“Since the new management came in, I really like what they've done; the leadership is actually engaged with the residents. The place looks very clean, and the day room's big window makes it very inviting. Any person could find an activity they'd enjoy, from clubs to movie night. My dad's room is clean with no odors. Transportation is on time, and I was more than satisfied. They take good care of my dad and notify me of any issues. I appreciate all the service they provide and hope they keep up the great job.”
“The support we get is really wonderful, and we feel really good about the people who visit my husband. Management has been very supportive. We had lunch together today; the food's good, and they're nice to him and nice to me when I visit. They offer lots of activities every day and take people on trips. His laundry is always very clean and returned, and the building is in very good condition. He feels well taken care of. I think it's great, and I'd be glad to recommend it.”

The activities are wonderful, more so than at any other facility I looked at, with two movies a day and nail polishing. Their apartment is always tidy, maintenance is great, and the nursing staff always call me. It's something I don't have to worry about.”

She's very quick to address a situation if somebody has an issue or problem. Plus, I think the activities are very good. They do a nice job of trying to include as many people as possible. I think they are very enthusiastic. They recruit people as much as they can, they try to do things that will bring people into the activities room. Also, the housekeeping and laundry is good and the maintenance is excellent. They are so nice and very caring, the care staff is conscientious, kind, and really try to help.”
“Mom stayed at this community and I had nothing but good things to say about it. In fact, I recommend them all the time. I was touched at how caring everyone, and I mean everyone, from the concierge to the people doing the restaurant service, from top to bottom, was just so caring and respectful of my mom. Management was always able to adapt to any questions or requests I had, and the care staff came to check on her even when it wasn't part of their rounds. The housekeepers were in there regularly and cleaned like they said they would, and mom's clothes did not disappear like I would've expected of people doing laundry for a whole building. Mom felt safe and comfortable there.”
“Dad lives here, he is very content, and I'd recommend them to other people. The management team there is very responsive and present. Their dining menu has variety, and the dining servers are friendly and responsive. He is going to the music entertainment and he likes that. The building looks lovely, well decorated and clean. The maintenance staff is wonderful and houekeeping keeps his place clean. The healthcare staff is knowledgeable, accessible and responsive. Dad feels overall comfortable and safe thee.”
“Dad lives at the community and it feels great knowing that your loved one is doing okay, that you can trust them. Management addresses our wants quickly and in a timely manner.

He likes the outdoor trips, they have a nice patio he can go out on, and he is usually in the activity room when I stop by, which is good. They keep up with laundry well and the building is always well kept. He loves the nurses and he vibes with the personnel like buddies. He feels safe and comfortable there.”
“We have been at this community for a short time but they are just good people. They are compasionate and very caring and just a great group of people. We are really happy with the facility so far. The management and healthcare staff are great because of the way they work and how they take care of their staff and the people. They take care of my brother-in-law very well and they are on top of things. They know him very well and anything he needs he gets. I can text them and call them and they answer their phone and respond pretty quickly. I absolutely would recommend this community to others. The staff there is fantastic in every aspect.”

They come in once a week and they do the laundry regularly. I would definitely recommend this community to others. My mom is happy there.”
“I quoted a lot of places and I chose this community because there was a very good value proposition there. For the price that you pay and the level of care she receives and the location you can't beat it. One of the benefits of this community is that they have great people. They are great and they are great at supporting my mom and our family. Everyone has been very helpful and communicative. Sara and Hector are always available and are always on top of things. When I visit I see a list of events and activities that they are doing and it seems like they are doing a lot for the community. My mom's apartment is always very clean and I never see any issues with the property. Everything is in order. The care staff are doing great too. They have all been doing what they are supposed to be doing. They are doing their best to monitor my mom's diabetes which is not an easy task.They are quick to communicate exactly what is going on with her and they are very knowledgeable. It seems like they have one dedicated medical staff person for each floor which is great. I would definitely recommend this community to others.”
“There is a really good group of people there. Everyone is very attentive. I've been there and observed what they've done when they don't even know that I'm there and the attention they give my mom is great and super kind. They are doing a great job.”
“The staff all tell me how much they like my mom. It does make me feel better that they say nice things about her to me, and they will go out of their way to say how wonderful she is and how much they enjoy having her there.

What these terms mean
A violation is a standard that the inspector found the facility did not meet. VDSS: “The licensee has the opportunity to submit a plan of correction to indicate how the cited violation(s) will be addressed in order to return the facility to compliance.” Plans of correction are written by the facility.
For a complaint inspection, VDSS states whether “the evidence gathered during the investigation” supported the allegations. Violations found during a complaint visit that are not related to the complaint are listed on the same notice. VDSS also investigates incidents that a facility reports about itself; those are listed separately and are not counted as complaints.
Virginia sets the length of a license by the facility's record (22VAC40-80-100): “A three-year license may be issued when a facility's activities, services, and management routinely substantially exceed the minimum standards. A two-year license may be issued when a facility's services and management routinely meet and maintain compliance with minimum standards ... An annual license may be issued when a facility's activities, services, and management indicate an inconsistent level of compliance but substantial compliance is reached.”
A provisional license (22VAC40-80-110) may be issued “when a regular license expires and the applicant is temporarily unable to comply with the requirements of the regulations,” for up to 12 months. A conditional license (22VAC40-80-80) is for a new facility to “demonstrate compliance with specified standards.”
Each violation is labeled with the title of the rule it falls under in the Standards for Licensed Assisted Living Facilities (22VAC40-73).
