The Laurels of University Park in Richmond, VA operates as a nursing home, concentrating on skilled nursing services and rehabilitative care. Residents who need a short recovery period after surgery or illness can take advantage of respite or other short-term stays, and an on-site physician is available for routine oversight and for changes in condition. Speech therapists work with residents who have communication or swallowing challenges, integrating therapy into each individual’s care plan.

Licensed nursing staff remain on duty around the clock, and every resident room is connected to an emergency call system that alerts caregivers in real time. This continual monitoring supports quicker response times to falls, pain issues, or other urgent needs, allowing medical staff to intervene promptly and adjust care plans when necessary.

Private and semi-private rooms are offered, and many include in-room Wi-Fi, cable television, and utilities as part of the monthly rate. Some rooms feature wheelchair-accessible showers, and all have access to shared outdoor areas and on-site parking. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation has all listed features, so prospective residents and families should confirm specifics during a tour.

Daily meals are provided and served in communal dining areas, with modified textures and physician-ordered diets available for those who need them. Snacks are accessible between meals, and staff can assist residents who require help with eating or who follow specialized nutrition plans.

Residents have access to an activity center for group programs, a library and computer lounge for quiet reading or internet use, and organized clubs and community groups that foster social interaction. These amenities aim to balance medical care with opportunities for engagement and routine.
