Care
Quality care is always a pivotal factor when choosing a senior living community. At Our Lady of Hope, our families have peace of mind knowing we treat every resident with respect and dignity. Services go beyond the physical to ensure that each resident’s emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs are satisfied to support their overall well-being. (Visit our Life Enrichment page to learn more about the purpose-driven support we provide beyond medical care.)
Compassionate professionals are dedicated to understanding each resident’s unique needs, interests, and passions, and licensed nurses are on-site and available 24 hours a day.
Medical Oversight

She has been practicing as a palliative medicine physician in Richmond for over 11 years providing total care for the geriatric population. She is passionate about providing care for the whole person addressing all of their medical, psychosocial and mental health needs. Dr. Raghavan is the attending physician in Our Lady of Hope’s Assisted Living community and the Christopher Center (Memory Care).
Pastoral Care
As a way of supporting the spiritual needs of residents, we offer a unique resource in our on-site Pastoral Counselor, Bob Odom. Bob provides non-denominational worship services and spiritual care for our residents, as well as family members and employees. In addition to leading group worship services, Bible studies, and prayer groups, he is also available to residents for private, one-on-one counseling sessions. Mass, communion, and other Catholic worship opportunities are offered regularly in our serene, on-site Chapel.
Music Therapy
Our Lady of Hope’s Music Therapy Program is designed for our entire community!
Music Therapy is a person-centered practice that uses music to achieve non-musical goals within a therapeutic relationship. Using the unique preferences, needs, and abilities of each resident, it provides sensory stimulation to evoke positive responses in seniors to boost mood, social interaction, and cognitive function.
Our board-certified Music Therapist works with residents in all care levels at our community through our Life Enrichment program with the goal of improving each resident’s overall quality of life.
