As the first freestanding inpatient hospice house in the area, this facility represents a significant step forward in providing essential end-of-life and respite care to families in need.

Located in the Redmill section of Virginia Beach, just off Upton Road, the Hospice House stands on land generously donated by the City of Virginia Beach. The house fea- tures 12 comfortable inpatient beds designed to offer compassionate care and a peaceful environment for patients and their families during one of life’s most challenging times.

The collaboration of Beth Sholom Village and Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay on this project showcases the strength and synergy of two leading senior living companies dedicated to serving the Hampton Roads community. Both organizations are committed to continuing their partnership and working together to ensure that the Hospice House remains a beacon of care and support for years to come.

As a non-profit organization, the Hospice House relies on ongoing support from the community to maintain its operations. Several fundraisers are planned to help sustain this service, including “Dink, Drink, and Dine,” a pickleball event at the Cavalier Hotel, and “Crush for Compassion,” a benefit dinner at Chick’s Oyster Bar. Both are planned for October and aim to bring the community together in support of the Hospice House’s mission.

More than just a facility, the Dozoretz Hospice House is a testament to the power of community collaboration and compassion. Contributions and participation in the fundraising events will help ensure that the Hospice House can continue to provide the highest level of care to those in need.

As the opening of Aviva Pembroke gets closer, excitement continues to build within the community. Operated by Beth Sholom Village, Aviva Pembroke plans to be open this October. The already strong demand for Aviva Pembroke underscores the appeal of its amenities, services, and commitment to fostering a vibrant and supportive community for seniors, while continuing to honor Jewish values and traditions.

One of the hallmarks of Aviva Pembroke is its commitment to fostering a dynamic and engaging lifestyle for its residents. Even prior to its official opening, the community is buzzing with activity. Resident engagement programs include initiatives such as an active book club and social gatherings to bring future residents together to create a sense of community spirit.

A topping-off ceremony with beam signing is scheduled to take place in the spring, marking another significant step towards completion. This event will mark a crucial stage in the construction process, as well as provide an opportunity to honor the generosity of donors and the dedication of individuals who have played pivotal roles in bringing the vision of Aviva Pembroke to life.

David Abraham, president and CEO of Beth Sholom Village, says, “I am thrilled to witness the remarkable progress of Aviva Pembroke’s construction, as we move one step closer to fulfilling the growing demand for senior living in Hampton Roads. This development represents our commitment to providing an environment where seniors can flourish. I eagerly anticipate the positive impact Aviva Pembroke will have on the lives of our future residents and the broader community.”
