Overview of Dunlop House Assisted Living & Memory Care

Dunlop House Assisted Living & Memory Care offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Colonial Heights, VA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, while respite care gives a resident a short stay when their usual caregiver needs time away.

The combination of assisted living and memory care may suit a resident whose needs could change over time, and respite care can help a family caregiver who needs support for a limited period. Dunlop House has 134 beds, with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences available. A studio offers one private space, while a two bedroom residence can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion.

A Walk Score of 34 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk. Off site transportation support is available for residents who need help arranging transportation beyond the community. Chef prepared meals are served in the community dining room, and barber and beauty services are available within the community for personal care appointments. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet when moving in. Christopher Seyler serves as the administrator.

Overview of Signature Healthcare of Norfolk

Signature Healthcare of Norfolk is a 169-bed nursing home in Norfolk’s Ghent neighborhood, offering skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, palliative care and respite care. Its size means more residents, more staff and more programming.

Licensed nursing care is available around the clock for residents with ongoing medical needs.

Medicare can cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help eligible residents whose savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay uses personal funds for care. The surrounding area has a Walk Score of 88 out of 100, meaning most errands can be completed on foot, so residents who no longer drive can still reach shops, a pharmacy or cafes independently.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover memory care?

Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 304 memory care communities in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
