The Huntington Assisted Living
The Huntington Assisted Living provides assisted living and respite care in Newport News, VA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident maintains a private living space. Respite care provides a short-term stay when a usual caregiver is traveling, recovering, or temporarily unavailable, making the community a possible fit for residents who need daily support or families arranging temporary care.
The community has 52 beds and offers studio and one-bedroom residences. A studio suits someone who prefers a single-room setting, while a one-bedroom provides a separate bedroom. Pets are allowed, including when a resident moves in. With a Walk Score of 55, some errands can be completed on foot, and a resident who no longer drives may reach select nearby destinations independently. Stephen Berczek serves as the administrator.
