Overview of Assisted Living at Lucy Corr

Assisted Living at Lucy Corr is a continuing care retirement community led by Casandra Yarosz in Chesterfield, Virginia, offering a full range of services that include independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and adult day care. The assisted living component has a 58-bed capacity within a larger campus designed for adults aged 62 and older. With 44 of 58 residences filled, the community is currently operating at 76%, which is consistent with the Virginia average.

The assisted living component has undergone 8 state inspections, fewer than the Virginia average of 14, which reflects its size and scope. 62.5% of which resulted in cited violations, closely aligned with the state average of 64.3%. Additionally, a total of 13 deficiencies have been recorded, well below the statewide average of 32, with most findings involving documentation practices, such as missing Do Not Resuscitate orders on service plans, medication administration records, and incomplete admission assessments. Along with unsubstantiated complaint investigations, the most recent inspection on November 5, 2025, also concluded with no deficiencies related to resident care. There are no records of fines or license suspensions.

For a community of this scale, the community has strong clinical support, including access to skilled nursing, licensed nurses, and certified nursing assistants, rehabilitation services, short-term recovery programs, respite care, and an adult day center. The campus layout also includes cottages and apartment-style residences alongside a central health care hub, supporting continuity of care as needs change over time. Meanwhile, the Life Care model is designed to provide long-term stability and predictable access to higher levels of care.

Assisted Living at Lucy Corr is well-suited for active adults aged 62 and older who want the security of a full continuum of care under one roof, particularly those couples with evolving health needs, as the availability of on-site skilled nursing and rehabilitation services supports smoother transitions over time.

Overview of Memory Care at Bristol

Memory Care at Bristol is a specialized memory care community in Bristol, Virginia, focusing solely on the needs of those with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Managed by Cirena West, the community has a 30-bed capacity. Its occupancy is currently at approximately 50%, which is ideal for families looking for immediate memory care placement in the Bristol area. Characterized by a country-living aesthetic, the community has a strong commitment to life enrichment programming.

Regarding regulatory oversight, this community has undergone 16 inspections, which is higher than the Virginia average of 14. Ten of which resulted in violations, representing a 62.5% rate that falls just under the state average of 64.3%. The cumulative deficiency count is 29, which is also below the state average of 32. Furthermore, a renewal inspection conducted on October 21, 2025, identified concerns regarding medication timing, cognitive impairment assessments, and the absence of required bedroom furnishings. Previous records have also highlighted deficiencies involving medication management, maintenance, and resident documentation. Additionally, a partially substantiated complaint confirmed some issues about the condition of furnishings and general cleanliness. However, no fines or formal enforcement actions were reported, but families are still encouraged to ask about current medication protocols and recent corrective improvements.

For its intimate scale, the community provides an impressive array of services and amenities, including 24/7 supervised care with a licensed nurse on-site, and access to private suites or shared rooms. A rehabilitation gym, indoor and outdoor walking paths, a beauty and barber shop, a sensory room, and dedicated spaces for activities are also available on-site. Daily life support, like medication monitoring, housekeeping, and personal laundry services, is also provided. The culinary program provides three balanced, home-cooked meals every day along with healthy snacks, all tailored to resident preferences and specific dietary needs. Furthermore, on-site rehabilitation and life enrichment programs are customized to each resident’s personal interests and cognitive abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Virginia

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Virginia Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 82 nursing homes in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
