When our patients require inpatient care, we refer to the skilled hospitalists at Sentara Hospitals. Our physicians see Lifeway Enhanced Care patients who are hospitalized at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital and help to coordinate their care. We do not go to other hospitals. We are on staff at Virginia Beach Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center and care for our Lifeway Enhanced Care patients who are admitted there.
