    About Dominion Village At Chesapeake - CLOSED

    Dominion Village at Chesapeake, now closed, sat on Forehand Drive in Chesapeake, VA, and belonged to the Five Star Senior Living group, and you could always tell it was a smaller, homey place by the way the front porch looked out over the landscaped grounds, which had walking paths, a garden, and residents sometimes raised a cockatiel that was known to sing, and because it welcomed pets like cats and dogs, it felt more relaxed than some other places. The community offered different types of rooms, including studio, suite, semi-private, and companion layouts, each with emergency call response systems and, for those who needed it, wheelchair-accessible features, which made it easier for folks with different health needs to get around and feel safe, since there was also a 24-hour call system, awake staff, and nurses on site, with a doctor on call and visiting specialists like podiatrists, physical therapists, or occupational therapists coming by. The staff there stayed on for a long time, which gave everyone a sense of continuity, and the care offered at Dominion Village covered several levels, from independent living to assisted living, heavy care, Alzheimer's and dementia care, secured memory care, diabetes management including insulin shots, incontinence care, and home health care, with support for aging in place when residents needed more help over time, even for two-person transfers or for those at risk of wandering. People living there joined a variety of activities-movie nights, art classes, stretching and chair yoga, Wii bowling, a gardening club-and could take part in community or resident-run events in the indoor or outdoor common areas, like the elegant dining room, the recreation room, or the library, and sometimes devotional services were offered both on and offsite. Dining worked "restaurant style" with all-day options, homemade bread pudding with lemon sauce, and accommodations for special diets, and the staff handled medication management, bathing, grooming, meals, laundry, linen, and housekeeping, so it took a lot off the residents' plates, and they accepted people with more serious behavioral health needs, provided a secure area for memory care residents, used a computer-based wander alert system with bracelets, and allowed people who needed diabetes care or had incontinence issues, so long as they could manage some of their own needs, with reminders from staff as needed. Dominion Village had things like a beauty/barber shop on site, an activities kitchen, organized outings, and transportation options for medical appointments or leisure-though there was a charge for some trips, and they had resident parking for those who drove. The minimum age was 55, which kept it geared toward seniors, and with a warm and intimate setting, lots of chances to socialize, and extra touches like a singing cockatiel to listen to, the whole place always aimed to help residents stay safe, comfortable, and active whether they were living quite independently or needed constant supervision because of memory loss.
