Overview of Rappahannock Westminster Canterbury

Rappahannock Westminster Canterbury offers nursing home care, assisted living, home care, independent living, memory care, and nursing care in Irvington, VA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident maintains their own living space; independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Nursing home care and nursing care provide residential access to licensed nursing support, including nursing care around the clock, while home care supports a resident in their own home. With several care levels available, the community may be a good fit for someone whose care needs may change over time.

The community has 70 beds. Total nurse staffing is 5h 52m per resident/day, representing the total nursing time allocated to each resident across a day. Medicare and private pay are accepted; Medicare can help cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means paying directly for covered services.

The Life Enrichment Center offers a dedicated setting for resident activities, and the Fitness program provides on-site exercise opportunities. Fine Dining, the Residents’ Clinic, Support Services, the Rappahannock Club, Concierge, and Around Town are also available as named community programs and services. Pets are allowed, so a resident may keep a pet while living in the community. Ms. Cynethia Davis serves as the administrator.

Two inspection records, one community. The state inspects its 70 state-licensed beds; CMS inspects its 42 nursing-home beds.

Inspection History

In Virginia, the Department of Social Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Health (for nursing homes) perform the inspections required to maintain state and federal licensing.

ALM Inspection Grade

94 / 100 Combined grade: CMS inspection data for this community's nursing-home beds and Virginia inspection data for its state-licensed beds, weighted by bed count

How the two records combine

Nursing-home beds (CMS) · 38% of the grade B+ · 88/100

10 points above the Virginia average for CMS-certified facilities (78/100).

42 certified beds, 38% of the grade. Graded with CMS-certified facilities on the national scale.

Citations Typical

53 severity-weighted points (14 citations) · 24% lower than the typical CMS-certified VA facility (median: 69)

Enforcement Strong

No fines on record · 0 enforcement actions

Persistence Typical

41 days to fix issues · about the same as the typical CMS-certified VA facility (median: 41)

Virginia state-licensed beds · 62% of the grade A+ · 98/100

15 points above the Virginia average for state-licensed facilities (83/100).

70 licensed beds, 62% of the grade. Graded with Virginia state-licensed facilities on the Virginia scale.

Violations Strong

0 violations per inspection · better than the typical state-licensed VA facility (median: 1.8)

Finding Frequency Strong

0% of inspections found a violation · better than the typical state-licensed VA facility (median: 58%)

Complaints Strong

0 complaints · better than the typical state-licensed VA facility (median: 4)

How the final grade is calculated A · 94/100

88 × 38% + 98 × 62% = 94 / 100

The two grades are combined in proportion to the beds each record covers: 42 CMS-certified nursing-home beds (38%) and 70 Virginia state-licensed beds (62%). The result, 94 out of 100, is an A on the same scale every ALM Inspection Grade uses.

Inspection grade: 94 out of 100, letter grade A.

Rappahannock Westminster Canterbury’s finances from its CMS cost report for the fiscal year ending March 2025, compared with 68 Virginia nursing homes that filed a recent report. Includes all financial data for this property, which could include management/ownership changes.

FY Mar 2025

Is it financially stable?

Losing money on care, and more than last year

−1,156.9% operating margin

−1,106.7 pts vs prior year

An operating loss in 8 of the last 8 reported years. Other income ($27.2M) turns it into a net profit to $2.7M. Watch for cost-cutting that reaches staffing.

Does it invest in staff?

Spends more on payroll than most Virginia homes

VA average 64.5%Rank #1 / 68Payroll % of net patient revenue — State benchmarked This nursing home is ranked 1st out of 68 nursing homes we track in Virginia for payroll % of net patient revenue. Shows payroll as a percentage of net patient revenue versus the Virginia average, among facilities reporting a recent fiscal year. Below 25% may signal understaffing or heavy agency use — read with Staffing ratings. Communities with the same value for a metric share the same rank. Rankings compare like with like: every nursing home we track in Virginia that reports data for that category. Nursing homes without available data are excluded, so the pool size varies from metric to metric.

Payroll fell $0.7M while revenue fell $13.6M. Check hours per resident in the staffing section to confirm it reaches the floor.

CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HC (Home Care): Professional care delivered in the person's own home, from companionship to skilled nursing. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment. CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community): A campus with multiple care levels so residents can age in place without moving.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Virginia average is: 64.5% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
