Assisted Living in Virginia

Overview of Assisted Living in Virginia

Virginia has earned the nicknames “Old Dominion” and “Mother of Presidents” due to the state’s long and storied history. Founded as one of the oldest British colonies, Virginia has also been the birthplace of 8 U.S. presidents. From the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains in the west, to its scenic beaches along the Atlantic coast as well as its proximity to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Virginia truly has something for everyone and is a great place to retire. Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 250 senior living communities in Virginia that provide assisted living.

The median monthly cost of assisted living in Virginia is around $4,500.
