What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · 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.
All citations in the current public record (50)
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 4, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not make reasonable adjustments to fit each resident's individual needs and preferences — things like call buttons within reach, preferred wake-up times, or accessible room setups. · from a complaint |
| Sep 4, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility gave residents unnecessary mind-altering (psychotropic) medications, or used drugs in a way that restrained residents by dulling their ability to think, move, or function. · from a complaint |

| Feb 14, 2019 | 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. |

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) | 2.88 | 3.67 | 3.95 | bottom 16% in Virginia; bottom 10% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.68 | 0.66 | 0.69 | top 24% in Virginia; top 39% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.50 | 3.21 | 3.50 | bottom 18% in Virginia; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.59 | 0.46 | 0.48 | top 16% in Virginia; top 24% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 55.2 | 48.1 | 45.8 | bottom 33% in Virginia; bottom 25% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 50.0 | 48.2 | 42.9 | top 50% 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 3.09, RN 0.73, weekend 2.69. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
