The Poorhouse at Chatham is now known (in 2011) as Oak Grove Residential Care facility. The facility appears to look just about the same as it did when the Poorhouse was in operation. The cemetery for this Poorhouse is in very poor condition. Most of the records for the Poorhouse were destroyed, but a few records do exist and is kept by the staff at Oak Grove Residential Care. The cemetery has very few marked graves. There are approximately 20 or more graves that are marked with just rocks and another 41 graves that are marked with small brass markers that have a number on the marker. The smallest number found on the markers is #3 and the highest number found is #188. It is not known what these number represent. There are also many indentions that appear to be grave sites that have no markings at all. This poorhouse was in operation in the 1920's and 1930's and accepted residents from the counties of Patrick, Henry and Pittsylvania.
