Independent Living

September 27, 2023

The Board of Directors of Williamsburg Landing unanimously approved an expansion project that will add 39 new independent living residences, as well as a community center that will include a state-of-the-art, 300-seat resident community theater, and studio space for artists and musicians. The expansion will be located on property adjacent to Williamsburg Landing on Marclay Road. Construction is projected to begin in November 2023, with occupancy beginning in the Fall of 2024. The name of the new neighborhood will be called Anchor Cove.

Williamsburg Landing is pleased to announce the addition of six homes in Independent Living as part of its Board-approved Master Plan expansion. The new homes will be located on the north side of Williamsburg Landing Drive, across from the Kramer Pavilion and sundial garden. 

Occupancy is anticipated by December 2019 or early 2020 once the homes are pre-sold.

We appreciate our nurses and CNAs every day, but Nurses Week is a great opportunity to take the time to celebrate. We also want to support nurses in this year’s theme of becoming healthier in mind, body, and spirit. http://www.nursingworld.org/nnw

Williamsburg Landing resident Bud Walker has been a skilled woodworker since his teenage years. He has crafted a variety of items such as toy boxes for his grandchildren, art easels, lamps, and even a dollhouse that is an exact replica of his granddaughter’s current home. His most recent project in Williamsburg Landing’s woodshop was in partnership with the Williamsburg James City County (JCC) School system and WJCC Physical Therapist, Susan Larkin.

Residents danced the night away at our James Bond 007 event on Wednesday evening. Virginia Beach band “Skylark” played live music while residents danced and enjoyed martinis and champagne. There was also a guest appearance by actor “Sean Connery” who was the first individual to play Bond in a movie.
