The Legacy at North Augusta, Inc. is a senior living community in Staunton, Virginia, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, along with specialized services for hospice care and veterans assistance. The community has an active Virginia license, though the renewal status should be confirmed directly with the community, as the expiration was noted for November 2025, and is administered by Craig Wagoner. With 135 licensed beds, it is a larger community that can serve older adults at different levels of need and is currently operating at approximately 71% occupancy rate.
Across 17 total inspections, 14 resulted in violations, which is higher than the Virginia average of 64.3%. The cumulative deficiency count is also at 33, which is near the state average of 32. The most recent inspection on September 23, 2025, cited medication administration issues among other violations. Recurring themes also include medication administration errors, individualized service plan documentation, resident record security, and hazardous material storage. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with two substantiated complaints involving staffing levels on the secured memory care unit and building conditions. However, no immediate jeopardy findings, license suspensions, or fines were reported.
Clinical services include nursing services, licensed nurses and CNAs, 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, and respite care. Restaurant-style dining is provided, and the community’s programming spans lifestyle amenities, therapy services, and memory care support. The Veterans Assistance program is also a relevant differentiator for families with a military service background.
The Legacy at North Augusta is a great option for older adults and families seeking a larger community that offers full continuum care, veterans support, and diverse living options. However, families are encouraged to discuss the community’s medication management protocols and recent corrective actions directly with administration before making a placement decision, as regulatory records warrant close attention on such matters.
The Legacy at North Augusta, Inc. is administrated by Mr. Craig Wagoner.
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.
