Assisted Living, Memory Care & Nursing Care · Virginia Beach, VA

Overview of Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Founded in 1939 by the Dominican Sisters as a home for those with incurable cancer, Our Lady of Perpetual Help carries a specific identity that still shapes its care model today. The 95-bed nursing home, assisted living, and memory care community at 4560 Princess Anne Rd in Virginia Beach is not a generalist senior living facility. It is oriented toward serious medical need.

The clinical scope reflects that. Confirmed services include tracheostomy care, palliative medical care, therapeutic recreation, and social services, alongside a Special Care Unit for memory care residents. Laundry, barber services, and Wi-Fi are available. One- and two-bedroom floor plans give residents more space than a typical nursing home configuration. Sentara Princess Anne Hospital is about 3 miles away. The neighborhood is somewhat walkable (Walk Score 49), though most trips require a car; the facility sits 12 miles from Virginia Beach’s city center.

Current occupancy is 83%, with 79 of 95 beds occupied. Nurse aides contribute 2 hours and 29 minutes of care per resident per day; registered nurses account for 46 minutes. Terri Anderson, RN, LNHA, has led administration since 2004. State inspections have tended to focus on medication management, fire safety, staffing credentials, and care planning.

What the data and the history together describe is a faith-rooted facility that has centered complex and end-of-life care for more than 85 years. Families navigating serious illness, palliative needs, or memory care in Virginia Beach will find a care model here that was built specifically for that population.
