About Us

My name is Catherine Girsham, RN and in October 2022 my family opened an adult care home in Chesterfield, VA – Admired and Retired, LLC.  I have 35 years of nursing experience that spans from critical care to hospice. My most recent 16 years of healthcare experience have been in hospice. As a nurse, I thoroughly enjoy caring for patients to improve their quality of life through Exceptional Care, Extraordinary Compassion.

 We opened Admired and Retired, LLC because our parent had declining health, and our current home would require extensive remodeling to safely facilitate his care.  We decided to purchase and renovate a home well-suited to assist residents with mobility issues. Over 10 months, we thoughtfully designed this home with features to overcome many of the challenges we encountered with an aging parent at home.

We focused on limited mobility, the safety and process changes required to complete activities of daily living (ADLs). Admired and Retired, LLC has a wide range of upgrades that provide caregiver and resident safety, while maintaining dignity and respect for residents.  Please review our Amenities for all the details.

I utilize my nursing experience to provide individualized care for each resident.  Our home affords an astonishing resident to caregiver ratio (3:1), that is simply impossible to sustain in a commercial facility. Schedule a tour of our home to fully appreciate the attentive care we can provide for your loved one.
