Living Waters Senior Care is a locally owned and operated assisted living community managed by Melissa Green and has an active license in Timberville, Virginia, serving the greater Harrisonburg region. Serving 33 residents with a 40-bed capacity, the community has an occupancy rate of roughly 82.5%, which aligns with the Virginia state average and indicates stable demand for care within the rural Shenandoah Valley neighborhood.
Regarding its regulatory standing, the community has a detailed inspection history that families should evaluate with care. It has undergone a total of 11 inspections, five of which were prompted by complaints, and each of these visits resulted in at least one violation. This 100% violation rate is significantly higher than the Virginia average of 64.3%, and the cumulative deficiency count of 55 also exceeds the state average of 32. Additionally, frequent areas of concern identified in past reports include medication management, staff training records, emergency readiness, building upkeep, and adherence to individualized service plans. The most recent review on September 12, 2025, also cited a deficiency regarding the timelines for physician reviews of medication orders. While some complaint investigations were substantiated, such as one involving the availability of basic hygiene supplies, no formal fines or licensing enforcement actions are currently listed in the public record.
The community provides several core services, including 24-hour care, hospice coordination, and specialized nutritional and dietary support. Since it is locally owned and embedded in the neighborhood, the community appeals to those looking for a more personal connection with management and care providers. While specific data on lifestyle amenities is limited in current records, the community’s focus remains on providing consistent, around-the-clock support for its residents.
Living Waters Senior Care may serve as a practical choice for older adults in the Timberville and Harrisonburg area who need constant supervision and value a locally managed setting. However, families exploring this option are encouraged to request current staffing plans, medication protocols, and the most recent inspection summaries to ensure it meets their standards.
