Petersburg Home for Ladies

Petersburg Home for Ladies is an engaging assisted living community in Petersburg, Virginia. It is within colorful Petersburg City County which is part of the Old Dominion State.

Petersburg Home for Ladies is committed to its unchanging purpose to satisfy the human need for security, companionship, care and love, and be an agent of blessing to all whom it touches.

With the lowest ratio of residents to staff in central Virginia, we offer elegant living with exceptional care that is unparalleled in our region. A licensed nurse is available 24 hours a day to serve residents who may need assistance or who experience an emergency and our certified nursing aides are eager to provide an extra measure of pampering that each of our ladies deserve! In Magnolia Hall, our specialized memory care unit, our caregiving measures are further enhanced by a ratio of no less than one licensed caregiving staff to four ladies.

Our caregiving team works in partnership with a facility physician, visiting podiatrist, multiple therapy companies and innumerable equipment and supply vendors who will also visit to perform routine maintenance or make repairs on their equipment. Local pharmacies are available to deliver medications and supplies to our residents.

If a resident becomes ill, the on-duty nurse will perform an assessment and, when necessary, gets in touch with her personal physician or a family member. In an emergency, the Rescue Squad will be called. We have a special arrangement whereby the local rescue squad will transport our residents to Southside Regional Medical Center, or John Randolph Medical Center, Emergency Rooms without an emergency transport fee.

The Home’s Administrator and Assistant Administrator oversee daily operations. Our Director of Nursing supervises the nursing department. Licensed practical nurses assess resident medical needs and administer medication to ladies unable to medicate themselves.

Our Healthcare Coordinator works in partnership with our reception team to schedule medical appointments and works directly with physicians to make medication adjustments.

Our residents enjoy the ability to maintain their total independence throughout their stay with us, as well as the comfort that increased levels of care are available as needed.
