Overview of Chesapeake Place

Chesapeake Place offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Chesapeake, VA. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having several care types in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another care level does not require leaving the community. Chesapeake Place has 153 beds, and Ingrid Wilson-Brown serves as the administrator.

Residents can use salon services, physical therapy, and rehabilitation services on site, so salon visits and therapy do not need to be arranged at separate locations. Meals prepared by a chef are served in the dining room, with activities such as happy hour, paint and sip events, family night, and live entertainment.

Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet to the community. Outdoor patios, sitting areas, a garden, and common areas give residents places to spend time outside their private living spaces.

The community has 152 beds.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Virginia

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Virginia?

Assisted living in Virginia supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Virginia?

Assisted living in Virginia is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover assisted living?

Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Virginia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 345 assisted living facilities in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Virginia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Virginia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Virginia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
