Mennowood Retirement Community

Located in the heart of Newport News, VA you’ll find Mennowood Retirement Community. Here our residents enjoy a variety of independent living, and assisted living homes with optional senior care.

Mennowood assisted living is an excellent choice for seniors who want independence but who need some assistance with healthcare or daily living tasks.  

With a licensed nurse on site 24 hours each day, assisted living residents and their loved ones can be confident in knowing that quality, compassionate care is always on hand. We believe in maximizing independence while lending a hand where needed.

Regularly scheduled personal care conferences ensure that each resident’s well being is continually evaluated and managed. From our Daily Life Enrichment Programs to physical, occupational, and speech therapy—all provided on site—residents receive comprehensive social opportunities and physical care.

The Mennowood Town Center, which includes an Art Studio, Country Store, Computer Center, Fitness Center, Library, Post Office, Barber/Beauty Shop, and more, is a hub of activity for all residents. Many common areas and other resources provide a plethora of social opportunities and services—all in the comfort of our community.

Our Secure Memory Care Community Supports the Whole Person. Choosing a memory care community is a very personal decision; we’d like to introduce your family to Mennowood’s memory care center and the Reflections Memory Care Program.

The Reflections Memory Care Program offers a fresh perspective on memory care. Specialized training, careful selection of caregivers, resident-focused approach are hallmarks of the Reflections program. Our goal is to enhance resident engagement, provide success based on current abilities, and to build positive relationships among residents, families, and caregivers.  

Our approach to memory care is a holistic one: a friendly face, a helping hand, and enriching memory care activities that focus on all aspects of the human spirit are found in a safe and secure neighborhood within Mennowood.

When a loved one is living with Alzheimer’s disease or other form of dementia, it can be a challenge for the entire family. We support the family members of all our residents, and we are particularly sensitive to providing emotional support to those with a loved one experiencing memory loss.

The Mennowood team of professionals is dedicated to supporting the whole person – mind, body and spirit.  And this support doesn’t stop with the resident. This is another reason that the people who live and work at Mennowood Retirement Community make it a special place.

What makes Mennowood a truly unique and wonderful place to live? It’s the people that live here and the exciting opportunities waiting around every corner.  We are proud to say that seniors from Newport News and around the area choose us because they love the pleasant atmosphere that makes each day fun.  

Sounds of singing, laughter, and friendly voices can be heard throughout the Mennowood Town Center, where activities – planned and spontaneous – take place daily. The aromas of made-to-order omelets, freshly baked lasagna, or old fashioned chicken and dumplings coming from the dining room let residents know that the next delicious meal is about to be served.

There’s always something to take part in and to look forward to, from active pursuits to just sitting on the porch sipping lemonade with friends.  Mennowood offers a senior living lifestyle full of possibilities.

Whether it’s fabulous food or inviting friends that you seek, you’ll find it all here at Mennowood.
