Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Virginia average: 32 deficiencies
4.1 deficiencies per inspection
Virginia average: 2.3 deficiencies per inspection
The most recent inspection on October 9, 2025, included a complaint investigation that found deficiencies related to maintaining current disclosure form information and having a written staffing plan. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving resident care, medication management, supervision, documentation, and safety, with multiple substantiated complaints and citations over time. Notable concerns included delayed incident reporting, inadequate supervision leading to resident elopements and falls, medication administration errors, and unsecured hazardous materials. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated when conducted, while enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility showed some improvement with a clean monitoring visit later on October 9, 2025, but overall the record reflects ongoing challenges with compliance in several key areas.
