Chestnut Grove in Richmond, VA provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programs calibrated for residents who wander day or night, present elopement or behavioral risks, or live with advanced dementia. The clinical team is trained to manage complex medical profiles that include wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and all levels of diabetic care—oral medications, injections, or sliding scale. Younger adults under 60 who require this level of oversight can also be accommodated.
An RN or LPN is on staff, background-checked caregivers are awake all night, and the building maintains 24-hour staffing with secured entrances, fenced outdoor areas, wander-guard technology, pull-cord alerts, and optional personal emergency response systems. Podiatry is available on-site, and residents with psychiatric conditions are accepted. The community provides full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can support transfers ranging from standby to two-person assists using walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette with sink, microwave, and refrigerator, independent climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every unit contains every amenity, so prospective residents should confirm details during a tour. Housekeeping and linen service are included for all apartments.
Meals are served in a large central dining room adjoining a courtyard, with a set daily menu and an on-order option for alternate selections. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family visits. The culinary staff accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic, cardiac, and texture-modified plans.
Residents have access to on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy for a fee, a barber and beauty salon, an activity room, movie room, library, front parlor with fireplace, greenhouse with raised beds, outdoor gazebo, and communal gardens. Additional conveniences include internet access, transportation services, resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a covered entrance, on-site religious services, pet-therapy visits, and medication management included in rent. Smoking is allowed outdoors, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Chestnut Grove operates under a three-year state license issued in 2022.
