About Best Senior Homes

Best Senior Homes is a residential care community in Chesapeake, Virginia offering assisted living and memory care services. The community is licensed as a home care agency and operates multiple homes designed to feel like private residences rather than institutional facilities, with a focus on personalized attention and comfort.

The community provides all-inclusive residential care including help with activities of daily living, personal care, medication management, housekeeping, and transportation to appointments. A key feature is the caregiver-to-resident ratio of 1 to 4, which the community notes is superior to the typical 1:12 ratio found in larger senior communities. Staff are available 24/7, and the community maintains relationships with area physical therapy, occupational therapy, hospice, and home health providers to coordinate specialized services as needed. An onsite PT/OT room is available for residents requiring rehabilitation.

Best Senior Homes offers specialized memory care services for seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory-related conditions, with trained staff providing individualized care in a safe and stimulating environment. The community also provides respite care for seniors needing temporary care or recovery after a hospital stay.

Amenities and programs include engaging daily activities, fitness classes, creative workshops, social events, and off-site excursions to local dining, shopping, and attractions. Chef-inspired meals are served in an on-site dining room with personalized menus that account for residents' dietary preferences, nutritional needs, and medical conditions including diabetes, heart disease, and food allergies.

The homes feature beautifully appointed private bedrooms with high-end finishes, integrated caregiver call systems, thoughtfully designed common areas encouraging connection, and a low-stimulation atmosphere. The community serves seniors from the surrounding areas including Hampton, Norfolk, and Portsmouth.

My step grandfather has lived at Best Senior Homes (The Lynnhaven) for the past 4 months. I am so pleased with his care. He genuinely enjoys living there and is treated like family by the staff. His quality of life has greatly improved since his arrival, as has his mental health and over all mood. He had been to several other facilities before finally landing here. It was definitely worth the wait. Amanda and Loraine made his transition as smooth as possible, and now that he is settled in, he wishes to remain there. I have experienced a huge relief knowing that he is comfortable, content and well cared for.

My father spent his final weeks at the Chesapeake location, and I am forever grateful for the personal loving care and attention he received. He was treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Fresh food, customized and made to order was always fantastic - he enjoyed every bite. The flat price is very fair and convenient, especially when you start looking at all the add-ons available at other places, and they were not even able to truly cater to his increasing care needs. Everything felt like home, his room and facility was always clean, comfortable, and inviting, and the small resident-to-staff ratio really put our mind at ease as we knew my father was getting his needs of care as well as conpabionship met. All of the staff was absolutely wonderful, and they not only met my father’s needs but were also a source of great comfort and familiarity to my family - we felt like one big family at the end.<br>Thank you, I would (and have), without any hesitation, emphatically recommend Best Senior Homes for anyone looking for assistance and elder-care.

My mom lived at Best Senior Homes for the last six months of her life, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the care she received there. From the moment she moved in, the staff treated her with kindness, dignity, and genuine compassion. It gave our family so much peace of mind knowing she was surrounded by people who truly cared about her well-being.<br>The home itself always felt warm, clean, and welcoming, but what made the biggest difference was the staff. They were attentive, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure my mom was comfortable. They kept us informed, supported us during difficult moments, and treated our family like part of their own.<br>During such an emotional time, having a place like Best Senior Homes made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful that my mom was able to spend her final months in a place where she was cared for with so much love and respect. I would highly recommend Best Senior Homes to any family looking for a safe, compassionate, and supportive long-term care home for their loved one.

In the last month of my father’s life the staff and owner at Best Choice Senior Homes really made a huge impact on both his and my life. Every single person who worked there went out of their way to help and to be there for us while he passed. He passed a month ago and I still hear from them.<br><br>They truly care and helped me to navigate moving, medications, hospice (both a bad company and a good company) and getting my dad everything he needed.<br><br>The situation my dad was living in was not going well for him and when Best Senior Homes heard about that, they went out of their way to move him the very next day. When I say go out of their way, I mean it: The owner moved my father with his own truck, repairing the room where he was and donating the extra items. He even hung up all my dad’s achievements on the wall her was facing so he could see them. Everything was done with care. And really helped us when I was already overwhelmed. Without them, I have no idea how I would have managed surviving through this.<br><br>You can’t choose a better place to move your loved one.
