The Hermitage of Northern Virginia is a United Methodist-sponsored retirement home. It is important to spend time with the elderly in our community. Opportunities are available for all ages to sing, sit and visit or play bingo with residents at The Hermitage. It is a great family activity!

Visiting with the Homebound
 
We know the art of conversation is NOT lost despite the proliferation of personal computers and Ipods.
 
At any given time we have a few members who are homebound and miss casual conversation with friends. Please consider helping in this regard. Contact Faye Doucet, our Homebound Coordinator, if you are able to occasionally visit those who are home, by no choice of their own.

"Job Jar" Handyperson Program
 
The men run a "job jar" as time and resources permit. If you or any member of the Franconia family needs help with tasks around the home - OR - if you can help perform "handyperson" type tasks, please contact Edward Sheldahl or place a note in the Men's mailbox outside of the small kitchen.
