Aviva Pembroke: Finding new ways to provide more care, to more seniors, over more years

As several major construction phases are wrapping up, much excitement is in the air regarding the completion of Aviva Pembroke. With an anticipated opening date of early October, prospective residents and neighbors within the Pembroke area are preparing for the long-anticipated addition to the community and local skyline.

On March 23 and 24, Beth Sholom Village staff facilitated hard hat tours for deposit holders so they could get a sneak preview at where they have been patiently waiting to spend their golden years. Maureen Hook, a future resident, indicated that what appealed to her and her husband Andrew, was the “urban location, the size and personalized feel of the community, and most significantly, the reputation of service and care” after having her in-laws as residents of the former Beth Sholom Village at College Park.

After the first round of tours, David Abraham, president & CEO of Beth Sholom Village, said, “we are truly pleased with the level of participation and investment from our future residents. It is our great pleasure to embark on this opportunity, to provide more care, to more seniors, over more years, and in different ways, through our partnership with Pembroke Square Associates.

Upcoming tours are tentatively being scheduled for most Thursdays and Fridays beginning in mid-June.

A crowd of community members and leaders, including principal project partners and future residents, gathered on Friday, March 22 to celebrate another significant milestone towards the completion of the newest Virginia Beach senior living community, Aviva Pembroke.

The level of diverse support at the ceremony emphasizes the positive response from the region to address senior housing needs. It also demonstrates how Beth Sholom Village and Pembroke Square Associates are rising to meet the overwhelming demand for such hybrid care options, including assisted and independent living with modern amenities.

By 2030, it is estimated that most of Tidewater’s population will be over the age of 65. With these shifting community needs in mind, Beth Sholom Village and Aviva Pembroke will continue to provide top tier care for the wellbeing of all seniors. Once open, Aviva residents will enjoy a thriving urban lifestyle filled with social, cultural, and life enriching opportunities while receiving the personal care and support on which Beth Sholom has built its reputation.

“This movement towards modernization and refinement of senior living would not have been possible without the thoughtfulness and support of all involved.”

Ballard Construction Company, and a vast network of stakeholders.

“This movement towards modernization and refinement of senior living would not have been possible without the thoughtfulness and support of all involved, and it is one of many steps within our community towards addressing the housing needs of Hampton Roads,” said Abraham.

Following the remarks, the group participated in the signing of the final structural beam, acknowledging the community members’ support in making the vision a reality, and symbolically bestowing good fortune and health upon all involved. Through this ceremonial act, Abraham reiterated the shared sentiment that “to all who played a role, we are thrilled to be a part of this.”
