What makes Petersburg different from the rest of the Richmond area for senior care?
Petersburg is the center of the Tri-Cities and of the Crater District, so its residents work with a different Area Agency on Aging and ombudsman than Richmond does, and the city holds a medical cluster around Bon Secours Southside Regional Medical Center and the Encompass Health rehabilitation hospital on Medical Park Boulevard.
Families here often compare a Petersburg home with options in Colonial Heights, Chester or Midlothian. If a parent receives an Auxiliary Grant, the payment amount is the same across the region, so the real differences are the facility's acceptance of AG residents, its inspection record and how far visitors drive.
Who handles Adult Protective Services and benefits for Petersburg residents?
The Petersburg Department of Social Services takes Medicaid and Auxiliary Grant applications and investigates Adult Protective Services reports for city residents, while the Crater District Area Agency on Aging on Seyler Drive provides aging services and the local ombudsman.
The Crater District's Senior Helpline is a good first call when you are not sure which program fits; staff can point you to meals, caregiver support or insurance counseling before you get to the question of a facility.
