice cream. I will never forget that. I had 13 major back surgeries and I had never at anyone, anywhere showed me the kind of love, care and kindness that I got from Sheltering Arms. The food was excellent. I want to say to Sheltering Arms, "Thank you for your caring!!"

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Richmond, VA
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
