10 Best Nursing Homes in Richmond, VA

Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

With affordability, a rich cultural scene, and Southern charm to boot, living in Richmond is a pleasant and engaging experience for seniors. It’s no wonder why more than 30,000 retirees have chosen to call the River City home. Fortunately, all the traits that make Richmond a highly accommodating city for seniors mean it also has a variety of living options for this population — including nursing homes.

Nursing homes are sometimes referred to as skilled nursing facilities and provide both nursing and long-term care options for residents. However, if you’re searching for a Richmond nursing home near you, you might actually be looking for services associated with a senior living community specializing in memory care or assisted living. While memory care facilities provide 24/7 specialized care and long-term housing for seniors with memory loss, assisted living facilities provide support for seniors who are somewhat active, but need help with activities of daily living.

If you’re looking for this kind of care, A Place for Mom partners with 28 assisted living and memory care facilities within 10 miles of downtown Richmond. This guide will detail what you and your loved ones can expect from these types of communities, how to pay for them, and what regulations are in place. We’ll also talk about everything Richmond has to offer.

The facility was nice and well taken care of, which was very important to us. It smelled very clean - some other facilities smelled like urine.

Costs of nursing homes in the Richmond area

A private room in a Richmond-based skilled nursing home (a facility that provides 24-hour short- and long-term care to patients) costs an average of $9,749 [02] including associated fees. This is slightly higher than the national average.

However, when stacked against this national average, Richmond can still provide an affordable and comprehensive senior living experience. According to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data, memory care or assisted living fees run an average of $5,073 monthly within our network of partners.[01] This cost includes all service fees and add-ons, but individual costs vary depending on floor plan and amenities. Broken out separately, assisted living in Richmond costs $4,954, and memory care costs $5,165.[01]

With that payment, residents receive holistic care (diabetes, incontinence, memory, and rehabilitative care, to name a few examples) and medication management. Seniors receive amenities such as wheelchair accessible rooms, chef-prepared meals, and access to common areas where they can socialize.

VA benefits for nursing homes in Richmond

Veterans seeking care in assisted living or memory care within the A Place for Mom network should apply for the VA’s Aid and Attendance program, which can pay for assisted living or memory care stays by increasing funding to a veteran’s pension. The application and acceptance process is often prolonged. To ease the process, try connecting with a local veteran services officer and veteran service organizations before applying. These VA-recognized experts help veterans with the application and appeals process.

Richmond Medicaid for nursing homes

Virginians can access Medicaid through Cardinal Care. Medicaid recipients in Virginia are a part of the state’s Managed Care Organization (MCO), which covers nursing facility services. Seniors seeking nursing home coverage can do so by demonstrating that their physical or mental condition requires a nursing-home level of care. They must also possess no more than $2,000 in assets such as money and property.

You can sign up for Medicaid by:

  • Applying here
  • Calling the Cover Virginia call center at 833-522-5582 (telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) number: 888-221-1590) to apply on the phone
  • Mailing or dropping off a paper application to the City of Richmond Social Services department

Memory care and assisted living residents can apply for Medicaid through the use of a home and community-based services waiver. Furthermore, patients can also opt into Consumer-Directed Care services, which allow them to employ someone to handle their care needs.

Medicaid is a valuable resource, but it can be tough to wrap your head around. These resources can help you make sense of it all.

Medicare nursing home coverage in Richmond

Medicare is federal health insurance for people 65 years and older. Because the care seniors receive in nursing homes is considered “custodial,” Medicare doesn’t cover it if it’s the only care someone requires. While Medicare does not cover residential costs for assisted living or memory care stays, it will cover medically needed healthcare services such as physical or occupational therapy or injectable osteoporosis drugs.

