Sitter and Barfoot Veterans Care Center

Sitter and Barfoot Veterans Care Center stands as one of Virginia's most respected state-operated skilled nursing facilities dedicated exclusively to those who have served our country. Located at 1601 Broadrock Blvd in Richmond's southside, this facility is managed by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services and provides comprehensive skilled nursing care tailored specifically to the unique needs of veterans and their spouses. The center's location is especially significant for veteran residents and their families. The Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center, one of the region's premier veterans health campuses, sits just steps away on the same Broad Rock Boulevard corridor, ensuring seamless coordination between the two facilities for specialist appointments, diagnostics, and acute care needs. Chippenham Hospital, part of the HCA Virginia Health System, is also within a short drive, providing an additional layer of healthcare access for residents. Richmond's southside offers a welcoming environment for families visiting their loved ones. The beautiful James River Park System, including the beloved Pony Pasture Rapids and Forest Hill Park, provides peaceful green spaces just a few miles north for outdoor strolls and family gatherings. Forest Hill Avenue and the Westover Hills neighborhood offer a walkable stretch of local shops, cafes, and dining options, making visits comfortable and convenient for family members traveling from across the region. Southside Plaza and the Hull Street Road corridor provide everyday retail and dining options close by, while the wider Richmond metro connects residents' families to the city's rich history, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and Carytown's eclectic shops and restaurants. As a state-government-managed facility, Sitter and Barfoot operates with the full backing of the Commonwealth of Virginia, ensuring rigorous oversight, consistent staffing standards, and a steadfast commitment to honoring those who sacrificed for our nation. Families can take comfort knowing their veteran loved one is receiving dedicated, mission-driven care in a community that understands and respects military service.
