What should Dinwiddie County families know about the licensed homes in the county?
Dinwiddie's licensed assisted living is a short list of small, rural homes, which can suit someone who wants a quiet setting near family land, but it means fewer choices for memory care or heavier care needs, and most families also look at Petersburg.
Ask each home which level of care its license covers and whether it accepts residents who need help moving around, then match that against the person's most recent assessment. A home licensed only for residential living care cannot keep someone whose needs grow to the assisted living level.
