The Park has been a wonderful place for my sister to live! She loves it here and hopes to return when she recovers and will allow it. The staff is great. Very attentive. They're very caring. My sister's apartment is good sized. She has everything she needs. She really likes the dining room. The food is great.

I am/was a resident of this facilityReview of The Park - Oak Grove

The Park Oak Grove has everything I need. I have my dog with me and everyone is so friendly and the staff is very kind. They have therapy and they have the nurses. Everybody is just friendly and so great to me. My room is great and I have no complaints about my room. I just wish I had hardwood floors in it, but that's OK. I can't say a whole lot about the food because they don't have the places and stuff, and I understand that. They have activities and everybody here seems to love them. I don't participate because I'm legally blind and I'm off-balanced. It's great here. I wouldn't move anywhere else. As long as I can afford it, I'm going to stay here.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Springtree Healthcare & Rehab Center

My mom was at Springtree Healthcare. The first impression was not good because they did not even know I was coming. Apparently, the admission lady was not there. The night people had no idea what to expect from my mom. There was some confusion when we first got there, which really upset me after we had driven five hours to get there. However, it got cleared up quickly because I called the admission lady. There were several staff members that were really good when I talked to them on the phone, but I didn't get to see them in person. The activity lady was great. I got to talk to their speech therapist and physical therapy assistant, and both of them were really good. The physical therapy assistant did all of the physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. My mom had a very short attention span, so she did not participate in other activities. She was also in three different rooms and they were all nice and very clean. The place appeared to be very clean from the outside. Also they were easy to get in touch with.

The Harmony Collection at Roanoke is very nice and very clean. The people are very helpful and cooperative. We're very happy with the location and the selection. The food is really good and I've dined with my mother a few times. The staff is wonderful, too. She likes the daily exercise, and she enjoys the activities like bingo and artwork.

The Harmony Collection at Roanoke is very nice. But they won't keep my dad because they don't have the medical capability to deal with him. The place itself looks very elegant and pretty. I'm not happy with the staff's services they've provided to dad, they're new and I don't think they're able to deal with anyone that's got complicated issues of any kind. Their food is fine. There are lots of activities for the residents who would participate, I saw them playing bingo, exercise classes, and music.

I visited this facilityReview of The Park - Oak Grove

The Park Oak Grove is an old community but it's renovated, it's nice and clean. Size-wise, they're a larger place than others. The person who gave me the tour, Fran, was nice. She was a pleasant woman. There was nobody there doing any activities during my visit. Their dining area is also nice and tidy although I didn't get the opportunity to try anything.

We chose The Park - Oak Grove for my brother based largely on the online reviews we saw, plus we went and toured it, and I was impressed with the staff and the facility itself. It's been great for him. He loves the food. He's happy and satisfied, and I'm extremely happy with it. His apartment is very nice, and they keep it very clean. It's a great place. They have a lot of activities. He's getting more for his money there than he would at other places.

My mother will be moving into The Park - Oak Grove. I liked the facility, the interaction among the staff and the residents, the residents looked happy, and I liked the location. They have pretty much the same activities that I've seen at all the assisted living facilities that I've been to. They take you places and they have bingo and exercise classes.

I am/was a resident of this facilityReview of Friendship Health and Rehab Center North

We signed a year-long lease at Friendship Living and we couldn't be happier. It is a very nice community. The place is loaded with flowers. It is a 42-acre campus. There is a full restaurant, a full bar, pool tables, a library, an indoor pool, and an outdoor pool. They have a bus that takes you anywhere in town, and they have different activities like bingo, pool tournaments, and card games. There is parking, there's a newspaper, and there's a picnic pavillion. They also offer blood pressure screenings, all kind of medical assistance, and they even have dialysis on campus. The apartments are large. The one we're in is a beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment that has a large living room, a full kitchen, a sunporch, and an outdoor terrace porch. They provide full climate control, and cable TV is free. There is laundry in every apartment, and garbage is picked up three times a week. The maintenance is fantastic too. We discovered a water leak in the water line, and they were here within seconds to fix the leaks.

Assisted Living Costs in Roanoke

The average monthly cost of assisted living in Roanoke is $313 less than the state median, reflecting a potential savings of around $3,700 per year on average for seniors who decide to settle in the Star City. Roanoke’s average monthly cost for assisted living services is less than the nearby cities of Blacksburg, Staunton and Charlottesville but slightly more expensive than costs in nearby Lynchburg. However, Roanoke is served by both a regional airport and an Interstate, which may make it easier for seniors in assisted living communities to receive visitors from out of town. Lynchburg, on the other hand, has a small airport but no interstate access.

Care Cost Comparison

The cost of long-term care for any individual — in any location — depends heavily on the type of care required. Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey for 2018 notes that the median cost of assisted living care in Roanoke is only $4,138, but that the average monthly cost of nursing home care in a semiprivate room is almost double that at $8,030. Choose nursing home care in a private room, and the average cost is $9,003, which is more than double the cost of assisted living with a private apartment or room. In-home care costs average around $3,384, which seems to reflect a savings of around $754 per month for seniors. Remember, though, that the costs of assisted living typically include accommodations and meals; the costs of in-home care do not reflect rent, mortgages, meals or home upkeep. In the end, it may not be as big of a savings as seniors might think. Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Roanoke

Medicaid in Virginia

Medicaid in Virginia covers a wide range of medical and related services for families and individuals who meet eligibility requirements. Adults age 19 to 64 may qualify for this coverage if they aren’t eligible for Medicare and meet income requirements, which are 138 percent of the federal poverty level for a single adult. That equates to $16,750 per year in income or around $1,395 per month.

Individuals who are age 65 or older likely qualify for Medicare as a primary insurance. However, if they meet eligibility requirements, they may continue to qualify for Medicaid as a secondary insurance to help cover medical expenses not paid for under their Medicare policy.

Adults can apply for Medicaid in Virginia by:

Calling (855) 242-8282 to speak to a Cover Virginia call representative or the Virginia Department of Social Services Enterprise call center at (855) 635-4370
Applying online via Common Help or the healthcare marketplace
Mailing an application (though this process will take longer)

Long-term care is provided for some adults via Medicaid benefits, especially for services such as home health, hospice, long stays in hospitals and care in specialized nursing facilities. For help paying with assisted living care, seniors can turn to Virginia Medicaid waiver programs.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Program for All-Inclusive Services for the Elderly (PACE)

PACE provides funding and assistance for eligible adults who are over the age of 54 and have disabilities or health care needs that may require community-based supports. One purpose of PACE is to assist individuals who may be close to or actually require nursing-home level care to remain at home or in an assisted living community. PACE benefits can cover services such as transportation, assistance with basic acts of daily living, meals and some care.

Money Follows the Person

Virginia’s Money Follows the Person (MFP) program may be of importance to seniors looking to transition into or from various types of care or living situations. This program provides some flexible funding that can be used to cover qualified care wherever the senior resides. While this program doesn’t necessarily cover assisted living directly, it may provide compensation for specific services performed within the assisted living facility environment.

Home and Community Based Waivers

In some circumstances, seniors may qualify for home and community based waivers that help cover the costs of services at home or in communities, including assisted living facilities. Virginia Medicaid also offers consumer-directed care, which provides added flexibility for seniors looking to stay in their own homes or in independent living environments offered by assisted living.

Seniors who are interested in these waivers or programs can speak to a Medicaid representative or social worker to apply for services.
