Overview of Marian Manor Retirement

Marian Manor Retirement occupies a mid-rise building on Marian Lane in the Northwest neighborhood of Virginia Beach, about 11.4 miles from the city center. The 145-bed community offers private rooms across three care types: assisted living, independent living, and respite care. Executive Director Ms. Karen Land leads the facility.

The neighborhood scores a 51 on the Walk Score scale, landing in the moderately walkable range; some trips on foot are practical, but a car handles most of what residents and visitors need. Transportation services are available on-site for those without their own vehicle.

Beyond transportation, the building includes fitness and recreation facilities, and a Life Enrichment program is part of the scheduled care structure. State inspections have generally focused on medication management, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention as recurring areas of attention.

Marian Manor is a private-room community at a mid-size scale in Virginia Beach, covering the range from independent to assisted living and short-term respite stays, with on-site transportation and fitness amenities rounding out what the building offers day to day.

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 344 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.
