What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Apr 30, 2026 · F-0607 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not develop and follow policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. These written safeguards are the foundation of resident protection.
Why it matters: Without working prevention policies, mistreatment is more likely to happen and less likely to be caught.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.
| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Apr 30, 2026 | ▲ J · Immediate jeopardy, one-off | The facility did not develop and follow policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. These written safeguards are the foundation of resident protection. · from a complaint |
| Apr 30, 2026 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft to the proper authorities quickly enough, or did not report the results of its investigation. · from a complaint |
| Apr 30, 2026 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not respond appropriately to alleged violations, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Facilities must investigate every allegation and protect residents while they do. · from a complaint |
| Mar 17, 2022 | F · Potential for harm, facility-wide | The facility did not dispose of garbage and refuse properly. |
| Mar 17, 2022 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility transferred or discharged a resident without a valid reason, or failed to provide the required documentation and information when moving a resident out. |
| Mar 17, 2022 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not give residents (and their representatives and the ombudsman, a state advocate for residents) proper advance notice before a transfer or discharge, including information about their right to appeal. |
| Mar 17, 2022 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not give the resident or their representative written notice of how long it would hold the resident's bed during a hospital stay or approved leave. |
| Mar 17, 2022 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines. |

| Mar 17, 2022 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it. |

| Mar 17, 2022 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft to the proper authorities quickly enough, or did not report the results of its investigation. |
| Mar 17, 2022 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not respond appropriately to alleged violations, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Facilities must investigate every allegation and protect residents while they do. |

| Mar 17, 2022 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide proper care for pressure ulcers (bedsores) or did not do enough to prevent new ones from forming. Bedsores develop when residents stay in one position too long without help moving. |

| Mar 17, 2022 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide safe, appropriate care for residents who need dialysis — the treatment that filters the blood when kidneys fail. |
| Mar 17, 2022 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide. |

| Nov 8, 2018 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not provide the right treatment and services for residents with dementia or signs of dementia. Dementia care requires specific approaches, training, and patience. |

| Nov 8, 2018 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft to the proper authorities quickly enough, or did not report the results of its investigation. |
| Nov 8, 2018 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not develop a resident's complete plan of care within 7 days of the full assessment, or the plan wasn't prepared, reviewed, and updated by a team of health professionals as required. |

| Nov 8, 2018 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not try to gradually reduce doses of mood- and mind-altering medications or use non-drug approaches first, as required, or used 'as needed' psychiatric drugs without proper limits. |

| Aug 30, 2017 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide care in a way that maintains or improves each resident's quality of life. |
| Aug 30, 2017 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not create a complete written plan of care covering all of a resident's needs, with clear goals, deadlines, and steps whose progress can be measured. |
| Aug 30, 2017 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide the care and services each resident needed to stay as healthy and well as possible. |
| Aug 30, 2017 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not properly care for residents needing special medical services, such as injections, ostomy care (a surgically created opening for waste), breathing tube care, respiratory treatments, foot care, or artificial limbs. |

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Virginia avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.70 | 3.67 | 3.95 | top 29% in Virginia; bottom 47% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.59 | 0.66 | 0.69 | top 37% in Virginia; top 49% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.31 | 3.21 | 3.50 | top 28% in Virginia; bottom 48% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.38 | 0.46 | 0.48 | top 38% in Virginia; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 44.7 | 48.1 | 45.8 | top 39% in Virginia; top 49% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 47.8 | 48.2 | 42.9 | top 49% in Virginia; bottom 39% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.72, RN 0.60, weekend 3.32. Staffing rating: 3/5.
