All 14 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Virginia Beach,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
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.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a 30-bed nonprofit home in Virginia Beach, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.1% sits well below the 45.8% national rate, that kind of retention matters in a building this small, where one departure is felt. Weekend staffing dips about 6% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if you're planning visits. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. Worth reading those three closely before deciding.
Seaside Hhc @ Atlantic Shore runs 50 certified beds in Virginia Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average of 3.86. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or calls mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Its 48% annual turnover sits a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers do cycle through. Inspections in late November 2025 turned up 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the home earned 4 of 5 stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.
Bay Pointe runs lean on nurses. At 3.11 hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday levels. That staffing picture earned a 1 out of 5 from CMS, and 56.8% of staff left over the past year versus 45.8% nationally. Its quality measure score looks strong at 5 out of 5, which is worth noting, but the current record shows 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was August 2023, so that record is getting stale. The for-profit LLC ownership adds another layer to weigh.
Kempsville Health & Rehab Center is a for-profit, LLC-owned home in Virginia Beach with 90 certified beds, and its staffing is the first thing that stands out. Nurses provide 3.17 hours per resident per day, roughly 18% below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 19% below the home's own weekday level, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 54.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the one-star staffing rating reflects that. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse.
Cypress Pointe runs lean on the floor. At 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home staffs during the week, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 57.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The inspection record shows 52 deficiencies, including one at harm level and five tied to abuse, with a $10,358 fine and a February 2026 inspection. For-profit LLC ownership. Ask about weekend coverage and how they screen staff.
Nurse staffing here sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average of 3.86, but that average hides a gap, since weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people showing up are changing often. The inspection record is the harder read: 48 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and $27,626 in fines across four events, with the last full inspection back in January 2023. A non-profit owns it, and the quality stars look strong, but staffing and inspection results are telling a different story.
Rosemont Health & Rehab Center runs 116 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits about 10% under the national average at 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, a gap that widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters more given the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the last full inspection back in September 2022. Turnover is the one clear bright spot at 34.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure score of 4 out of 5 suggests clinical outcomes hold up. But with a 2 out of 5 staffing rating and a two-year-old inspection, ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Thalia Gardens runs on 3.15 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 26 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 61.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people left covering those shifts are often new. The inspection record shows 72 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Ownership is a for-profit corporation. Quality measures score well, but that reflects charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.
Bayside runs 3.38 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14 percent below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 77.9 percent against a national figure of 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 66 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $113,068 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at four stars, but that number reflects resident assessments, not how the place is run day to day.
Colonial Health & Rehab Center runs 90 beds in Virginia Beach under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. Nurses provide 3.52 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 20% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 66.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your family member are likelier than not to change within the year.
The inspection record is harder to explain away: 61 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse. One fine totaling $78,455 is on file. Quality measures score well, but that's self-reported data. The last full inspection was September 2024, so the record is current.
Virginia Beach Healthcare and Rehab Center runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.42 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 19% below its own weekday levels, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. Staff turnover sits at 65.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are cycling through quickly. Its inspection record shows 96 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with one fine of $131,313 on file and a fresh inspection in October 2024. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but that number sits on top of a for-profit LLC structure with a one-star inspection and staffing rating.
Birchwood Park runs on thin staffing. At 3.06 nurse hours per resident per day, it's about 21% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 20% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 63.6% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are frequently new. The inspection record is heavier still: 114 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, ten abuse-related, and a $131,178 fine. Virginia Beach has plenty of options; ask this one directly how it plans to fix staffing before you decide.
Jones & Cabacoy Veterans Care Center is state-run, and you can see it in the numbers. Nurse staffing runs about 4.59 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage holds within about 13 percent of weekday levels, a dip, but not a freefall. Staff turnover sits at 29.3 percent against a national average near 46, which suggests people stay. The inspection record is clean: no deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey dates to January 2024. For a 128-bed home, that combination, solid hours per resident, manageable turnover, an unblemished survey, is uncommon. Worth a visit, with questions about weekend staffing specifically.
