Inspection compliance demonstrates a mixed record since initial licensing in April 2024.
The inaugural inspection (April) and a mandated monitoring visit (July 2024) yielded zero deficiencies. However, renewal inspections beginning October 2024 have documented recurring documentation gaps. October 2024 identified inadequate recording of signaling device limitations in individualized service plans. One year later, October 2025 inspections (both monitoring and renewal) cited the same service plan deficiency plus two additional violations: missing written approval procedures for cognitive impairment placements and insufficient supervision protocols following a resident’s self-reported wandering incident from the secure memory care unit.
Four total deficiencies across five inspections places the facility 78% below Virginia’s average deficiency rate, yet the recurring nature of service plan documentation issues and the October 2025 supervision concern suggest systemic care planning and implementation challenges. No fines, complaints, or enforcement actions appear in available records.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Virginia
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Virginia?
Assisted living in Virginia supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Virginia?
Assisted living in Virginia is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
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.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 353 assisted living facilities in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Virginia?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Virginia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Virginia?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
