Which direction do New Kent County families look for assisted living?

Most New Kent families look west along Interstate 64 and Route 60 to eastern Henrico and Mechanicsville, which are closer to Quinton and Providence Forge than most Williamsburg-area options, although families on the county's east side sometimes go the other way.

Because this site covers the Richmond side only, compare drive times both ways before deciding. A facility thirty minutes away that a daughter in Short Pump can reach on her way home from work may beat a closer one nobody can visit midweek.

Is New Kent County served by the Richmond-area agencies for seniors?

Yes for aging services: New Kent is in the Senior Connections - The Span Center service area, so its Area Agency on Aging and long-term care ombudsman are Richmond-based; state licensing, however, groups New Kent with the Peninsula adult-programs office.

Medicaid, Auxiliary Grant applications and Adult Protective Services reports go through the New Kent County Department of Social Services, which also arranges the community-based LTSS screening for anyone seeking Medicaid long-term care.
