Overview of Riverside Assisted Living at Patriots Colony

Riverside Assisted Living at Patriots Colony is a large-scale senior living community in Williamsburg, Virginia. Operating under the Riverside Health System, a prominent regional healthcare provider, the community is managed by Dara Taylor and holds prestigious CARF accreditation. With a 136-bed capacity, 63 beds are currently occupied, which represents a 46% occupancy rate.

Its CARF accreditation is a significant third-party credential, indicating that the community has passed a rigorous evaluation and adheres to high standards of care, a distinction held by a minority of assisted living providers.

All 8 of the state inspections conducted resulted in violations, which is a 100% violation rate, higher than the Virginia average of 64.3%. Additionally, the total deficiency count is 39, which is above the state average of 32. During the most recent inspection in March 2025, identified issues included staff scheduling, admission records, medication storage, menu postings, and service plans. While some complaint investigations resulted in substantiated findings related to incident reporting and resident care, no fines or license suspensions were reported.

The community provides a wellness-focused lifestyle in a secure, gated campus. Spacious one and two-bedroom apartments are available, along with an on-site Riverside Wellness Clinic, a fitness center, and a beauty and barber shop. Weekly laundry and housekeeping services are also provided to ensure a maintenance-free lifestyle, while a diverse calendar of social outings and activities encourages resident independence and social connection. Dining includes three daily meals served in a family-style setting with various menu choices. With a physician on staff, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and respite care, the community offers significant medical support on campus.

With a combination of CARF accreditation and access to diverse clinical services, Riverside Assisted Living at Patriots Colony is an ideal choice for active older adults seeking apartment-style living supported by a major health system and extensive amenities.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident

3h 49m per day

vs avg

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.	54m 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.	1h 29m 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.	1h 40m 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 31m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	10m 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.	20m per day
