What are the senior care options like in Hopewell?
Hopewell has only a couple of licensed assisted living homes but also two certified nursing homes and its own acute-care hospital, HCA TriCities Hospital on West Randolph Road, which makes short-term rehab and skilled nursing easier to arrange locally than assisted living.
Families who need assisted living rather than nursing care usually widen the search to Petersburg and Colonial Heights, a fifteen- to twenty-minute drive. Compare inspection histories carefully: in a small market, one facility's record can make a big difference to the choice.
How do Hopewell residents apply for Medicaid or the Auxiliary Grant?
Applications go through the Hopewell Department of Social Services (or online through CommonHelp), which also arranges the Long-Term Services and Supports screening that Medicaid nursing home care and the CCC Plus Waiver both require.
If the person is in the hospital, the screening can be done by the hospital's discharge planner instead, which often saves days. Ask about it as soon as a facility placement looks likely.
