How for-profit homes in Virginia compare
This group set against every nursing home in Virginia, from the current CMS release.
Star City Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 116 certified beds in Roanoke under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know before you tour. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 12 percent below what the home provides on weekdays. Annual turnover hits 68.3 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2024.
Chesapeake Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds as a for-profit, individually owned home, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice. At 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday coverage. That thinness shows up over time: annual turnover is 63.3% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. Inspectors rated health inspections 1 out of 5 and staffing 1 out of 5, with 53 deficiencies on the current record, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was December 2021, so the record you're reading is years old.
Norview Heights runs on thin staffing. At 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home itself manages on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bigger tell: 69.6% of nursing staff leave each year, against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. The inspection record shows 46 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the last full inspection was in October 2021, nearly three years stale. Corporate-owned, 60 beds, and a staffing star of 1 out of 5.
Glenburnie Rehab & Nursing Center runs a 125-bed for-profit partnership in Henrico County, and its numbers pull in opposite directions. The quality measure score is perfect, but everything else tells a harder story: nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekend coverage drops roughly 22% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 69.4% while the country averages 45.8%. On inspections, CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars, with 127 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $54,211 fine. A January 2024 inspection is the most recent on file.
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.
Amelia Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs on about 2.93 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday pace. That thin margin shows up in the workforce itself: 61.6% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents see a rotating cast rather than familiar faces. The inspection record is harder to explain away, 60 deficiencies on file, including three at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit back in November 2023. A limited liability company operates the 100-bed home for profit. Good quality scores can't offset that.
Regency Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 60 beds in Yorktown under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 21% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 68.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are frequently new. The current record shows 31 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse. Its last inspection was February 2024.
Mountain Laurel runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes in the country, 3.14 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, roughly 17 percent below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. That gap matters when a resident needs help on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 62.6 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing care change often. The inspection record is where this home stands out: 87 deficiencies, eight of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, plus $204,839 in fines across ten penalties. CMS placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the small share of homes with persistent problems.
Lynchburg Health & Rehabilitation Center is a 180-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, so the quietest shifts are also the leanest. Annual turnover of 68% against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses showing up are often new to the building. The inspection record is the harder read: 61 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Past problems, and a workforce that keeps churning.
River Edge runs on thinner staffing than most homes you'll compare it to, 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday level. That matters, because the inspection record here is the real story: 41 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, four tied to abuse. The last full inspection was in November 2022, so you're looking at a stale snapshot of a home that hasn't been re-verified in a while. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, and corporate ownership means decisions get made at a distance. Go visit unannounced, ideally on a weekend.
Heritage Hall Tazewell runs about 2.92 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical home. Staffing thins out further on weekends, and with 180 beds to cover, that gap shows up where it matters. The inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $78,553 from a March 2024 visit. Turnover at 39.1% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention, it's how few staff each resident gets. For-profit LLC ownership rounds out the picture.
Northern Cardinal runs a 120-bed for-profit home, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 15 percent below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage has been unstable too, annual turnover hits 75.7 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new and still learning the building. Inspectors handed down 45 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two related to abuse, and the last full inspection was in April 2023, so that record has had time to age without a fresh look.
Westport Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 225 beds in Henrico County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday levels, and more than half the staff turned over in the past year, against a national rate nearer 46%. The inspection record is the harder read: 126 deficiencies, seven tied to abuse, and two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, with $63,670 in fines. CMS scored it one out of five on both health inspections and staffing. The last survey was November 2024, so the picture is current, not stale.
Shalom Gardens runs 101 beds in Henrico County under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, but weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. A 65.8% annual turnover rate means most of the people caring for your relative are new, still learning the building, or already halfway out the door. The inspection record is heavier than that: 49 deficiencies, three involving harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. One fine on record, $12,177.
Heritage Hall Dillwyn runs on thin staffing. At 2.95 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 24 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 17 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 55.2 percent outpaces the national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses cycle through often. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was March 2024. A four-star inspection rating and a two-star quality measure score sit alongside that one-star staffing picture; the state surveyors have generally been satisfied, but the day-to-day floor coverage is where the concern lives.
Woodmont Center runs about 25% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, 2.90 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 54.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses your relative sees are changing often. The inspection record backs that up: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 75 deficiencies still on the books, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $75,712 fine. The last inspection was January 2023, so that record has had time to age without much sign of a turnaround.
Old Dominion Rehabilitation And Nursing runs 115 certified beds in Newport News under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows. At 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 16 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 16 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 66.7 percent, against a national 45.8 percent, means the people providing that care are constantly changing. The record backs it up: 62 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a $305,340 fine. A recent inspection date doesn't offset a staffing star of 1 out of 5.
Canterbury Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a 183-bed for-profit home in Henrico County where the staffing numbers are the story. At 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 58.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the nursing team leaves each year. The inspection record is heavy: 132 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 abuse-related, with three fines totaling $436,524 and a July 2024 inspection. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow bright spot against staffing and oversight.
Newport News Nursing & Rehab runs on 2.95 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 22% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 61.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS rates staffing at 1 out of 5 stars. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 58 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with a $51,916 fine and no inspection since September 2022. Corporate for-profit ownership, 102 beds. A 3-star quality measure score doesn't offset any of that.
Oakhurst runs on about 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and it gets thinner on weekends. That shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at the lowest tier. The bigger red flag is turnover: more than eight in ten staff left over the past year, against a national rate nearer 46%. Inspections produced 60 deficiencies, including nine tied to abuse and four serious enough to put residents in harm's way. State regulators fined the home once, for $18,590. The last inspection was in February 2024. If you're considering this one, ask how they're keeping consistent caregivers on the floor.
