Harbor’s Edge in Norfolk, Virginia offers three primary levels of residency: Independent Living for adults who prefer a maintenance-free lifestyle, Assisted Living for residents who need help with daily activities, and a secure Memory Care program designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. All three settings are located on the same campus, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community.
Medical oversight is built into daily operations. Physicians visit the campus, and residents can schedule appointments with speech therapists and specialists in diabetes management. The community is secured to protect residents who may wander, and the Memory Care neighborhood is laid out specifically to accommodate memory loss. On-site services include incontinence and ambulatory care, medication management, hospice coordination, and regular visits from occupational, physical, and podiatry therapists. A dedicated clinical team monitors care plans and adjusts services as residents’ needs change.
Apartments and suites vary in size and layout; some come with kitchenettes, private balconies or patios, and wheelchair-accessible showers, while others feature a central fireplace or quick access to outdoor areas such as the deck and raised garden beds. All residences are air-conditioned, and parking is available for those who drive. The community is pet-friendly, but not every unit can accommodate pets, and not all accommodations have every feature listed.
Dining operates on an all-day schedule, so residents can eat when it suits them. Meals, prepared by a professional chef, are served in a restaurant-style dining room, with guest meals available. The culinary team offers international dishes alongside vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar options to meet dietary requirements.
Residents can use an indoor swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, and a fitness center that hosts yoga and chair yoga sessions. Social spaces include a library and computer lounge, an activity center for clubs, live music, birthday parties, dances, and intergenerational programs. Regular happy hours, raised-bed gardening, and planned social outings into Norfolk round out the schedule, giving residents multiple ways to stay active and connected.
