Harbourway Assisted Living

Harbourway Assisted Living sits at 1217 Alliance Drive in Virginia Beach and has 66 beds for seniors needing care. The community puts focus on safety, especially for residents with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, so the environment is secure and there's trained staff always present, including a licensed practical nurse at all times along with state-certified nursing assistants. Five apartment floor plans have names like the Sandpiper, The Osprey, The Meadowlark, The Sanderling, and The Heron, with each including comfort features like a spacious bathroom, kitchenette with a sink, small fridge, cabinets, plus walk-in and coat closets. Residents can use amenities such as a fitness center, library, arts and crafts room, game room, movie theater, outdoor courtyard with a vegetable garden, spa, sauna, wellness room, and there's high-speed Wi-Fi and cable TV in each room. Harbourway offers secured memory care support, flexible care plans, and help with activities including bathing, grooming, dressing, medication, and getting around. The caremerge system helps families and residents get real-time updates. Meals are prepared by a professional chef with attention to allergies and special dietary needs like a diabetes diet, and the dining program has received awards. On-site and off-site activities happen daily, and residents enjoy devotional services, music programs, resident-led clubs, scheduled outings, and a full calendar of events. There's also move-in coordination, regular housekeeping, laundry, and an on-site salon and barber. The fitness room and outdoor walking paths help promote regular exercise while the staff supports those needing diabetic care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory care. Harbourway's community-operated transportation helps residents get to local services and amenities, and concierge help is available 365 days a year. The facility connects to resources from groups like VirginiaNavigator, SeniorNavigator, and VeteransNavigator, and offers information and support for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities in areas like legal help, caregiving, housing, planning, and transportation. Its resource library holds articles, guides, event listings, and links, and a large directory of programs and services. Ms. Valerie L. Holden is the administrator. Harbourway Assisted Living runs as an Assisted Living Facility, includes 52 apartments with 66 beds, and strives to adjust services as needs change, offering respite care and support for families too.
