- Ten CMS certified nursing homes, three dialysis facilities, two ambulatory surgical centers, and one inpatient rehabilitation facility add options to the care review.
What to think about
- The nearest HRSA adult primary care likely site is 11.8 miles away, which makes regular primary care distance important.

Before choosing Williamsburg care from a directory count
Confirm the care relationship
Ask about clinician fit, insurance network, appointment timing, referrals, medication supply, and the support needed for a typical visit.
Map the primary care route
Trace the home to the nearest HRSA site, Sentara, the nearest Medicare emergency hospital, parking, entrances, and the route home in heat, storms, or freezing weather.
Review the specialty rows
Use the listed counts for cardiology, endocrinology, geriatric medicine, oncology, nephrology, neurology, ophthalmology, pulmonary disease, and rheumatology as questions to verify directly.
Plan pharmacy and support access
Check the nearest pharmacy, hours, coverage, supply, home health, hospice, dialysis, rehabilitation, and the person who can help when a care day takes more energy.
