Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on September 15, 2025, found one deficiency related to failure to ensure all mandated reporters reported suspected abuse as required by Virginia Code. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving medication management, individualized service plans, resident orientation, and timely reporting of incidents. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues with resident care, medication administration, and documentation, though some complaints were unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with compliance in key areas, with some fluctuations but no clear overall improvement trend.
