About Us

If you’ve envisioned a retirement surrounded by nature, you’ll feel at home at Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury (SVWC). The spacious 175-acre campus in Winchester, Virginia, is hidden from the hectic pace of everyday life, yet close enough to the vibrant downtown area and cultural attractions for residents to feel perfectly connected.

Residents are part of a welcoming, friendly community that offers a variety of activities to foster friendships, from table games and billiards to putting green and bocce ball court challenges. Enjoy opportunities to focus on your craft, whether it’s woodworking, gardening, watercolor painting, or writing. SVWC also encourages residents to stretch their minds by participating in book clubs and lecture series.

When the sun is shining, there is nothing like a leisurely stroll through the community’s nature preserve, surrounded by wildflowers, gardens, and the soothing sounds of the countryside. Those who want more structure in their wellness routine are welcome to visit SVWC’s top-of-the-line fitness center and warm saltwater pool.

As a Life Plan Community, SVWC offers security and peace of mind. Residents have access to a full continuum of care right on campus. That means that if the need arises for a higher level of care, private assisted living and skilled nursing residences are available, with memory care and rehabilitation services accessible. Whether you want the privacy of a cottage or the close-knit feel of an apartment, you can find your perfect forever home here. Just one exit from the Winchester Medical Center.
