The Waterford at Virginia Beach is a senior living community that offers several care options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, respite care, and hospice care, and you'll see they have services tailored for different needs, so some folks may need just a little help while others need more hands-on support, and they have services like daily living assistance, medication reminders, and specialized dementia care for memory support, and they make sure safety's handled with 24-7 staff, an emergency response system, and wide entryways for those using wheelchairs or motorized scooters. The staff stays friendly and helpful, and they work hard to make things feel homey, with programs meant to keep people active, social, and healthy, whether that's something simple like reading in the on-site library or getting together for daily exercise classes, games, singing by the grand piano, and both onsite and offsite activities so nobody feels left out.
Residents can choose from studio apartments, some with combined living and sleeping areas, or private suites with their own bedroom and bathroom, and memory care studio apartments even give a kitchenette with a mini-fridge, microwave, and sink. The community has indoor and outdoor common areas, a beautician on-site, a salon and barber, and a dog-friendly outdoor space for soaking up the sun, plus a nice courtyard, open hallways, and a patio with comfortable seating for getting some fresh air, and there's a cozy library with a fireplace just for memory care residents. The facility serves meals in an elegant dining room with warm wood floors and chandeliers, and people get three meals each day with tables set for neighbors to sit together; there's also daily newspaper delivery, housekeeping, laundry, and devotional services.
For anyone needing transportation, complimentary rides to medical appointments are offered, along with other outings, and parking's provided for residents who still drive. They include on-site therapy-physical, occupational, and speech therapy-and have activities like billiards, board and card games, and educational programs, as well as strolls around landscaped grounds. The Waterford offers a variety of resources to help families understand their payment options, including information about Veterans Benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, and possible tax deductions, plus they help folks work through using home sales, insurance, or personal savings to cover the cost of care. Their online presence offers caregivers planning help, glossaries, and stories, making things a little bit easier for families trying to figure it all out. All of this is structured to keep life comfortable and as independent as possible, with attention to each person's dignity in a safe setting where seniors can relax and be themselves and, hopefully, find a good group of friends.
