Masonic Home of Virginia offers assisted-living care with a clinical emphasis on managing chronic conditions. Licensed nurses (RNs and LPNs) are on staff around the clock, and an awake night-shift team ensures continuous monitoring. Residents who need diabetes management receive routine oversight, and the community is prepared to support individuals with mild dementia. Podiatry services are provided on-site to reduce the need for outside appointments and to address common foot issues linked to diabetes or mobility challenges.
Daily living support is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, all delivered as self-care assistance to help residents maintain as much independence as possible. Staff help with transfers for those who use walkers or wheelchairs. Safety features include 24-hour security staff, fenced grounds front and rear, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems that tie directly to on-duty nurses. All employees undergo background checks, and an activity director is present to coordinate structured engagement throughout the day.
Accommodations range from suites with private bathrooms and kitchenettes to more streamlined units; not every residence includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a visit. Independent temperature controls and cable connections are available in select units.
Dining choices include a rotating set menu, made-to-order selections, and snacks between meals. The dietary team accommodates physician-ordered modifications and general nutrition preferences. Independent-living residents can opt for a monthly meal plan and also receive weekly housekeeping and laundry services as part of their package.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outside smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces. Amenities include a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and a washer/dryer area. Regular religious services are held on campus, and scheduled transportation is offered, with the community situated near public transit for added convenience. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
