Petersburg Home For Ladies

Petersburg Home for Ladies is an assisted living community for elderly women located in Petersburg, Virginia. Founded nearly a century ago by a group of women, it has served as a residential facility exclusively dedicated to providing care for older women in the Petersburg area and surrounding counties including Hopewell, Colonial Heights, Dinwiddie, Prince George, and Chesterfield.

As a nonprofit organization, the community's mission centers on people first, with staff committed to leading with understanding and compassion while focusing on the individual rather than simply the challenges residents may face. The team emphasizes treating every resident with dignity, respect, and kindness, recognizing that individualized care that anticipates need while emphasizing preference is central to their approach.

The community offers a variety of programs and activities designed to foster connection and celebration among residents. Recent activities have included Carnaval games, birthday celebrations, sock hops with dancing and entertainment, visits to historic places, and opportunities to embrace friendships and comraderies. The community publishes "Our Ladies' Home Journal," a seasonal publication that highlights resident life and community events.

The Petersburg Home for Ladies serves residents from Petersburg and the surrounding region, having been the preferred residential and assisted living facility for older women in these areas for more than three generations. The community emphasizes uncovering each resident's unique story and personal history as central to the caregiving experience.
