Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a senior living community in Virginia Beach, VA, that serves people from all faiths and backgrounds, and though it's sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Richmond, it's a nondenominational and not-for-profit place. The community offers assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation care, memory care with the Reflections Memory Care Program, and long-term care. The nursing center has licensed nurses available around the clock, and there are private and semi-private rooms, big televisions in the lounge, and meals prepared by chefs in a large formal dining room where residents usually get generous portions. There's an emergency response system, on-site chapel, pastoral counselor, and religious services that welcome different faiths, so anyone can find support there. Amenities include walking paths through wooded grounds, an enclosed courtyard, a front porch with seats, landscaped gardens, a spa, on-site therapy, and a big focus on outings and day trips for those who want to get out. Residents join in unique activities like Opening Minds through Art, an intergenerational art program, and Life Enrichment programming with special events, outings, and trips to nearby attractions. There's speech, physical, and occupational therapy available on-site, and staff help with medication, daily needs, and even hospice care if needed. The building has an older look and feel, with wood furniture and art on the walls in common areas and rooms, and some staff have been working there for over a decade. Housekeeping services, controlled entry, transportation, and fresh meals are all included in the daily routine. Funding comes from several options, like private funds, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or private pay, with room rates set for private and semi-private options. With 30 licensed beds and 32.1 full-time equivalent staff, patient days for the last fiscal year totaled over 10,600. Financial data, efficiency indicators, and quartile rankings are audited and reviewed every year. Residents and their families value the friendly, home-like environment, private rooms, and accessible grounds, and the community tries to offer reliable care, support, and ways to enjoy each day.
