NEWPORT NEWS — The area’s first dementia care residence for older adults opened here last month, according to a news release from Virginia Creative Group.
The Virginia House is an assisted living facility based out of a home that provides services ranging from assistance with daily tasks to hospice management, according to the website.
Residents can also expect private bedrooms and bathrooms, a 24-hour staff and home-cooked meals, according to the website.
The founder, Lisa Machamer, was inspired to start The Virginia House when she was searching for an assisted-living facility for her mother.
“I believe that there is a better way for our aging population than being just a number in a large facility,” Machamer said. “Our goal at The Virginia House is to place quality over quantity allowing our residents to age with dignity and grace with their needs always being placed first.”
The Virginia House is located on 107 Lolas Drive. It cares for three residents at a time, according to the VCG news release.