What about skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)? Medicare Part A is the equivalent of hospital insurance, and it will cover SNF care if it’s deemed medically necessary on a short-term basis. To qualify, a patient must meet the following requirements:

  • They have Medicare Part A and days left in their benefit period.
  • They’ve had a qualified inpatient stay at a hospital.
  • Their doctor has mentioned that they require skilled care each day that is either from or supervised by skilled nursing or therapy providers.
  • They receive skilled services in an SNF certified by Medicare.
  • They require skilled services for a medical condition that’s either:
    • A hospital-related condition that was treated during their inpatient stay, even if it wasn’t the reason for hospital admission, or
    • A condition that began while they were in the SNF for a hospital-related condition

Medicare applicants in Richmond can enroll during the following periods:

  • Three months before their next birthday.
  • The month of their birthday.
  • Three months after their last birthday.

Need more clarity on if your loved one qualifies for Medicare and how to get them signed up? Consider looking into these Richmond organizations.

Understand Virginia’s nursing home laws and regulations

Virginia-based nursing homes are regularly inspected by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), usually every 12-15 months depending on the facility and its past compliance record. Nursing homes must meet certain staffing, patient care, and facility standards to earn or maintain their licenses. Families are also encouraged to be observant of facilities to ensure the quality of care remains high. Past inspection results can be obtained from this link on the VDH website.

Nursing homes are also under the watch of the federal government, specifically the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This entity regularly surveys nursing homes to monitor how well they’re adhering to federal regulations.

Nursing homes are inspected on the basis of:

  • Patient rights
  • Quality of care
  • Environmental safety
  • Staffing
  • Resident health and well-being

Virginia nursing homes are not subject to a federal- or state-mandated patient-to-staff ratio. Instead, they’re given the leniency to make those decisions on their own. However, federal laws state nursing homes have at least one nurse on duty at all times and have sufficient numbers of certified nursing assistants to help manage daily intake and patient needs.

Assisted living facilities in Virginia are subject to regulation by the state’s Department of Social Services (DSS). Facilities are inspected annually or as-needed, and receive one-, two-, or three-year licenses.

The Virginia DSS also regulates memory care providers. Facilities are graded on their ability to provide secure indoor and outdoor common areas, and administrators and staff are subject to regular training and education if they’re working with patients with cognitive issues. Memory care and assisted living certifications can be found on the Virginia Department of Social Services website.

What to expect from nursing homes in Richmond

Choosing a nursing home or senior care facility for a loved one can be tough. Fortunately, residents in Richmond-based facilities receive top-tier care and amenities that will give you peace of mind.

Although we don’t  partner with nursing homes, we’ll detail amenities from our partner assisted living and memory care facilities. That way, you’ll get a clear look at what your loved one can look forward to during their stay.

Comprehensive health care services

Some of our partner facilities have skilled nursing units. Skilled nursing patients receive hands-on round-the-clock care for their short- and long-term health needs. For those requiring this type of care from an assisted living or memory care facility, skilled nursing wings are there so patients can get their needs tended to in a more focused location. Residents can receive memory, incontinence, and diabetic care along with regular management of their medications.

Conscientious meals and dining services

Professional chefs prepare special dining programs and can make meals tailored to each resident’s needs, including no-sugar-added or low-sodium dietary restrictions. These meals are often enjoyed by residents in a restaurant-style setting, but they’re also free to frequent a bar or café/bistro of their choosing. At the same time, facilities may provide meals for loved ones to ensure a comfortable visit.

Room-specific perks

Depending on the facility, patient rooms may have access to a full kitchen or kitchenette, air conditioning, high-speed internet/Wi-Fi, cable television, a garden view, regular laundry service/housekeeping, and handicap accessibility. Patients can also house pets up to 30 pounds in their rooms.

Common and recreational areas

If residents want to browse on the computer, read a book, or get their beauty needs tended to, there are common areas with barbers, beauticians, a library, and a media center. Recreational areas with arts and crafts, games, musical instruments, a theater room, and a fitness center are also available.

Outside, facilities have raised garden beds and enclosed courtyards designed to accommodate and secure patients with memory loss.

Social gatherings and activities

Is your loved one a social butterfly? Not to worry! Facilities host devotional services, cooking classes, live performances, yoga, happy hours, guest speakers, and other activities to let residents scratch that social itch.
