Our Lady of Peace is a senior care community in Charlottesville, Virginia, offering assisted living, memory care, and nursing care in one setting. Operated under governmental authority and led by Ms. Rachel Lindberg, it has a 140-bed capacity. The community currently operates at a 99% occupancy rate, one of the highest rates in the Charlottesville market, reflecting strong demand and sustained confidence from residents and families. Since room availability is very limited, families are encouraged to inquire early for openings and discuss possible waitlist options.
The community has earned a 5 out of 5 overall CMS rating, a distinction achieved by only a small number of assisted living and nursing care providers in Virginia. This rating is driven by strong performance in staffing, rated 5 out of 5 compared to the state average of 3.6, and quality measures, also rated 5 out of 5 compared to a Virginia average of 4.0. Residents receive an average of 4 hours and 35 minutes of nursing care per day, which is slightly below the state average of 4 hours and 47 minutes but consistent with its high-quality outcomes. The health inspection rating stands at 3 out of 5, close to the Virginia average of 3.4, with some documentation-related findings cited during the October 2024 renewal inspection.
In line with this, across seven total inspections, only one resulted in a cited violation, or 14.3%, significantly lower than the Virginia average of 64.3%. The community has recorded eight total deficiencies, well below the state average of 32. The most recent renewal inspection in October 2024 identified procedural concerns about medication administration timing and risk assessments. Additionally, complaint investigations conducted in 2022 and early 2024 were unsubstantiated, and there have been no fines or enforcement actions. Overall, the compliance record shows steady and improving performance.
Nursing services, skilled nursing care, and support from licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are among the clinical services provided, complemented by life enrichment activities, dining services, and structured daily programming.
Our Lady of Peace is well-suited for older adults who require reliable assisted living or nursing-level care. Its government-operated setting, along with strong staffing and quality performance, a long-standing reputation, and consistently high occupancy, are appealing features for those exploring care options in the Charlottesville area.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.

| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 58m per day | ▲ 41% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 41m per day | ▼ 32% State avg: 1h 0m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 37m per day | ▲ 24% State avg: 2h 7m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 38m per day | ▲ 10% State avg: 3h 19m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 38m per day | ▲ 36% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
