Choosing assisted living is an important decision, and we are here to make it easier. Below are answers to questions families in Norfolk and Portsmouth, VA often ask about The Golden Girls Home, our luxury boutique assisted living communities.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living is a residential option for seniors who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication, and meals, while still enjoying independence in a supportive, home-like community.

Where are The Golden Girls Home communities located?

We are opening two assisted living communities in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Our Portsmouth, VA location, a beautifully restored 1893 home, is opening in Fall 2026, and our Norfolk, VA location is opening in Early 2027.

What services do you provide?

We provide 24-hour supervision, assistance with daily living, medication management, health monitoring, care coordination, nutritious chef-prepared meals, concierge services, mental health support, engaging activities, and emotional and social support.

How is assisted living different from a nursing home?

Assisted living focuses on helping residents with everyday tasks while preserving their independence in a home-like setting. Nursing homes provide a higher level of around-the-clock skilled medical care. Our community offers personalized assisted living care.
