CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Virginia Baptist Homes Inc operates The Chesapeake, a 644-bed continuing care retirement community in the Newport News suburbs. The nonprofit, faith-affiliated facility provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home care in a large-scale setting. Residents are predominantly private-pay (87.5% of current census), with Medicare and Medicaid comprising 8.3 and 4.2% respectively.
Occupancy has declined from 66.2% in 2022 to 55.1% in 2023. Average stays run 140 days across all care levels.
The facility earns five-star CMS ratings in health inspection, staffing, and quality measures; each category exceeding benchmarks.
Staffing investment reflects this designation: nurses and aides deliver 5 hours 9 minutes of combined care/resident/day, ranking 19th statewide. Registered nurses provide 1 hour 6 minutes of daily coverage, 61% above state norms. The staff-to-resident ratio reaches 2.04:1, outperforming the average by 23%. Physical therapist hours at 10 minutes/resident/day, are double state averages, indicating emphasis on rehabilitation infrastructure.
The facility’s most recent inspection was January 2022. That inspection identified 23 citations from an eight-year window: no critical or serious deficiencies, 21 moderate, two minor. Resident Rights concerns comprised 35% of findings. No federal penalties have been assessed.
2023 net income was negative $1.1 million, though this represents improvement from negative $2.3 million in 2022. Annual revenue totals $29.5 million. Payroll consumes 46.9% of revenue; a reasonable level for nonprofit operations but below the typical 51–60% range.
Functional decline scores of 37.5 rank 90% worse than average.
Walking ability worsened in 56.1% of residents, 184% above the average. Unintended weight loss affected 18.0% of long-stay residents, 206% above the baseline. Falls resulting in major injury occurred in 6.6% of long-stay residents, 82% above state norms. Urinary tract infections appeared in 2.3% of residents, 51% above state incidence.
High-risk clinical events score 22.3, representing 120% worse performance than average.
Measurable strengths include depressive symptoms at 3.1% (79% better than average) and antipsychotic use at 5.2% (60% better). Influenza vaccination compliance reaches 100%.
Short-stay rehabilitation residents show zero antipsychotic medication initiations versus the average of 1.2%, and zero major-injury falls versus 0.8% statewide. Successful community return reached 58.2%, 15% above baseline. Emergency department visits ran 54% lower than state norms.
The Chesapeake presents as a highly-resourced facility optimized for post-acute rehabilitation with infrastructure that does not translate into sustained functional maintenance for long-term residents.
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.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 18th out of 78 homes in Virginia for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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 | ▲ 33% 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.
| 1h 19m per day | ▲ 31% 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 41m per day | ▲ 27% 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.
| 4h 1m per day | ▲ 21% State avg: 3h 19m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 7m per day | ▲ 32% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m 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.
| 23m per day | ▼ 19% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
