Richfield plans to follow the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) guidance for phasing. The assisted living buildings, The Oaks and Joseph C. Thomas Center, are not offering outdoor visitation or window visits. We are offering video and telephone chats. Please contact your building to schedule a visit with your loved one.

When Virginia entered Phase III on July 1, 2020, we reopened some services and visitation for our independent living buildings – Knollwood Apartments, Ridgecrest Apartments, Lake Estates Cottages and The Villas. The independent living protocols for reopening can be found here.

The construction projects on the Salem and Roanoke Campuses remain COVID-19 free. Ryan Companies has completed three buildings in Phase I of our construction project on the Salem Campus. These projects include The Health Center – Salem Campus, comprising of four households of 19 residents each, 48 Lake Retreat apartments, and the new Town Center. These buildings are now open with limited visitors as we follow COVID-19 protocol.

MB Contractors is expecting to complete the construction project at our second location in Roanoke City spring 2021. This campus will house The Health Center – Roanoke Campus, with four households of 19 residents each and a Short Term Rehab.

This historical time has been difficult, yet we endeavor to keep residents safe and offer support to their families. We look for creative and healthy alternatives for the residents and team members to connect with families, engage in activities within the Richfield campus, and thrive during the changes. Your cooperation and the resiliency of the residents has been remarkable. We hope to continue to protect this community and provide the services you have come to expect from Richfield Living.

We are committed to the  residents’ and team members’ safety and well-being following recommendations from the Governor’s Office, the County Health Commissioner, the Virginia Department of Health, the National Guard and the Center for Disease Control. We recognize and appreciate how important these partnerships have been in keeping our residents healthy.
