Caregiver & Wellness Center

Fully funded through community support, Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital’s Caregiver and Wellness Center provides emotional support and resources free of charge to help family caregivers, community members, and professional caregivers care for themselves while caring for individuals with serious illness. 

The Caregiver and Wellness Center offers a welcoming and peaceful retreat, centrally located near the gift shop and Phillips Cancer Center, yet designed to provide a quiet space for rest and rejuvenation. Features include:

• A cozy fireplace and expansive windows that bring in natural light
• Beautiful artwork by local Virginia artists
• A business hub with free internet access and a phone charging station
• A snack station to refuel and refresh
• A private meeting space with a tranquil Virtual Nature Window for relaxation and meditation
• A quiet room equipped with a massage chair for personal retreat

As one of only 22 such programs in the United States, the Sentara Martha Jefferson Caregiver and Wellness Center serves as a national model and a leading resource within the Sentara hospital system, dedicated to supporting all caregivers—both family and professional—as they navigate the challenges of providing care while prioritizing their own well-being.
