Sentara Nursing Center Hampton sits over in Hampton, VA, tucked near Chesapeake Bay for some nice water views and those shoreline scenes that folks tend to like. The place is part of the Sentara Healthcare system and has been serving the community for over 20 years, and people tend to know it by both "Sentara Nursing Center Hampton" and "Sentara Nursing Center-Hampton." The center's got 86 certified beds, and as of June 2025, there are about 7 open if someone needs one. Sentara Nursing Center Hampton works under Saber Healthcare Group, LLC, and follows a for-profit limited liability company model. The place is meant to give skilled nursing care, offering both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for seniors who need regular medical support or help after surgery or an illness. Folks who need daily help with things like bathing, dressing, or getting around, or those who need more serious, round-the-clock nursing supervision, can find what they need here. The nursing staff offers personalized service with care plans for each resident, and therapy folks provide physical, speech, and occupational therapy right on site, including a special mobility skills area where people can practice on different surfaces, which can really help with walking and confidence.
Sentara Nursing Center Hampton does its best to make the place comfortable, so there are two courtyards with patios and a water pond, a wooded walking path, and plenty of green areas for fresh air or outdoor programs. Inside, you'll find features like a movie theater, fitness room, an arts room, library, spa and wellness space, and a game room. There's a bunch of scheduled activities, both daily and run by the residents themselves, and some programs focus on social well-being, holidays, and even cultural interests like their 'Port of Call' events, plus simple things like movie nights and music. Meals here are cooked at the center and served restaurant-style with choices made by a chef, so meals can be made for different diets, including folks needing allergy-sensitive or diabetic options. Rooms are both private and semi-private, with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, furnished spaces, air conditioning, phones, and Wi-Fi for comfort.
The place runs on a non-discrimination policy, welcoming everyone and following clinical leadership with efficiency indicators and performance rankings for quality. People use Medicare and Medicaid here, and there's a Pre-registration Program that some find useful when planning a transition from a hospital stay, letting both residents and doctors work things out ahead of time. Residents also have access to things like laundry, housecleaning, parking, and transportation, so most day-to-day needs are covered. Emergency alert systems and 24-hour call setups are in place for safety. They offer help for seniors dealing with physical or mental health conditions, and you can get medication management, along with resources and a big directory pointing to services in caregiving, financial planning, housing, legal work, transportation, and veterans' benefits, which can come in handy. Sentara Nursing Center Hampton has won a number of industry awards over the years, showing experience in care, but the focus stays on trying to tend to the physical and emotional well-being of residents as they move through short or long stays.
