This is possibly the worst place to ever place your loved one. Negligible, rude, and the most uncaring, unprofessional facility ever.
My father-in-law was ignored, the catheter was unemptied even though he was at high risk for infection. Nurses did not care, did not like that you were there asking questions. I had to clean him, wipe him down. Chase down members to help move him in his bed. If I did not go every day not sure he would of made it.
Do not send anyone who you love there.

I have seen many Nursing homes across the nation and I am a bit confused concerning the previous reviews of this facility . It is by far the cleanest I have seen and it doesn’t smell of urine like the others. The staff and nurses are very compassionate and caring toward my mother who is almost 102 years old. The only thing I have heard her complain about is the food , which she says is tasteless. She is an awesome cook who knows how to season food so I understand her disdain. At her age, she should not be denied salt and other spices! Let her enjoy her meals. She has a DNR on file and is not concerned about dying, especially from the things she eat.
Before you complain about this facility, visit some others. I have sang for and ministered to the elderly in many facilities and would not hesitate to recommend this place. If they’ve had issues in the past, they have obviously been addressed and corrected! A huge thank you to Miranda, Ashley, and many others whom i’ve Met! You’re awesome! God bless you.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Chesapeake, VA
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
