Beth Sholom Village sits at 6401 Auburn Dr in Chesapeake, VA, and folks have known it as a retirement community that's been serving seniors for a good while now, with 120 licensed beds and a history going back over 40 years providing care and support. People can find many types of help here, whether someone needs long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or assisted living and memory care services through the Maimonides Health Center, The Berger-Goldrich Home, and The Terrace. The staff stands out for having special training in dementia care, since about 80% of the residents have some form of memory loss, and the aim is always for compassion, respect, and safety in a warm environment. Beth Sholom Village does things a little differently by following Jewish values and dietary laws, being the only such home for the aged in Southeastern Virginia, and offering things like the Auxiliary Religious and Cultural Center so folks can keep practicing faith and culture if they wish.
Rooms come in both private and semi-private setups, with prices ranging from $258 to $294 for a semi-private room and $265 to $302 for a private one, and there are comfortable apartments and suites that make it easy for people to maintain their independence but still get care when they need it. The rehabilitation services can help people recover from things like strokes or fractures, with physical therapy and a modern gym, and there's also day rehab for those who don't need to stay overnight. Residents get weekly housekeeping, medication management, social and recreational activities, housekeeping, 24-hour security, and meals made to fit their dietary needs. Memory care supports residents in a family-like setting, and there's hospice care available through partnerships for end-of-life support without having to move far from familiar faces.
Unique features include the Helen and Daniel Sonenshine Art Gallery, the Fannie G. and Milton L. Friedman Welcome Center, the Lee H. and Helen G. Gifford Rehabilitation Pavilion, the Rose Frances and Bernard Glasser Health and Wellness Center, plus multipurpose lounges for everyone to relax or socialize. The Village also offers help with financial planning, insurance, legal matters, and transportation, drawing on a big network and a resource directory of over 26,000 programs, with ties to sites such as VirginiaNavigator, disAbilityNavigator, SeniorNavigator, VeteransNavigator, and Lindsay Institute. Their care extends to veterans and people with disabilities, with resources and programs to help with employment, health, housing, and daily living. Caregivers and families can find guides, helpful links, events, videos, and books in the on-site library, and the staff has a good reputation, totaling about 176 full-time equivalents and about 39,562 patient days recorded for the last fiscal year.
The Berger-Goldrich Home, the nursing facility at Beth Sholom, has been running since 1980 and keeps a focus on quality, person-centered care, and maintaining independence and dignity for residents, and with consistently high CMS ratings, recent 5-star reviews, and recognition as a US News best nursing home for Virginia, folks know it's a place where health and daily life really matter. There's always an open door for walk-in inquiries, with written application requirements that include a birth certificate and medical records, and every part of the community works to promote wellness, social engagement, and lifelong vitality in a friendly and inviting atmosphere, making room for people from all sorts of backgrounds, financial means, and life experiences, while keeping close ties with the Jewish community and local senior service organizations to make sure everyone stays connected and supported.
