Covenant Woods operates as a not-for-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community within the Hospitals and Health Care industry, headquartered in Mechanicsville, VA. Serving seniors in the Richmond area for over 140 years, the organization manages a 96-acre campus in Hanover County. As a Life Plan Community, it offers a range of residential options including independent living apartments and cottages, assisted living, memory support, and health care residences.

Governed by a volunteer Board, Covenant Woods functions as a 501(c)(3) corporation rooted in the Methodist and Presbyterian vision established in 1883.
