The Orchard in Warsaw, VA provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to stay in the same community even if their support needs change. Short-term respite stays are available, and the team is experienced in daily diabetes management, including glucose monitoring and insulin administration. On-site physician oversight helps coordinate ongoing treatment plans, and a speech therapist is available to address swallowing issues or communication challenges that often accompany aging or neurological conditions.
Additional clinical resources are built into the community’s operations. A secured environment supports residents living with cognitive loss, and apartments are located within layouts designed to reduce confusion. Residents have prompt access to physical and occupational therapy, podiatry, and hospice services when required. Medication management, incontinence care, and assistance with ambulation are coordinated by licensed nurses who are present on campus. Family and resident counseling is offered to help navigate care decisions and transitions.
Apartments can include features such as kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, and cable or satellite television, with Wi-Fi available throughout the building. Some residences overlook outdoor areas, while others are near common spaces that include a central fireplace, piano or organ, and seating areas for informal visits. The property is pet-friendly, and parking is available for residents who still drive. Because floor plans and finishes vary, not every accommodation contains every listed feature.
Dining is designed to be flexible. Residents can choose all-day dining or enjoy scheduled mealtimes in the main restaurant-style venue. A professional chef prepares menus that can accommodate gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and other specialized diets. Guest meals are available so family and friends can join residents, and snacks are accessible between meals.
Daily life is supported by an activity center, a library and computer lounge, outdoor walking paths, and a swimming pool for low-impact exercise. Fitness classes, live music, happy hour gatherings, and birthday celebrations add structure to the week. Reminiscence and sensory-based programs are offered for residents living with memory loss, while clubs, social outings, and community events encourage broader engagement.
