Almost Home Program at Shalom Gardens in Richmond

Your Bridge from Skilled Care to a Comfortable Home

That time after a stay in a skilled nursing or rehabilitation center can feel uncertain. You know your loved one is stronger, but maybe not quite ready to handle everything on their own just yet. That’s why we created the Almost Home program—a supportive bridge designed to make the transition from clinical care to daily life as smooth and worry-free as possible.

The Almost Home program offers a wonderful solution right here at Shalom Gardens, allowing your loved one to move into our welcoming assisted living community. It’s a chance to continue receiving care and support without the pressure of immediately returning home.

A Supportive Step for Peace of Mind

Think of Almost Home as a chance for your loved one to settle into a comfortable, supportive home while they continue to regain their independence. We handle the cooking, medication management, and daily assistance, so they can focus on feeling their best.

It’s the perfect way to ensure they have the clinical oversight and personal support they still need, all within a vibrant community where they can enjoy delicious meals, new friendships, and engaging activities.
