Families in Suffolk have much to consider before they can decide on the right care for loved ones with Alzheimer's. The table below lists several nonprofit organizations that operate locally. These organizations offer various kinds of assistance and can help families learn more about their care options.
Specialized residences or secure units in assisted living communities offer memory care, but providers must have a license from the Virginia Department of Social Services. The department sets stringent health and safety requirements to ensure seniors' well-being while they reside in memory care communities.
Suffolk Memory Care Communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all Memory Care Facilities in Virginia are required to follow. Visit our Memory Care in Virginia page for more information about these laws.
