Blue Ridge Senior Living of Richmond is an assisted living and memory care community located in Richmond, Virginia. The facility is designed to support older adults who require significant assistance with daily living activities as well as those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Assisted living residents receive help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, with full assistance available in each of these areas. Personalized care plans are in place to address each resident’s needs, including medication management and administration. For those with advanced needs, the community offers both home health aide services and ambulatory care, as well as incontinence care. Blue Ridge Senior Living also accommodates individuals with psychiatric conditions in its memory care unit, which is a secured community designed to support safety and supervision.
Medical and wellness support at Blue Ridge Senior Living includes regularly scheduled visits from physicians, who accept both insurance and private pay. Additionally, visiting therapy services—such as occupational, physical, and speech therapies—are available based on resident needs, with costs covered via insurance or private pay. The wellness center and on-site nursing station further support residents’ ongoing medical requirements. An emphasis on health maintenance is reflected in the availability of diabetes care, monitoring and medication support, hospice services for end-of-life care, and comprehensive medication management. Residents can access a variety of fitness programs, including yoga and chair yoga, and participate in organized club and community activities. For grooming and self-care, the facility offers a barber and beauty salon. Outdoor walking paths provide safe, enclosed spaces for physical activity and fresh air.
Residents benefit from both complimentary and paid transportation services for medical appointments and non-medical outings, allowing individuals to attend offsite doctor visits or participate in community activities.

Reviews from residents, families, and staff indicate a mix of positive and negative experiences. Many describe staff as attentive and caring and note that the cleanliness and ongoing renovations are appreciated. Positive comments also highlight reasonable costs, a smooth transition experience, responsive administrative staff, and active engagement opportunities. However, persistent concerns have been documented about cleanliness (including reports of odors, pests, and housekeeping lapses), inconsistent staffing—particularly during overnight hours—slow response times to residents’ calls for assistance, and issues around medication management. Additional critical feedback involves billing inconsistencies, security or supervision within memory care, and communication challenges regarding health and care issues. While some negative experiences reference poor hygiene, neglect, and lack of transparency, others reinforce positive daily interactions and value the community’s services. There have been no recent major changes or developments to the facility as of 2024.

The cost of assisted living in this area is essentially the same as the cost throughout the state. If the resident needs other services, additional services may increase the monthly cost.
