Chesapeake Health & Rehabilitation Center

Chesapeake Health & Rehabilitation Center sits at 688 Kingsborough Square in Chesapeake, Virginia, and serves as a for-profit skilled nursing facility with 180 certified beds, offering both short-term and long-term care. Administrator Irvin Land oversees the daily operations, with a full-time equivalent staff of about 143, including physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, therapists, culinary staff, and a dietitian who all work together, not as outside contractors, to help residents recover and manage their health. Recovery care services like the LifeWorks Rehab® program, the Recovery Map™, and Personal Report Card™ exist for folks coming in after surgeries, accidents, strokes, heart attacks, and other illnesses, using a combination of skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech language therapy-sometimes up to seven days a week in a therapy gym filled with modern equipment and technology for strength training and mobility. Residents can choose either private or shared rooms, all of which have bathrooms with accessible showers or tubs and round-the-clock help for meals, cleaning, and other needs. The dining room works restaurant-style, and staff prepare meals to match personal tastes and required diets, though the center's history includes failures to always meet certain nutritional or pain management needs. Amenities include person-centered daily activities led by an onsite Activities Coordinator, and the center says it aims for residents to feel comfortable, supported, and heard, but past health inspections have found issues with infection control, resident safety, COVID-19 protocols, abuse, neglect, and dietary needs; Chesapeake Health & Rehabilitation Center has faced violations, incurred fines, and holds a one-star rating from health inspectors. The center stays open every day, with visitation guidelines that change for COVID-19, including mask requirements, hygiene practices, and vaccination opportunities for visitors, along with posted instructions to help keep people safe. Managed by Medical Facilities of America, the center tracks patient care statistics, bed use, and financial data for efficiency and monitoring, and publishes rates for both private and semi-private rooms. The center has been involved in legal actions about nursing home abuse, neglect, and injuries, including cases linked to the MSW Law Group, and has received documented findings by Medicare on COVID-19 safety procedures and infection control. The website holds more about services and daily life, but overall, this center provides a mix of rehabilitation, nursing, and long-term care in an environment with both modern therapy resources and a history of inspection problems.
