Assisted Living
The little extra care you need, a lot of independence.
FREEDOM TO LIVE WELL
The Chesapeake has long been recognized for providing exceptional comprehensive senior health services. In fact, we continually receive top ratings from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). With the May 2018 ratings from CMS, The Chesapeake continued its 5-Star rating.
As a premier Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), The Chesapeake offers residents peace of mind that comes from knowing that if their needs change, they’ll have priority access to a full continuum of quality health care right here on our beautiful Newport News, VA, campus.
Our levels of care include:
1. Assisted Living
2. Memory Care
3. Skilled Nursing
In addition, our Senior Rehabilitation Therapy team of physical, occupational and speech therapists play a vital role in residents’ recovery following an illness or surgery. It’s also comforting to know that when hospitalization may be needed, three distinguished hospitals are located close by.
