Colonial Health and Rehab in Virginia Beach operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering 24-hour licensed nursing care for residents who need comprehensive medical oversight. The staff delivers post-acute rehabilitation, long-term custodial care, and short-stay respite services. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants monitor vital signs, manage medications, and provide assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. The rehabilitation department supplies physical, occupational, and speech therapy for residents recovering from surgery, injury, or illness, coordinating closely with physicians to set and track measurable goals.
Beyond routine nursing and therapy, the facility supports a range of clinical services intended to reduce hospital readmissions and stabilize chronic conditions. On-site medical directors, nurse practitioners, and consulting specialists handle wound care, IV therapy, pain management, and diabetic monitoring. Laboratory work, X-ray, and pharmacy services are arranged either on the premises or through mobile providers, allowing prompt adjustments to treatment plans. Care conferences with families and interdisciplinary staff keep everyone informed of progress and any needed changes in care intensity.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with adjustable hospital beds, accessible bathrooms, and emergency call systems. Individual climate controls, basic cable, and wireless internet are available in many rooms, though not all accommodations have all the features. Housekeeping and personal laundry services are performed on a regular schedule, and maintenance staff addresses repair requests promptly. Pets are allowed in designated areas. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
The culinary team prepares three daily meals served in the central dining room, with tray service offered for residents who need or prefer to eat in their rooms. Menus are planned by a registered dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and accommodate therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, cardiac, renal, or pureed. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and resident council meetings provide feedback that can lead to menu adjustments. While some rooms have space for personal mini-fridges, this option is not included in every accommodation.
