Acadia Care Home in Afton, VA operates as both an assisted-living residence and a licensed residential care home. The community accepts residents who wander at any hour, live with behavioral issues, require oxygen therapy, follow special diets, or need diabetic management—whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale. Younger adults under 60 are also eligible. Care teams are trained to manage advanced dementia and to stay alert for residents who are up all night, providing continuous oversight and intervention as needed.

Clinical support is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and awake night-shift caregivers. All employees undergo background checks, and pull-cord systems summon help quickly. The property is fully staffed around the clock, equipped with perimeter fencing, and maintains 24-hour security. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision and walker or wheelchair support to one- or two-person assistance, mechanical lifts, and bed-bound care, ensuring residents can remain in place as mobility changes.

Accommodations include furnished rooms with the option for private bathrooms, cable service, and the freedom to paint or personalize living spaces; however, not every room contains every feature, so families should confirm availability during tours. The environment is arranged to allow residents to retain privacy while still being within easy reach of staff.

Dining services provide a set daily menu complemented by an on-order choice system for those who want alternatives. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen staff follows physician-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-adjusted meals, to match individual health plans.

Residents have access to parking, outside smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible pathways, and reliable internet. Shared amenities include communal gardens, on-site religious services, a hair stylist/barber, regular housekeeping and laundry, a pool, covered front porch, sunroom, house kitchen, general dining room, gas fireplace, ceiling fans, and cameras for added security. Medical professionals visit on site, and therapy sessions can be held in the exercise room. Hall and shared bathrooms, a stair lift, and a wheelchair lift from the garage improve safety and mobility. Scheduled transportation is available for appointments or errands. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
