These facilities provide skilled nurses, aides, 24/7 supervision and therapies along with room and board and social programs. Such extensive support raises the cost of nursing homes compared to other senior care options. Home health care or assisted living may be more affordable and suitable alternatives for individuals not requiring high levels of care.

Elite Eldercare has very nice,well-kept houses. Each person has their room that opens up to the little porch to the side. It is almost like a private home with several residents living there and a nurse’s assistant. Somebody is there with them at all times. The facility is very nice and very clean. They cook their own food there. Not everybody has a kitchen; there’s just one main kitchen. Each one has their own room with TV. I thought it was very nice. They have 2 bathrooms on the bottom floor. I didn’t go upstairs, but they have rooms up there with bathrooms.

Can’t say enough good things about the health care unit at the Chesapeake. My dad, who was a Chesapeake resident in both independent & assisted living, had to be admitted into the health care unit several times. Every nurse, administrator, assistant, housekeeper and every other health care unit staff member was professional, cheerful, and always at the ready to do all that was necessary. My dad died in that wing, but not after all that could be done for him had been done by that loving staff. They also did everything they could to keep me informed and comforted. What a great group!

I remember coming here during my HS days. We IBers (the program we were in at the time) had taken on projects to hep our community. We could tutor younger children, help clean up other areas around town or hang out with the elderly. Over this time period I visited a few centers, reading to the persons who lived there.
At The Newport, I felt as if the staff were there, or rather wanted to be there. They weren’t smiling because they had to in front of visitors, you saw it in their care of their residents. A simple smile in the nurses voice towards the gentleman I recall watching TV with in asking which team was winning that day put a smile on my face. She didn’t have to ask him anything but she did. In fact in observing the staff it was readily apparently they saw their residents as people not more mouths to feed, bath and babysit. It was a very classy place in my opinion.

I was in short term for 3 weeks. There was a few good staff but so short handed. Didn’t even have wipes to clean my ostomy bag. Had a blow out with my ostomy bag had to wait two hours for someone to come help so I had poo on my skin for two hours. Some C&A’s refused to help clean it up. Food was pretty bad never consistent on the time it was served. I had a corn chip I had dropped on the floor and it stayed on the floor for the entire time I was there. They didn’t want to get me up and walk with me because I had 3 catheter’s and I was too much trouble. But if they had I would have gotten out and home sooner. I needed wound care for a severe would ( hole) and it needed to be cleaned and packed at least every other day. I went as long as 3 days without any attention to it. I pray I never end up it another place like this . I would soon go on to Glory if that’s the case. This place needs to be shut down. I feel sorry for the old ppl that has no one or can’t speak for themselves

THIS FACILITY IS EXTREMELY POOR TO THEIR PATIENTS!!! My grandma was taken here and told she was going to get the most up right and top care that they could provide for her and, THEY FAILED MISERABLY!!! She was 68 years old and could have lived a longer life if this facility didn’t fail to do their jobs CORRECTLY. I highly disagree to take any of your family members here for care because you will be let down. My grandma was a beautiful person and this place took that from my family and I, so this facility deserves to be shut down and all the CNA’S need their jobs taken away. I’m TRULY convinced that if this situation happened to ANYONE in this facility they would BEND OVER BACKWARDS to make share that their mom, father, grandmother OR WHATEVER FAMILY MEMEBR IT WOULD be they’d make sure that they were given the best care that could be provided. I’m terribly disappointed with this place and I can’t BELIEVE WHAT YOU GUYS DID TO MY GRANDMOTHER!!!

This place is bad. My mom was in this place care between June to September 2020. No one called me that she was transferred to the place. I called the front desk to see what room she is in and what is the treatment plan was. No point of contact for the case manager or anything. After calling the second time they finally gave me a number to call submission. They didn’t give me any information about lad anything that she might need or have there. Social work called me on Friday which the next day that I need to fill out paperwork and she realized that the last name was for name misspelled and she was going to correct it and made sure she had the right email. I never received the email. I called on Monday to let her know I didn’t receive it and she realized that she sent to wrong email and didn’t get a bounce back. I was worried that someone now has my mom’s personal information. I received the form and it was wrong my name wasn’t corrected. I had to white out most of the information to correct it. I had to ask the case manager to send me a welcome packet about their place.My mom was complaining about the nurse not helping her when she needs it and they were rude to her. I have called all administrators and left a voicemail. No one called me back It took few times to get the social worker to call me back when I have questions. They didn’t give me an answer on how my mom is doing in order to move her to assisted living. I ask multiple times about the trach collar, they said she needs to see a doctor. They waited for weeks for her to see a doctor check to see if it can be removed. There few times the front desk didn’t know how to assist me in getting to the right person. I ask many times to speak with a doctor there and never spoke to them once about her care. I end called the corporate office about all the issues. Some were fixed, but they keep getting worse. They didn’t clean my mom’s trach collar for a month. I ask the head nurse that they need to clean that daily and they didn’t. The doctor took her off one of the heart med and when I called the nurse to see what it was, they told me that they didn’t. When I took her to her heart doctor at riverside they ask me why she was taken off this med. I told them they told they didn’t, and my mom said they did. After that, I didn’t believe the nurse anymore and listen to what my mom says.They mess up doctor appointments because they didn’t follow the doctor’s order and they end up getting her appointment cancel which cost me an off day, time, and gas. I could go on and on about this place. I have seen staff not wearing masks, as they should. They had a breakout of the whole wing getting covid-19. Please save the trouble, don’t go there.

I have tried the food. I won’t say it’s excellent, but it’s good. They offer options, so diets can be tailored. They’re trying to please a whole lot of different people with different tastes, and they do a pretty good job of it. They have a full calendar of activities.

We chose Riverside Healthy Living Community Smithfield based on the recommendation of friends and a few nurse’s aides, and their review from U.S. Health. It looked like their information was good, and my dad seems to be happy there. My dad’s biggest thing was that he says the food is excellent. There’s actually an issue pending there. My dad was in the nursing care facility part so he wears a diaper. Unfortunately, he was not monitored for his urine output, so as a result he wasn’t urinating, and no one knew that, so he was rushed to the hospital for other symptoms, but it turned out to be a new condition my dad was having. So I would have to blame the nursing staff on that. We like the community itself because what happened was more of a staff issue. The room really looks beautiful. He pays $7,200 a month and my dad has long-term insurance which helps with that. I think that’s about what everyone else is charging.

I’m not against it, but I wouldn’t recommend it like I would have two years ago. Two years ago, the food was excellent, but now it’s just average. They used to have a lot of activities, but my mother’s health is different now than what it was before. They have activities there. I definitely had more interaction with the staff before, pre-COVID. It was a warmer atmosphere back then in 2019 compared to now. Now it feels cold and has a different vibe.

I love the services here. The staff is very friendly, particularly Shawn, Tamaro, Tanieka, Amber and others. However, I am concerned about the loosening of the Covid restrictions . I have a relative currently in James River and unfortunately I’m about 4 hours away. However, the staff makes me feel comfortable about the services that are being provided. I especially enjoy the Zoom conference calls and I’m very very happy that this is an option provided on the VAHS website. It would be nice if the rooms had phone service (available immediately), without having to work with Verizon to establish an account. My mom seems to be very happy and her therapy is progressing nicely. She does wish, however, there were more television stations to choose from. She has never complained about her meals. I would like to fill out another review at the end of her stay. At this time, she is currently residing there until healed.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Newport News, 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.
