Serving 37 beds in a 68-bed capacity, the community is currently operating at approximately 54% occupancy.

Regarding state oversight, the community has undergone four inspections, with only 50% resulting in violations, which is significantly better than the Virginia average of 64.3%. With a total of only 7 deficiencies compared to the state average of 32, the community has one of the strongest compliance records among similar memory care providers in the state.

The community is designed to foster cognitive health and daily interaction, while providing access to a variety of amenities, including a full-service dining program with meals prepared by a chef, an on-site salon, and specialized multi-sensory and pet therapy programs. Unique features such as Life Skills Stations and a dedicated Reflections Therapy Room are available, alongside wheelchair-accessible transportation for social events and group excursions. Licensed nurses are also available on-site during the day, and 24-hour staffing provides around-the-clock assistance, supported by emergency call bells installed throughout the property.

In addition to long-term care, respite care and hospice coordination are also provided, offering flexibility for families managing short-term needs or end-of-life care. Accommodations include laundry, housekeeping, and all utilities, while religious services are provided to support spiritual well-being. Notably, the community does not accept Medicaid, a factor families should consider during financial discussions.
