The Convalescent Center at Patriots Colony sits on a 90-acre campus in Williamsburg, Virginia, with green spaces, tall trees, and wide walking paths where you'll see residents strolling or taking in fresh air, and folks tend to notice the peace and quiet that comes from being tucked back in a private community. The center offers a range of living options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, continuing care retirement community services, and short-term rehabilitation, so folks can age in place if their care needs change, and with a skilled nursing component, families know there's licensed practical nurses and nurses on hand for things like medication delivery or help if someone presses a call button.
You'll find the place is run as a non-profit and it's accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and it's also part of Riverside Lifelong Health and Rehabilitation communities, with an affiliation with Riverside Health System, and most of the health expenses can be covered with Medicare. There's a Martha W Goodson Center inside that has workshops, research programs, clinical services, and guides for families and residents, especially for those living with memory loss, while the care team builds patient-centered plans to fit each person's needs, whether someone needs daily medication, help with a fracture recovery, or support for advanced dementia.
They've got housekeeping, laundry, dining with a professional chef for special diets, move-in help, and quiet rooms with private bathrooms, cable TV, telephone lines, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. Community spots include a library, spa or sauna, movie theater, fitness room, wellness and fitness centers, business room, activity and game rooms, an arts room, and gardens, with clubs for people who want to try bocce ball or woodworking. There's daily scheduled events, music and art programs, movie nights for anyone who wants to join, and easy transportation plus parking, so it's convenient for visitors and medical appointments. They offer outpatient physical therapy too.
A branch of Chesapeake Bank is right there on the campus, with a Safe Deposit Boxes service, and residents or guests can visit Cyndi T. Moore, the branch manager, for help Monday to Friday during limited hours or by appointment, along with wealth management services from Chesapeake. The Convalescent Center also connects folks with a resource directory of community programs, education articles, local events, legal, financial, housing and caregiver info, and offers veterans and disability resources through websites like VirginiaNavigator and SeniorNavigator.
The staff focus on making everyone feel welcome and part of the community, so you don't see people isolated or left behind, and with 24-hour supervision, medication management, and therapy after injury or illness, residents get the physical, social, and emotional support they need. Some beds in the nursing part of the facility are certified and available to those who need that level of care, and aging in place is encouraged, though a buy-in fee is required. Residents say the environment is comfortable, the grounds are pretty, and there's a wide variety of programs and services to help support living well at any stage.
