We realize the need for seniors to experience independent living and quality of life services in a comfortable environment. That is why we offer full service, independent senior living where residents can experience living in their own suites with the freedom to do exactly as they like, while enjoying the safety and services provided by an attentive 24-hour staff. Help is always available for assistance with daily living needs, overseeing medications and local transportation to doctor visits.

Our beautiful, welcoming retirement and assisted living facilities allow residents to build friendships, find peace of mind and access any needed assistance with daily activities. They can enjoy a never-ending variety of activities, Sunday morning and evening services, Wednesday night Bible study, fine dining, on-site hair salon, as well as many other amenities with no add-on fees.

The Laurels

The Laurels is a 45-suite retirement and assisted living facility located adjacent to the majestic Jefferson National Forest, in the heart of Wise County, Virginia, and the beautiful Appalachian mountains.

It’s the ideal solution for seniors and those who value their independence, but need some help with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing and medication. We focus on individual wellness provided by a team of specially trained staff who get to know your loved one’s unique preferences. The Laurels Retirement and Assisted Living program is a home-like, resident-centered alternative to many nursing homes when a person does not require intensive 24 x 7 skilled nursing care. Each resident has their own suite to enjoy independence and yet the choice to socialize with many others if they wish.
