The Commons At Princess Anne is a senior living community at 4924 Princess Anne Rd. #106, in Virginia Beach, VA 23462. Residents aged 55 and older can choose from one or two-bedroom apartments with small bedrooms, private bathrooms with emergency call systems, options for patios or balconies, washer and dryer, and allow cats and dogs, since pets are welcome here. Smoking is allowed in private and public indoor areas, which is something not all places allow anymore. The community provides health care with nurses and other staff on-site, plus options for skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, respite care, hospice care, independent living, home care, nursing home care, rehabilitation, and adult day care, so residents can get help if they need it for short or long stays, or when they need help with daily things like bathing and medicine, or for those living with memory loss.
The apartments are easy to get to with four elevators, accessible parking, and ramps for wheelchairs, so folks with mobility issues can get around, and there are plenty of amenities like a library with big bookshelves, quiet reading spots, and nice light, plus a fitness center with treadmills and bikes, a community room for planned activities and gatherings, and a courtyard with a gazebo, picnic spots, walking trails, gardens, and places to sit outside. Residents can enjoy social events and group meals in a big dining area, and they get nutritious dishes planned by chefs who care about healthy meals, and transportation and parking are provided, with complimentary rides and accessible spaces for those who drive.
The grounds are landscaped and kept nice by staff, which makes it pleasant to walk around or relax outside, and there are maintenance-free homes, so folks don't have to worry about repairs or yard work. The Commons At Princess Anne offers both independent living for those who want to stay active and social, and more support for those who need help, with trained aides for non-medical home care, staff for nursing or memory support, and extra safety features in the apartments. Bedrooms run small, which some people mention, but the rest of the living spaces have modern kitchens with open areas, community spaces for activities, and bistro-style patios with plants and seating.
The location has easy access to places like Wegmans, CVS, doctor offices, parks, cafes like Starbucks and Panera, restaurants like Sonic and Mission BBQ, and transportation hubs. Senior residents can bring their pets, join activities, and meet neighbors in communal spaces, with options for personal care, rehabilitation, or even short-term stays for caregivers who need a break. The Commons At Princess Anne isn't fancy but offers necessary comforts and choices, for folks who want to stay busy or need extra support with daily living.
