If you need to be seen for Physical Therapy, this is the place!! I have been treated by 4 different Physical Therapist over the years and for different issues; I love all of them. Their knowledge, compassion, kindness and professionalism is top notch. And if you have Tri-Care they accept it here!!

I would like to thank the entire Virginia Health Home Care Group for the wonderful care and attention given to my husband Ted. Each and every person who came to our house was professional, efficient and caring. Wallace, Debra, Crystal, Tori, Wanda, Cathy, Colleen, Emily, and Sheetal. Each team member executed a plan of action to reach a goal in their particular field to have my back and even better than before. Their expertise also resulted in a much-needed attitude adjustment. I am so grateful to this group and would recommend their Services to our Friends and Community. Thank you all so much.

My Dad recently stayed at The Huntington for a respite stay after his rehab stay at The Newport. The staff at The Huntington were great. They were so caring and compassionate. The NP was always available to see him for his medical issues. Even though we wanted Dad to be able to return home, knowing he was safe and had help available at any time of the day or night gave my sisters and I peace of mind.

What a warm, friendly place to live. Staff goes above and beyond over & over to insure every residence is happy & healthy. So great to have physical therapy on the premises. We walk over to Brickhouse Tavern for a tasty pizza & cold adult beverage. We just couldn't have made a better choice. Our meals are chief quality. We so enjoy walking around the square.

I wanted to express my love and gratitude to The Newport Staff. I appreciate the care that the therapy, nursing, and administrative staff has given to me. They have all given me exceptional care. Thank you for your patience, love and most of all respect. Thank you, Lindsay, for communicating all necessary information to me on a daily basis. I deeply appreciate all the time you have spent helping me. Sending Jamel love and hugs for encouraging me, keeping my spirits lifted, and helping me participate in the daily activities with the Newport staff. I would without a doubt recommend the Newport for anyone needing care. To the entire staff, thank you for everything!
