Goodwin House Alexandria runs on 5.34 nursing hours per resident per day, about 38% above the national average, and that staffing holds up on weekends, roughly 5% below its own weekday level, which is a smaller drop than many homes show. Annual turnover sits at 17.8% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2023. This is a church-related nonprofit with 80 certified beds, and the pattern across staffing, retention, and inspection history is unusually steady.

Rappahannock Westminster Canterbury runs about 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 28% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 25.6% against a national 45.8%, that combination is why the numbers look strong here. Weekend staffing does dip about 13% below its weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations; the last inspection was August 2023, so the picture may be older than you'd like. A 42-bed nonprofit home with that staffing edge and relatively stable workforce is worth a visit, but bring questions about that harm-level finding and what's changed since.

The Haven At Brandermill Woods runs about 4.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits well below the typical American nursing home. Weekend coverage dips about 18 percent from weekday levels, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. Seven deficiencies appear on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last full inspection was in March 2023. As a nonprofit with a low deficiency count and steady staffing, this is a home where the numbers hold up under scrutiny rather than just looking good on a summary page.

Westminster At Lake Ridge runs 5.14 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 9% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover of 28.8% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. But the inspection record isn't clean: 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,281. The last full inspection was June 2022, so that picture is now more than two years old. Strong staffing and quality numbers, a thinner margin on the inspection side.

Westminster-Canterbury of Lynchburg runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 80 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.92 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 53% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, roughly 5% under its own weekday level, which is a small gap by most standards. Just as notable: 16% annual turnover against a national average near 46% means the people caring for residents tend to stay. Seven deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated March 2026. The quality measure rating lands at 4/5 rather than perfect, so it isn't flawless across the board, but the inspection and staffing records are strong.

Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay runs 6.24 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 60% more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds within about 8% of weekday levels, a gap that's smaller than what many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 45%, essentially matching the national average. The current record lists 17 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was in March 2023, so that record is now more than two years old. CMS rates staffing and quality measures at five stars and health inspections at four.

Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads runs on 5.42 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 19.3% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips only about 6% below its own weekday level, which is unusually steady. The 16 deficiencies on file include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 2024. That combination, heavy staffing, low turnover, no serious findings, is what separates this home from most of what you'll see in Fairfax County.

Mountain View runs about 4.8 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical U.S. nursing home, and its staff turnover sits below the national average too. Weekend coverage dips about 9% from its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. On the inspection side, the home carries 14 deficiencies but none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and its most recent inspection was in October 2025. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership with 40 beds suggests a smaller operation, and the survey record backs that up.

Augusta Medical Center Skilled Care is a small unit, 17 beds, run by a nonprofit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing. Nurse staffing sits at 6.29 hours per resident day, well above the national average, though weekends run roughly 17% lighter than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Staff turnover is 35%, better than the national 45.8%. Inspections tell a clean story: four deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was in May 2024. For a family weighing a rehab stay or longer-term placement, the low deficiency count and steady staffing carry more weight than any single score.

Brandon Oaks runs about 5.4 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national figure, which is the kind of margin that usually shows up as more hands on the floor. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. Staff turnover sits at 34.6%, better than the 45.8% national average, and the home carries 12 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was September 2023, so the record is getting a little dated. Nonprofit ownership tends to mean steadier staffing decisions, and the numbers here back that up.

Kendal At Lexington runs a nonprofit home with 60 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the story: 4.88 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 26 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 14 percent below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 40 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, though still a reminder that retaining caregivers is hard work everywhere. The inspection record is a different matter. Twenty-three deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $10,033 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating from CMS. The last full look came in April 2024. Strong staffing and quality scores coexist here with a citation history worth asking about directly.

Shenandoah Valley Westminster Canterbury runs 51 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 5.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 46% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Annual turnover sits at 25%, well under the national 45.8%. The trade-off is inspection history, 28 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2023. Quality and staffing measures score well; the health inspection record is more middling. Worth reading the actual deficiency reports before deciding.

Norton Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on unusually heavy staffing: 7.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national figure. Turnover sits at 11.8 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The trade-off is a longer deficiency record, 21 findings, one serious enough to involve harm, though nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent. A single $10,400 fine is modest by industry standards. Weekend coverage dips about 12 percent below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. For a 44-bed nonprofit unit, the numbers point to consistent hands-on care with some paperwork problems behind it.

The numbers at Arleigh Burke Pavilion in McLean mostly speak for themselves. Nurse staffing runs 4.70 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the 24.6% annual turnover is roughly half the national rate, a sign people stick around. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. The 13 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 2025, so the picture is current. For a 49-bed nonprofit, that combination of low turnover and steady inspection history is the real story behind the grade.

Westminster-Canterbury of Richmond runs 4.75 nurse hours per resident day, which is about 23% more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 43.8%, slightly under the national 45.8%, which for a nursing home this size is steadier than most. The health inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse citations. State surveyors were last in the building in June 2024. As a nonprofit, it isn't working around shareholder returns, and the staffing and quality measure ratings both land at 4 out of 5.

Snyder Nursing Home runs on about 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent more than the national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 12 percent below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 29.5 percent against a national 45.8, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in late October 2025. As a nonprofit with 45 beds, it's small enough that consistent staffing shows up in the numbers.

Nurse staffing here runs 9.41 hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekday levels, so families visiting on a Saturday should still find adequate hands on deck. Annual turnover sits at 26.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a workforce that stays put rather than cycling through constantly. The current record shows five deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated November 2025. Nonprofit ownership and perfect marks across health inspection, quality measures, and staffing round out a picture of a facility performing at a high level on the measures that matter most.

Harbor's Edge runs 5.87 nurse hours per resident per day, well above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in its five-star rating on that measure. Turnover sits at 40.4 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record is where you'll want to ask questions: 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one abuse-related citation is worth raising directly with the administrator. Staffing also dips about 19 percent on weekends, so ask how coverage works on Saturdays and Sundays. A recent February 2026 inspection means the record is current.

The Culpeper runs a nonprofit home of 47 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.69 hours per resident day, roughly 47% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, so care thins out somewhat on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 20%, well under the 45.8% national average, which suggests people stay. The current record carries 19 deficiencies, one at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in October 2023. CMS gives it top marks for staffing and middling marks for inspections and quality measures. Strong hours and low turnover are doing the heavy lifting here.

Windsormeade of Williamsburg runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers back up what that structure often buys you: time with residents. Nurse staffing sits at 5.54 hours per resident day, roughly 43 percent above the national average, and turnover comes in at 35.7 percent against a national 45.8, staff tend to stay. The tradeoff worth knowing is weekends, when coverage drops about 21 percent below the home's own weekday level. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2023. With only 22 certified beds, this is a small home, which cuts both ways on consistency.
