Staffing is constant, though, with each resident getting about 3 hours and 16 minutes of care daily. That includes 28 minutes from registered nurses, 1 hour and 4 minutes from LPNs or LVNs, and 1 hour and 38 minutes from nurse aides.

They do have an active resident council, which is good; it gives people living there an actual way to speak up about policies or how things are run day-to-day. They also accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which is standard but necessary.

The thing that actually makes Norview Heights stand out is that they handle nursing home care, hospice, palliative care, and respite services all in one building. It’s honestly rare to see that entire spectrum under one roof. For families in Norfolk dealing with progressive illness or end-of-life planning, having everything integrated like this is a huge practical win.
