Sunrise Villa Tuckahoe sits at 12401 Gayton Road in Richmond, VA, on a ten-acre property with walking trails, bright indoor spaces, charming gazebos, and quiet courtyards, and the building's got room for up to 250 residents, so there's always someone around but it never feels crowded, plus the community welcomes both dogs and cats, which means folks' pets can live with them, and they even have special pet-focused programs. The place offers assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, short-term respite stays, and hospice care, with private and semi-private rooms in different layouts, from cozy studios to bigger one- and two-bedroom setups with full tubs, private bathrooms, and even some spaces for those who want a bit more independence or community. Staff-including nurses on site and a doctor on call-help with daily tasks like bathing, grooming, toileting, and medication, and there's support for folks who use wheelchairs or need help moving, with the staff available round the clock for safety and peace of mind, especially for people who wander or show complex behaviors, since the memory care building's secure and bracelets help track anyone who might try to leave.
Meals come with restaurant-style dining and there's plenty of choices for special diets, like low-salt, low-sugar, and vegan, and families can visit in private dining rooms, plus there's a beautician, on- and offsite religious services, a gym, activity rooms, a kitchen, a game room, and a library for quiet reading. The community's activity calendar is packed and a full-time director organizes everything from arts and crafts, gardening, cooking classes, educational talks, trivia and karaoke, to more unique things like Wii Bowling, wine tasting, Tai Chi, yoga, and live well classes-there's even brain fitness and intergenerational programs, plus regular outings for a change of scenery. People can choose to age in place so they don't have to move if their health needs change, and individualized behavioral care covers people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, using programs like Reminiscence and Terrace Club designed to reduce confusion and encourage engagement. Laundry, hygiene, and room services are handled by attentive staff, pets can stick around, but nobody can smoke inside. The community backs up an active lifestyle with personalized health programs and lets folks live on their own terms, with respect for their wishes. Sunrise Villa Tuckahoe holds a 4.0-star customer rating from about 70 people and has Ms. Mindy Powell as the Senior Executive Director, which says something about how the place runs, and more information is always available on their website at www.sunriseseniorliving.com.
