A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.

Regulatory visits tied to complaints or allegations in the state file—not the same as every routine survey.
Total count of violations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of violations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total violations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Petersburg Home for Ladies offers assisted living and memory care in Petersburg, VA’s Blandford neighborhood. The community has 54 beds and private rooms, so each resident has a single private space. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Having both assisted living and memory care can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, because different care levels are available on one community campus. Petersburg Home for Ladies may also be a good fit for someone who needs memory support in a supervised setting while retaining a private room. The area has a Walk Score of 48 and is car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk. Jessica Hancock serves as the administrator.

The license at Brighter Living Assisted Living and Memory Care in Hopewell, VA, covers assisted living, nursing care, and respite care. Assisted living handles the daily tasks. Nursing care is the step past that, for a resident whose support has become clinical.

Respite care is a stay with an end date on it, booked around a usual caregiver’s travel or recovery. A resident whose needs shift over the years has two of those levels waiting, and a family after something temporary has the third.

Rooms come as private or semi-private across 80 beds. Carrie Jackson holds the administrator post. A salon, a sunroom, and multiple social rooms are on the amenity list, with transportation among the services.

Forty-six is the Walk Score for the area, low enough for the car-dependent label; most errands mean taking a car ride.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover assisted living?

Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Virginia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
