About The Manor House

In the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Branchlands Manor House offers residents independent living in a welcoming town. Charlottesville, Virginia, is well known as the home of the prestigious University of Virginia, and a focus on excellence is in the air. Charlottesville applies its hard-working mentality to the public parks, which are clean and green. There are four beautiful parks all within a 10-minute drive from the facilities. Outdoor activities abound as the town is just a 30-minute drive to Shenandoah National Park, where you can watch the sun filter through the forested mountains from an overlook, or hike to one of the many waterfalls. The city's thriving arts scene means residents can attend performances, galleries, or craft fairs year-round.   Branchlands Manor House offers residents a unique opportunity to live independently in a hassle-free environment. Set within a colonial mansion on a landscaped campus, the facility is full of well-appointed common areas, big windows, and furnished apartments. Walk along the azalea blooms in the garden on one of the lovely walking trails that run around the campus, or sit in the stately library to catch up on a good book. And bring your furry friend with you, as this is a pet-friendly community.   Residents enjoy independent living at Branchlands Manor House. This is a place where all services are provided to help you enjoy your independence as much as possible, whether that means taking advantage of the laundry service and housekeeping or enjoying the included daily meals in the dining room. Residents are encouraged to personalize their apartments to make Branchlands feel like home. Come and go as you please — Branchlands Manor House is here when you need them.   Related Articles: Your Complete Guide to Independent Living How to Choose an Independent Living Community to Call Home Independent Living Activities: Promoting a Healthy, Fulfilling Retirement
