Overview of Viva Memory Care at Chesapeake

Facebook

Viva Memory Care at Chesapeake is a dedicated memory care community in Chesapeake, Virginia, offering specialized programming, certified dementia practitioners, and a clinically guided approach to care. This 73-bed community is administered by Kenya Baines and is designed specifically for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. 48 beds are currently occupied, representing approximately a 66% occupancy rate, suggesting availability for interested families.

The community has undergone 31 inspections, significantly more than the Virginia average of 14, reflecting the added oversight often associated with specialty dementia care. 71% of which resulted in cited violations, and a total of 58 deficiencies have been recorded, both above the state average of 64.3% and 32, respectively. 15 inspections were complaint-related, with some partially substantiated outcomes. Past findings also involved areas such as medication management, staffing and supervision, individualized service plans, and background check timelines. However, the most recent inspection on October 30, 2025, reported no deficiencies, indicating a recent improvement in operations. Moreover, there are no records of fines or license suspensions.

Among the services provided is the Sweet Memories™ program, an established dementia care model delivered by trained staff around the clock. Private and companion suites, farm-to-table dining, landscaped outdoor spaces, and a patio area are also provided, along with daily programming that includes activities, outings, and social engagement opportunities. Additional features include a 24-hour emergency response system and assistance with daily care needs such as toileting. Short-term respite stays are also offered.

With a focused care model, transparent pricing, and recent improvements in inspection outcomes, Viva Memory Care at Chesapeake is a specially designed community for those in moderate to advanced stages of dementia who require structured support in a secure and specialized setting in the Chesapeake and Hampton Roads area.
