Yes, residents can age in place. The Hidenwood offers four senior living options on one Newport News campus:
- Independent living for active adults 55 and older who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with chef-prepared dining, housekeeping, and scheduled transportation
- Assisted living with personalized help for daily activities and medication management
- Inspiritás memory care for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, in secure, home-like neighborhoods
- Respite care for short-term stays in a fully furnished apartment, such as after surgery or when a family caregiver needs a break
As needs change, residents can receive more support while staying close to the friends, team members, and routines they already know.
Yes. Assisted living residents have 24/7 licensed nursing available, along with personalized care plans for bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication management.
Before moving into assisted living or memory care, our clinical team completes an assessment to recommend the right level of care, and care plans are updated as needs change.
Emergency call systems, accessible layouts, ground-floor apartments, on-site generators, and secure memory care neighborhoods add peace of mind for residents and families.
No. The Hidenwood is a retirement community, not a nursing home. Nursing homes typically provide ongoing skilled medical care, while The Hidenwood offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care in a warm, home-like setting that encourages independence.
Residents live in their own private apartments with personalized support. If your loved one needs a level of care we don’t provide, our team is glad to help you find the right resources.
The cost of senior living at The Hidenwood depends on the apartment you choose and the level of care needed, as determined by our clinical team for assisted living and memory care.
Medicare generally does not cover independent living, assisted living, or memory care in a residential community, so most families pay privately, and some use long-term care insurance.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Mom has adjusted remarkably well to her move to The Hidenwood! Initially, she
was very worried about leaving her home, but we recognized that she needed the
additional support and care. The Hidenwood came highly recommended, and I can
see why after Mom has been a resident for just over a month. The attention to detail
demonstrated by the team, from the director down, is commendable. We are very
pleased with our decision to move Mom into The Hidenwood.”
B.B., The Hidenwood Family Member

welcoming community with excellent amenities and a dedicated staff who ensure

needs and brings me joy – I couldn’t ask for a better place to call home!”
