Sentara Rehabilitation & Care Residence Launches New Senior Care Model


Sentara Life Care will introduce a modern concept in nursing home design with the opening of the Sentara Rehabilitation & Care Residence on its Oak Grove Road campus in Chesapeake. There’s a ribbon cutting scheduled on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at 9:00AM. 

The 120-bed center’s innovative design creates ‘households’ of 20 residents, each with its own kitchen, garden and common area. The household concept affords residents more private living space than traditional nursing home designs and more self-determination around sleeping hours, meal and medication times and activities.  The 24-hour kitchens will make meals to order any time of day. One household for residents with dementia will feature appropriate safety measures and specialized programming.

The center also includes a 40-bed short-stay pavilion for rehabilitation patients, including a bistro where families can share meals and a transition unit for re-learning activities of daily living during rehabilitation.

SFCS Architects, who specialize in senior living, designed the project and Vannoy Construction built it.
