Hermitage Deep Run is a senior living community under development in the Short Pump area of Richmond, Virginia. As part of the established Hermitage organization, this new community is designed to offer a range of care options for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, and possibly higher levels of care as the project expands. Hermitage Deep Run is part of a broader continuing care retirement community model, aimed at serving the evolving needs of residents as they age.
Assisted living at Hermitage Deep Run will include medical and supportive services tailored to individual needs. The community plans to provide incontinence care, diabetes management, and ambulatory care, supported by on-site staff trained in these areas. Residents will benefit from a secured community design intended to promote safety, particularly for those living with cognitive impairments. Services will include medication management, with professionals overseeing prescriptions and dispensing. Arrangements for visiting hospice care and therapy services will be available, with billing coordinated through insurance or private pay, and residents will have access to visiting physicians, podiatry visits, and other therapeutic consultations. For residents needing routine tasks such as bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting, full assistance will be offered by caregivers.
Hermitage Deep Run plans a variety of amenities to support resident well-being. These include a barber shop and beauty salon, communal courtyards, and dedicated therapy rooms for rehabilitation or wellness activities. The facility will be equipped to accommodate residents with psychiatric issues and will offer transportation to medical appointments or community outings. The complimentary transportation service is available to help residents attend appointments or participate in planned recreational activities.
Feedback from residents and families at other Hermitage and Spring Arbor communities highlights several strengths expected to be mirrored at Hermitage Deep Run. Reviews commonly mention a positive, attentive staff, a clean and modern facility, and robust activities such as musical events, art, group outings, and social gatherings. Dining services provide a restaurant-style experience, noted for both food quality and atmosphere. Additional observations suggest rooms in memory care areas can be smaller, with periodic updates to facilities underway. While most feedback about the care quality and staff relationships is positive, some reviewers note concerns about staff responsiveness and management communication. Nevertheless, Hermitage communities are generally appreciated for their engaging culture and dedication to supporting the health and well-being of residents in a welcoming environment. Hermitage Deep Run is anticipated to bring similar standards and services to the Richmond area as its construction progresses.
