Retreat at Kemps River sits in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach, with tree-lined streets, quiet homes, and a strong sense of community, and you'll notice the grounds are peaceful and well-kept, with plenty of places for walking or just sitting outside under the trees or by the pond. The community only admits adults aged 55 and better, so everyone's in the same place in life, and the whole area feels friendly and safe, with a focus on comfort but not forgetting independence. They offer both assisted living and independent living, so you'll have help if you need it, like bathing, dressing, or medication, because they've got round-the-clock supervision and an emergency alert system in place, and if you're just looking for someone to check in on you or help with the cooking, that's covered, too.
There are only six residents at a time, which means things don't get too noisy, and everybody gets a little attention, which helps people get to know each other and staff easily, and there's also respite care for short-term stays if caregivers need a break. The homes themselves come in five floor plans, all with modern touches like big kitchen islands, vaulted ceilings, and grand owner's suites, usually with two-car garages and sometimes a screened porch, and the spaces stay bright with lots of natural light so it doesn't feel closed in at all. Each unit's got private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, and both Wi-Fi and air conditioning, so there's comfort built in, and the eating is easy with a chef, restaurant-style and all-day dining, and meals that can be adjusted for special diets like diabetes or allergies.
Folks can gather in the clubhouse, use the fitness center, take a swim outside in the pool, visit the fire pit for some conversation, or join in on game nights, movie programs, or trips to the community garden, and the walking paths are good for a stroll any time. The activity room, arts room, and library give people a spot to try something new or just unwind, and housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and family support services are all provided to keep things running smoothly. You're close to shopping centers and schools here, and the nearby neighborhoods of Bellamy Manor and Fairfield have plenty of big, attractive homes on wide lots, so the area feels settled and friendly.
The place is run by WeldenField & Rowe and focuses on senior housing with a caring staff, aiming to give each resident a sense of belonging, plenty of privacy, and whatever medical or personal support is needed, and you can find more about their options and services at http://www.theretreatatkempsriver.com/.
