Bridgeforth Manor sits on 2683 Washington Avenue Ext. in Victoria, Virginia, offering a calm and quiet environment where older adults can live with dignity and care, and there's a smaller community here, which means folks get plenty of personal attention, and you really do see the same friendly faces every day. This place offers both assisted living and memory care, helping residents with all kinds of needs, like dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and simple help getting around or managing personal care, and there are five assisted living units and several senior apartments, some as studios and others as comfortable one-bedrooms, all set up with in-room emergency pull cords and things like cable and Wi-Fi. There are skilled staff and caregivers available all hours of the day and night, and they help with things like bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication, and if someone needs incontinence care, or even feeding by spoon, they handle that, too, along with working with each person's healthcare providers. The building's got wheelchair accessible features, apartments with private bathrooms, emergency buttons, and they offer regular housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, so no one has to worry about those chores.
Every resident gets a care plan that fits their needs, and folks can get help with things like transferring between places, medication management, and daily activities, plus there's support for non-ambulatory residents or those needing assistance with bathroom visits. Amenities include things like a beauty and barber shop, a games and activity room, a library, movie nights in the theatre room, and wellness programs, along with scheduled social gatherings, deck and porch sitting, and daily fitness classes. Meals are cooked on site and served in the community dining room, with special menus for folks who have diabetes, allergies, or other dietary needs, and people can also cook for themselves in a communal kitchen if that's what they enjoy. Residents can bring small pets, and everyone pitches in for gardening, outdoor walks on the paths, or just enjoying the sun. Bridgeforth Manor keeps up with interior and exterior maintenance, and there's transportation for medical appointments and other outings, along with respite care for short-term stays when caregivers need a break. Everything's included in the price, with utilities, move-in help, and on-site pharmacy support, and there's plenty of parking for families who visit. Each day brings scheduled activities, movies, cultural events, chapel services, or quiet reading in the shared spaces, and if anyone needs something, staff are always close by, ready to help with a smile or kind word, making Bridgeforth Manor a steady, welcoming place for seniors who want both a safe home and a touch of community.
