Sanders Retirement Village in Gloucester, Virginia, operates as a continuing care retirement community, which allows residents to transition among varying levels of support without leaving the campus. Independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing are all available under one organizational umbrella, giving residents and their families clear pathways should health needs change over time. The community is equipped to manage chronic conditions, with a particular emphasis on structured Diabetes Care that includes blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and regular coordination with physicians.

Beyond the core care levels, the staff delivers daily assistance with activities such as bathing, grooming, mobility, and medication management. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock, and emergency response systems are in place in resident apartments. Therapy services—physical, occupational, and speech—are accessible through on-site or partner providers, and care plans are reassessed regularly to align with each resident’s current medical profile.

Residential options range from private suites to larger apartment layouts, and all are designed to support aging in place. Some accommodations feature direct access to landscaped outdoor areas that residents can use for walking or quiet relaxation, though not every unit includes this option. Housekeeping and maintenance are provided by the community, and basic utilities are part of the monthly fee unless otherwise specified in the individual contract.

The dining program offers three nutritionally balanced meals each day, prepared under the guidance of dietary staff who can accommodate physician-ordered restrictions, including carbohydrate-controlled menus for residents managing diabetes. Meals are served restaurant-style in a central dining room, with lighter fare available throughout the day. As with accommodations, dining options can vary slightly by resident plan or health-care level.

Residents have access to an activity center that hosts scheduled programs such as fitness classes, crafts, and educational sessions. A library and computer lounge provide space for reading, internet use, and small-group gatherings.
