Assisted Living in Chesapeake, Virginia

Chesapeake, Virginia, is a city of roughly 245,000 residents, nearly 14% of whom are aged 65 and over. The city has a comfortable climate with year-round highs ranging from 49-89 degrees, and it receives just 5 inches of annual snowfall, which may appeal to those who rely on mobility aids. With a violent crime rate that is lower than state and national averages, it may be an ideal location for seniors who are seeking a safe community for their retirement years, and the state’s retirement-friendly tax laws may leave more money in the bank to cover assisted living expenses. This historically and culturally rich city features many attractions, including Riddick’s Folly, which offers discounted admission for seniors, and Courtyard Square Park, which hosts farmers’ markets and live entertainment events.      

Assisted living provides both a social environment and professional support for seniors who often find themselves needing physical help with basic living tasks, such as cooking and bathing. The Genworth Financial 2021 Cost of Care Survey reports that the average monthly cost of assisted living in Chesapeake is $4,690, a price point that’s between the Virginia and U.S. averages.

This guide to assisted living in Chesapeake offers a comparison of its care costs with those of other Virginia cities, some notes on finding financial aid for affording such care and a list of senior support services in the area.
