Ivy Ridge Assisted Living Center sits at 590 Flank Road in Petersburg, VA, and has served seniors for a long time with a steady, hands-on approach. The building has 46 assisted living units, space for up to 113 residents in total, and welcomes both long-term and short-term stays. You'll find all sorts of units, from studio suites to shared apartments, and every room comes furnished, with wall-to-wall carpeting, cable TV, and emergency call buttons installed for safety. Staff check in around the clock, and every resident's care plan is reviewed often, so people can get the right level of help-maybe it's bathing or dressing, maybe it's medication reminders, or help with transfers or moving around, and sometimes it's all of that together.
The Vista Park section supports residents living with memory loss, including dementia or Alzheimer's, by offering secure memory care and more staff oversight. Nurses handle medication management, pain care, wound care, cardiac and stroke care, diabetes support, and regular health checks, with medical professionals like speech therapists, psychiatrists, and physical therapists on-site. Amenities span an arts room, outdoor walking paths, a sunroom where parakeets sing, gardens, a small pond with ducks, decks, and a private dining room. For folks who like reading or need some quiet, there's a small library, as well as a chapel and a beauty salon for everyday routines.
Meals are served restaurant-style in a common dining room, and cooks prepare three hot meals a day while handling diets like diabetic, low sodium, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, kosher, allergy-sensitive, and requests for no sugar. Guests can join devotional services both onsite and offsite, and staff plan different activities every day-art classes, music, karaoke, movie nights in the theater, gardening, resident-run events, educational speakers, exercise, and holiday parties, plus outings into the community for shopping or events. Wi-Fi runs throughout, and cable or satellite TV is standard. Laundry, housekeeping, and room cleaning are all handled for you, and there are washer/dryer facilities available. Staff also help with transportation for appointments or groceries, and family members can park nearby. Folks with small pets can keep them, and the move-in team helps new residents settle in. The grounds are always kept manicured and safe, and there's a focus on keeping people engaged so no one ever feels left out or alone.
There's a strong feeling of family values in how everyone works together here, with a close-knit staff looking out for residents' comfort and health, and staff check in regularly with both residents and their families. Security and emergency services are always available, with ADA-compliant bathrooms and wheelchair-accessible showers, plus fall prevention and safety systems. Ivy Ridge supports those with diabetes, heart problems, mobility issues, Parkinson's, and folks who need more help getting around. They handle everything from weigh-ins, regular doctor visits, pharmacy services, arranging prescription pickups, to even massage services, so that people can keep life simple and focus on doing what matters to them, day by day.
