Chesterbrook Residences

Overview of Chesterbrook Residences

Chesterbrook Residences is an assisted living community managed by Brenda Riggs in Falls Church, Virginia. With a 109-bed capacity, the community is among the most competitive senior care landscapes in the state. Along with a residential and community-centered atmosphere, life enrichment programming, organized social events, and various volunteer opportunities are also provided for older adults.

With 88 of 109 beds occupied, the community’s occupancy rate is around 81%, which is close to the Virginia state average of 85.7%. This level of residency suggests consistent demand while still allowing for moderate availability. The community also offers a larger setting that fosters social interaction while remaining conveniently close to their families in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

The community has undergone seven total inspections, with 71.4% resulting in violations, which is slightly higher than the Virginia average of 64.3%. However, the total deficiency count of 13 is significantly lower than the state average of 32. The most recent inspection in August 2025 also identified concerns related to building maintenance, including ventilation issues and mold in some resident rooms. Additionally, a substantiated complaint during that same window addressed pest-related issues and administrative posting requirements. Previous inspections have also cited areas for improvement in medication management and staff training. However, there are no records of fines, license enforcement, or immediate jeopardy findings.

Care services include 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and CNAs on-site to provide nursing support, while highlighting a dedicated life enrichment calendar and special events. Although specific amenity details are limited, it is suggested that floor plans, galleries, and events are provided to enhance the resident experience.

Chesterbrook Residences is well-suited for active older adults in Northern Virginia, prioritizing social programming and proximity to family in a mid-sized environment. While the community has a lower-than-average deficiency count, families are encouraged to ask about the specific remediation steps taken to address building maintenance following recent state reports.
