The Chesapeake

955 Harpersville Rd, Newport News, VA 23601
Overview of The Chesapeake

Virginia Baptist Homes Inc operates The Chesapeake, a 644-bed continuing care retirement community in the Newport News suburbs. The nonprofit, faith-affiliated facility provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home care in a large-scale setting. Residents are predominantly private-pay (87.5% of current census), with Medicare and Medicaid comprising 8.3 and 4.2% respectively.

Occupancy has declined from 66.2% in 2022 to 55.1% in 2023. Average stays run 140 days across all care levels.

The facility earns five-star CMS ratings in health inspection, staffing, and quality measures; each category exceeding benchmarks.

Staffing investment reflects this designation: nurses and aides deliver 5 hours 9 minutes of combined care/resident/day, ranking 19th statewide. Registered nurses provide 1 hour 6 minutes of daily coverage, 61% above state norms. The staff-to-resident ratio reaches 2.04:1, outperforming the average by 23%. Physical therapist hours at 10 minutes/resident/day, are double state averages, indicating emphasis on rehabilitation infrastructure.

The facility’s most recent inspection was January 2022. That inspection identified 23 citations from an eight-year window: no critical or serious deficiencies, 21 moderate, two minor. Resident Rights concerns comprised 35% of findings. No federal penalties have been assessed.

2023 net income was negative $1.1 million, though this represents improvement from negative $2.3 million in 2022. Annual revenue totals $29.5 million. Payroll consumes 46.9% of revenue; a reasonable level for nonprofit operations but below the typical 51–60% range.

Functional decline scores of 37.5 rank 90% worse than average.

Walking ability worsened in 56.1% of residents, 184% above the average. Unintended weight loss affected 18.0% of long-stay residents, 206% above the baseline. Falls resulting in major injury occurred in 6.6% of long-stay residents, 82% above state norms. Urinary tract infections appeared in 2.3% of residents, 51% above state incidence.

High-risk clinical events score 22.3, representing 120% worse performance than average.

Measurable strengths include depressive symptoms at 3.1% (79% better than average) and antipsychotic use at 5.2% (60% better). Influenza vaccination compliance reaches 100%.

Short-stay rehabilitation residents show zero antipsychotic medication initiations versus the average of 1.2%, and zero major-injury falls versus 0.8% statewide. Successful community return reached 58.2%, 15% above baseline. Emergency department visits ran 54% lower than state norms.

The Chesapeake presents as a highly-resourced facility optimized for post-acute rehabilitation with infrastructure that does not translate into sustained functional maintenance for long-term residents.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Virginia

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Virginia Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 40 nursing homes in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
