Westminster Canterbury in Lynchburg, VA delivers nursing-home care with 24-hour licensed nursing and ongoing oversight by medical professionals. Short-term respite stays are available for families who need temporary support, and residents managing diabetes receive regular blood-glucose monitoring, nutrition guidance, and medication administration. The care team coordinates with physicians to adjust treatment plans and respond quickly to changes in health status.
Beyond skilled nursing, the facility offers on-site rehabilitation services, medication management, and routine health assessments to help maintain or improve each resident’s level of functioning. A staff dietitian works closely with nurses to tailor meal plans, and care conferences are held with residents and families to review goals and progress. The community’s approach centers on consistent staffing and clear communication so that residents experience continuity of care.
Private and semi-private accommodations range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger floor plans, some with in-unit washers and dryers. Most utilities and basic cable are included, and housekeeping is provided. Residents have access to landscaped grounds, outdoor walking paths, garden areas, and several patios where pets are welcome; however, not every residence includes every listed feature, so it is best to verify specific room options during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site three times daily and served in communal dining rooms, with tray service available if needed. Menus rotate regularly and emphasize balanced nutrition, including carbohydrate-controlled options for individuals with diabetes. Staff accommodate physician-ordered diets and personal preferences, and snacks are available throughout the day for residents who require smaller, more frequent meals.
An activity center hosts arts and crafts sessions, movie nights, club meetings, and wellness classes. Scheduled social outings keep residents connected to the Lynchburg community, while health and wellness programs encourage regular exercise and preventive education. Together, these services aim to support both the physical health and daily engagement of each resident.
