The Waterford at Virginia Beach offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to a secured setting with staff trained to support everyday health needs and the challenges that can accompany memory loss. Licensed team members are on duty around the clock, and every apartment is equipped with an emergency response system for rapid assistance. The community can accommodate residents who have combative behaviors and those who require physician-ordered special diets, ensuring that individual health plans are followed closely. While Memory Care is available, the community does not list specialized programs for specific dementia diagnoses.
In addition to continuous monitoring, caregivers provide targeted help with the activities that often become difficult with age: bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, all offered at a “some physical assistance” level to maintain resident independence where possible. Transfer support is available whether a resident uses a walker, wheelchair or simply needs standby supervision. The building itself is fully secured to reduce the risk of wandering, and the staff-to-resident ratio is adjusted to reflect the needs of both Assisted Living and Memory Care residents.
Apartments come in a range of floor plans, and not every unit includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify availability during a tour. Select accommodations may feature kitchenettes, washer and dryer sets, large picture windows with mini blinds, wall-to-wall carpeting, or wheelchair-accessible showers. Many suites open onto private balconies, patios or decks, and wide entryways simplify navigation for wheelchair users. The common areas include a central fireplace, piano, multiple lounge seating areas and beautifully manicured grounds that provide outdoor space for relaxation.
Dining is anchored by three chef-prepared meals served each day in a communal dining room, with menus adjusted for physician-ordered special diets. Residents who prefer to dine in their own rooms can do so, and snacks are available between meals. Care staff monitor nutrition and hydration, particularly for Memory Care residents who may need verbal cues or gentle reminders at mealtimes.
Residents at The Waterford at Virginia Beach have access to an exercise room, wellness center, movie room, library and multiple activity rooms for social gatherings. A full-service barber and beauty shop is located on-site, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and errands. Emergency call systems are installed throughout the property, and personalized assistance with daily activities is provided as care plans require. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
