Maimonides Health Center of Virginia Beach sits at 6401 Auburn Drive and has served seniors for more than 40 years, always following Jewish values and dietary laws, and it's Southeastern Virginia's only home for the aged with these traditions. The center has a Skilled Nursing Facility with 120 licensed beds, offering both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation. Staff provide round-the-clock medical care, skilled nursing, medication administration, and manage treatment plans for both inpatient and outpatient needs. Residents get physical, occupational, and speech therapy, using a bright, state-of-the-art therapy gym with equipment like bikes, stairs, and parallel bars to help with recovery and movement.
There's a special unit dedicated to Alzheimer's and dementia care, with staff certified in dementia care, programming for cognitive needs, and activities that fit residents' abilities. Since about 80% of residents live with some form of memory loss, the staff receive Alzheimer's awareness training to provide safe and dignified support in family-style settings.
Rooms include a choice of private or semi-private setups, each furnished and bright, with hospital beds, recliners, cable or satellite TV, and private bathrooms featuring safety rails and roll-in showers. The nursing and rehab rooms feel comfortable and safe for all. Residents and visitors can relax in shared outdoor patios, picnic areas, and a raised garden for therapeutic activities like growing flowers or vegetables.
Maimonides pays close attention to wellness, independence, and lifelong vitality, focusing on building personal relationships and honoring each resident's background. Kosher food is offered, Jewish holidays and customs are observed, and a synagogue sanctuary supports religious needs. There are spaces like the Kantor Cafe for dining, the Fannie G. and Milton L. Friedman Welcome Center, a patients' lounge, an educational library, the Helen and Daniel Sonenshine Art Gallery, and a hair salon to cover both cultural and daily living needs. The Gifford Rehabilitation Pavilion and the Glasser Health and Wellness Center give extra support for therapy and fitness, while Berger-Goldrich Home and The Terrace provide additional living options.
The campus finished a $9 million renovation in 2020, making spaces clean, comfortable, updated, and inviting, and there's a welcoming atmosphere with like-minded friends and activities. Residents join in a vibrant social life, enjoy nutritious meals, and take part in outings or programs that help them connect and stay active. There's 24-hour nurse coverage, emergency call systems, transportation, Wi-Fi, and housekeeping so seniors can focus on their health and comfort. The rate for semi-private rooms ranges from $258 to $294, and private rooms go from $265 to $302 per day.
Maimonides has a long record of high resident satisfaction and has received consistently high Medicare (CMS) ratings, including 5 stars and recognition as a best nursing home for Virginia by US News. Residents can also access services like adult day care, assisted living, home health care, and hospice partnership when needed. The Auxiliary Religious and Cultural Center brings additional spiritual and cultural events. The center is connected to VirginiaNavigator, disAbilityNavigator, SeniorNavigator, and VeteransNavigator, giving access to a resource directory with over 26,000 local, state, and national services and programs, as well as links to guides on caregiving, health, housing, financial planning, and veterans' benefits.
Emergency services are available, and the environment encourages dignity and personal growth. Whether someone needs skilled nursing, memory care, or help with daily needs in a safe, faith-focused home, Maimonides Health Center tries to provide that with respect, comfort, and care.
