Northampton Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits at 1028 Topping Lane in Hampton, with 70 licensed beds and offers both private and semi-private rooms that come already furnished, so folks moving in have a place set up, and they can always bring touches from home to help it feel more comfortable and familiar. The center provides short-term respite care for people recovering from illness, surgery, or accidents, or for families needing extra help during emergencies or vacations, and it also provides long-term care for people who need daily help with things like bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting because of health issues. The team offers skilled nursing care supervised by licensed professionals, and there's always a 24/7 nursing staff on hand, with services like in-house medication from VHS Pharmacy, access to social workers, and wound care provided by certified nurses. If someone needs more, like post-operative care, the facility supports that too, along with programs for restorative help so residents can try to keep up their daily abilities.
There's in-house rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapists working in a dedicated therapy room, plus outpatient therapy, home health care, and even hospice services through Virginia Health Services, since Northampton is a part of that group. For residents with memory loss from Alzheimer's or dementia, the center has specialized Memory Care units at Gloucester and Kilmarnock, where staff is specially trained and work with the same residents to help keep things consistent, plus secure areas for dining and relaxing. People living here have meal service three times a day, a dietary team ensuring nutrition, and a nonsmoking environment. Housekeeping, laundry (which may have a fee), and linen services are handled on-site, along with recreational activities, organized by an activities team, and opportunities like going out to the landscaped courtyards or enjoying spaces like the dining room, solarium, and patio covered with a canopy. Residents get free Wi-Fi and cable TV all over the building, and there's an on-site salon and barber for haircuts or trims when needed.
The center's unique Resident Navigator program helps new residents and families manage the move-in process, making transitions smoother. Northampton also supports people who need dialysis treatments, working with DaVita Kidney Care at nearby Dialysis Dens in Hampton and Newport News. Veterans have dedicated resources through VeteransNavigator, and there's an extensive resource library-connected with VirginiaNavigator, disAbilityNavigator, SeniorNavigator, and the Lindsay Institute-offering information about caregiving, employment, finances, legal planning, health, housing, technology, transportation, and support for veterans, all in one place. The infection preventionist on staff helps keep everyone safe, and the team offers telemedicine options too.
Northampton accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private payments, and most commercial insurances, making it flexible for many families. Room rates run $269 per day for semi-private and $296 for private rooms. There are 56.7 full-time equivalent staff as of last count, and Mr. Deshae Morse is the administrator. The center's friendly environment, attention to daily needs, and a range of supportive features make it a steady choice for people seeking nursing and rehabilitation care in a setting that values routine, safety, and simple comforts.
