Plenty of families arrive at Lakeside ALF Operations needing two things answered at once: a parent’s memory is failing and their medical needs have outgrown what a household can manage. The Henrico, Virginia, community handles both, pairing supervised memory care with skilled nursing available around the clock.
Hospice care supports residents receiving end-of-life care. Short-term rehabilitation covers the other end, a temporary stay for someone rebuilding after a hospital admission.
Seventeen residents live in a 70-bed building, which means staff attention is not being rationed. Nursing time comes to 3 hours and 2 minutes per resident daily.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay all work here, depending on coverage or a direct payment arrangement. A salon, library, patio, recreation area, and transportation services round out what residents can reach.
At 34 out of 100, the walk score marks the area car-dependent, so errands mean a driver rather than a stroll. Nyema Jackson serves as the administrator.
