Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Facility Addition

Named for two Medal of Honor recipients — Colonel Van Barfoot and Colonel Carl Sitter —  the Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Center sets the gold standard in quality care for Virginia’s veterans.

This addition project consisted of a one-story, 4 wing, 31,000 square foot building seperated from the existing Sitter Barfoot Veterans Care Center by a 2-hour fire wall. The project added 40 beds and a memory garden.

A multi-wing, residential care center for veterans, this low-rise facility offers three levels of care including nursing, Alzheimer’s, and domiciliary, and provides “nursing home care similar to community based nursing homes” as part of its range of services. Featuring numerous public activity spaces, dining rooms, lounges, administrative offices, conference and training rooms, and staff and building support areas in addition to its beds, the space provides exceptional veterans care and ample opportunity for socialization.

This single-level facility features 200 single-occupancy rooms in four nursing units: two 60-bed skilled nursing care units, one 40-bed skilled nursing care unit and one 40-bed secure Alzheimer’s dementia unit with enclosed courtyards.

The facility is self-supporting with private resident rooms containing private handicap accessible baths with roll-in showers, nursing/support spaces, pharmacy, a full service commercial kitchen and dining area, barber/beauty shop, library, game room, computer room, lounges, activities rooms, physical therapy rooms, administrative offices and lobbies.
