As a Life Plan Community, it provides multiple care levels, so a resident whose needs grow can move between them without leaving the community or starting over socially.

Respite care is a short stay. Vinson Hall may be a good fit for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Overview of Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay

At 49 years old and with 120 beds, Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay is one of the more established continuing care communities on Virginia Beach’s waterfront. The address, 3100 Shore Dr, puts it along the Chesapeake Bay in a somewhat walkable area (Walk Score 47) where a car is generally still needed. Ms. Julia Fretwell administers the facility; Mr. Ben Unkle is President and CEO. CARF accreditation is on the record.

Medicare drives 77% of new admissions, with a typical stay of 19 days. The overall average length of stay is 74 days. Those two figures together describe a facility that functions, in practical terms, as a short-stay rehabilitation hub. Occupancy sits at 58%, meaning 69 of 120 beds are currently in use.

The clinical staffing is substantial: total nursing hours run 6 hours 34 minutes per resident per day, with RN coverage at 55 minutes daily. Rehabilitation services are the stated clinical offering, built around a named program suite: Early Advantage, Make A Move, Pre-hab, At Home Services, the Birdsong Clinic, and Catering and Private Events. An Active Resident Council operates on-site.

State inspections have tended to center on emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, and care planning and documentation rather than direct resident care concerns.

Westminster-Canterbury accepts Medicare and private pay. The full spectrum of care types on the license, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home care, means the campus can theoretically accommodate a range of needs. It is a high-staffed, program-rich post-acute rehabilitation facility drawing predominantly short-stay Medicare patients, set inside a long-standing waterfront institution that has operated on this stretch of Shore Drive for nearly five decades.

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.
