94 Residential Care Homes near Essex County, VA

Last Updated: 2/21/25

Residential care homes in Essex County may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Essex County care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Essex County, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.


You may also consider nearby communities such as Henrico, Charles or Richmond.

Yama Services Adult Assisted Living in Mechanicsville, VA
4.8

Yama house was a godsend for our family. The entire staff were truly partners in my mom's care. They were accessible and accommodating through every stage of my mom's journey. She had terrible wounds from a surgery and the improvement I saw in them during her time there was nothing short of miraculous. [Name removed] was skilled and meticulous in caring for them. They were so kind to my mom as well as to me as I was navigating her care. They catered to her requests in a way that was heartwarming to me. They were always welcoming to me and to my Mom's visitors. In the beginning my mom had a busy schedule of OT, PT and speech therapy. They worked with her therapists and always had her ready for therapy. The visiting therapists remarked that the staff was kind, competent and easy to work with. As she declined they assisted me in making hospice arrangements and worked seamlessly with the hospice provider to provide the best possible care and make her as comfortable as possible.

Discover the many ways to pay for senior living

Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.

What are care homes?

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:

  • Help with personal care
  • Medication management
  • Mobility assistance
  • Nutritious meals
  • Social activities and outings
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
