Since 1964, Hermitage Roanoke has been a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Health Care for seniors 62 years of age and over. A part of Pinnacle Living, a not-for-profit corporation, Hermitage Roanoke is committed to providing vibrant independent lifestyles as well as comfort and security throughout the continuum of care.
LEARN MORE ABOUT PINNACLE LIVINGPinnacle Living forms deep relationships with our residents and we make a commitment to provide assistance to those who, through no fault of their own, may become unable to meet the financial responsibilities of their residence or care. As with many relationships, this one is based on mutual responsibility – working as partners so we can better assure residents’ plans to call our communities home is right for everyone.
Each Pinnacle Living community is unique and special, reflecting the character of its own location and history, but all are linked by the shared mission, values and commitment to gracious retirement living and quality services that are the hallmark of our organization.
The Pinnacle Living Samaritan Program provides peace of mind to residents who have outlived their financial resources. We are committed to an established policy to provide assistance to those who, through no fault of their own, become unable to meet the full cost of our services. This has been an integral part of who we are since our founding in 1948.

DONATE TODAYHermitage in Roanoke started with a tight knit group of local people driven to make their corner of the world a better place. These original trustees acquired Casselwold, a fine Georgian Mansion and 10 wooded acres near the country club in Roanoke, in 1964. That passionate group merged the Roanoke community with the burgeoning Pinnacle Living family of communities in 1965. From that strong beginning to today the community has repeatedly renovated and expanded to build a team, a reputation and a great sense of community in this special part of Roanoke. The story of Hermitage in Roanoke is made up of the many lives who have called the community home for over 50 years. One family, Charles and Ethel Schepmos, called Hermitage in Roanoke home during the 70’s and 80s. They loved the community, their neighbors and the team that served them through all their levels of living. The Schepmos family gave the gift of a trust that continues to support the mission of their beloved community to this day.

My sister and I would like to express our thanks to you and to the staff of The Hermitage in Roanoke for helping us celebrate the 100th Birthday of our aunt, Roberta Copenhaver. As you know, we live in Maryland, 300 hundred miles from Roanoke. This caused us considerable concern as to how we were going to arrange her party.

The location here is great. It’s close to everything and the transportation service is excellent. Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment or shopping, there is always transportation scheduled. We looked at other communities, some with tiny apartments that would not serve our purposes

Mom was wise enough to decide on her own initiative to move into Hermitage Roanoke. Too often, individuals wait too late to make such a move. She got to know all of the other residents as well as all of the leaders and staff members. These people became more than friends; they became part
