Chesapeake Health and Rehabilitation Center in Chesapeake, VA operates as a skilled nursing home, offering around-the-clock licensed nursing care for residents who need long-term support or short-term recovery. The facility is equipped to manage complex medical conditions through continuous monitoring, medication administration, wound care, and coordination with physicians, hospitals, and specialists.
Additional medical services include structured physical therapy delivered by licensed therapists in an on-site rehabilitation gym, designed to improve strength, balance, and mobility after surgery, illness, or injury. Short-stay respite care is available for family caregivers who need a temporary break, with the same nursing oversight and therapy resources provided to long-term residents. Care plans are individualized, reviewed regularly, and adjusted as clinical needs change.
Resident rooms are offered in a mix of private and shared layouts. Many, though not all, include in-room Wi-Fi, cable television, and space for small personal items. Select accommodations are pet friendly, and the campus features outdoor areas where residents can sit with visitors or participate in supervised activities.
Three meals a day are prepared on site and served in a central dining room, with menus overseen by dietary staff who accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified options. Staff are on hand to assist residents who need help eating, and snacks are available between meals.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts group games, crafts, and fitness sessions. Residents can join clubs and communities that align with personal interests, use the library and computer lounge for reading or email, and take part in scheduled social outings to local shops, parks, or events. Transportation and staff supervision are provided to ensure safety during these excursions.
