Shalom Gardens Senior Living
Shalom Gardens Senior Living is a senior care community in Richmond, Virginia, offering assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and long-term care services. Opened in late 2023, the community is a newer option in the Richmond market and is administered by Brigitta Lewis. The community has 71 licensed beds and is currently operating at approximately 44% occupancy, suggesting open availability for interested families.
For a newly established community, the community’s inspection history is relatively strong, with four inspections, which concluded with zero violations. The most recent inspection on May 12, 2025, confirmed full compliance with all applicable standards. An earlier monitoring visit in March 2024 also reported no issues, and a complaint investigation in October 2024 did not substantiate any concerns. There have been no fines, enforcement actions, or licensing issues, reflecting a consistent record of compliance since operations began.
The community’s clinical model is centered on continuous access to care, with 24-hour on-site nursing serving as a key differentiator for those who require consistent medical oversight. Services also include nursing care, skilled nursing, 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation support, respite care, and emergency response systems, while amenities include medication management, salon and personal care services, and a range of wellness programs and activities. Operating 24/7, the community supports residents with higher acuity needs who may require care at any time.
Shalom Gardens Senior Living is a practical option for older adults in Richmond seeking a higher level of care, particularly those requiring skilled nursing or continuous medical oversight alongside memory care or long-term support, in a newer community with a clean and consistent regulatory record.
