How for-profit homes in Virginia compare
This group set against every nursing home in Virginia, from the current CMS release.
Appomattox Health & Rehabilitation Center runs on thin staffing for a 60-bed home. At 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so the hours when families tend to visit are also the leanest. Turnover tells another part of the story: 64.9% of staff leave each year, against a national 45.8%, which means new faces constantly. The inspection record includes 39 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus $18,636 in fines, and the last inspection was May 2023. Quality measures score well, but consistent staffing and a clean survey record are what keep residents safe day to day.
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.
Galax Health and Rehab runs on 3.35 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 11 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thinner weekend coverage matters in a building where staff turnover sits at 48.3 percent and inspectors have logged 40 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The last full inspection was in November 2023, so the record is fairly current, and a single $13,627 fine is on file. The for-profit corporate owner keeps 120 certified beds; a 2-out-of-5 rating across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing tells you the shortfalls show up in more than one place.
Walter Reed Post Acute sits in Gloucester with 181 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The inspection record is genuinely strong, 18 deficiencies total, with just one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the last survey was recent. Where the picture changes is staffing: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day runs about 20% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover hits 59.9% against a national 45.8%. A strong survey history doesn't cancel out thin daily coverage, especially on weekends, and the staff churn suggests replacements are constantly learning the building.
Carrington Place of Tappahannock runs about 2.86 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating: one star out of five. Staff turnover sits at 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The current record carries 33 deficiencies, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was July 15, 2024. Quality measures score well at four stars, but with this few hands on deck, that gap is worth asking about directly.
Deer Meadows runs a 119-bed for-profit operation in Abingdon, and the staffing numbers are where the story starts: 3.30 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 11% below its own weekdays. Nearly two-thirds of staff turned over in the past year, 63.6% against a national 45.8%, which means the people delivering care keep changing. On paper, the quality measures look decent at 4 out of 5 stars, and the 53 deficiencies on record include none flagged for harm or abuse. But low staffing plus high turnover is a hard combination to dress up, no matter how the quality scores read.
Holly Manor Rehab And Nursing runs 120 certified beds in Farmville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that matter most here are the inspection and staffing ones. CMS gives it one star for health inspections and one for staffing. There are 95 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover is 56.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure star of four looks better on paper, but it's built from resident assessment data, not from how the place is actually run day to day. The last inspection was August 30, 2024.
River View On The Appomattox runs 124 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 74.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. The inspection record is heavier still: 63 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2023.
Petersburg Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national figure of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover among nursing staff reaches 57.1% against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with one fine of $26,125. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection ratings both land at 2 out of 5.
Chelsea Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center runs 84 certified beds in Goochland under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what they'd see on a Sunday. Staff turnover, at 45.5%, is essentially the national rate, meaning little continuity from one month to the next. The current record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $10,033 fine. A September 2024 inspection is recent enough to be current. Resident outcome measures score well; the inspection and staffing pictures are where the concern sits.
Staunton Post Acute & Rehabilitation runs 170 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers that matter most here are the inspection ones. The current record shows 48 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, a serious pattern that lines up with the one-star health inspection rating. It's also been more than two years since the last inspection in June 2023, so that record may not reflect what's happening now. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 54.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure.
Colonnades runs on staffing that most homes can't match, 6.72 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 36.4% versus 45.8% nationally. That's a genuinely strong floor, and the staffing and quality stars reflect it. The problem sits elsewhere. Twenty-six deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, and a one-star inspection rating, all from a visit in November 2024. Weekend coverage also dips about 10% below what the home provides Monday through Friday. A corporation owns it. Families weighing this one should read the inspection reports themselves before deciding.
The Jefferson runs 31 beds in Arlington, and the numbers behind its record are worth pausing on. Inspectors have cited 63 deficiencies, four of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and four tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $61,065. Staff turnover sits at 68.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which tracks with its one-star staffing rating, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. What's odd is the quality measure score: five stars, meaning the clinical data the home reports looks good even as its staffing and inspection records don't. Ask what that gap actually reflects before you decide.
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.
Ghent Health and Rehabilitation runs 222 beds in Norfolk under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.79 hours per resident per day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 16% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder number: 69 deficiencies, including 4 tied to abuse and 2 at the level of actual harm or jeopardy, with the most recent inspection dated February 26, 2026. Annual turnover of 50.7% tops the national 45.8% average, meaning a large share of caregivers are still new to the building.
Nassawadox Rehabilitation and Nursing runs 145 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should concern you most. Fifty-four deficiencies sit on the current record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in May 2022, so that record is several years old now. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is lower than average at 32.6%, which is a genuine bright spot. The federal inspection rating of one star is the number that matters most here.
Marcella Post Acute runs 180 beds in Hampton under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 21% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 18% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 60.2% against a 45.8% national rate means the aides and nurses you meet may not be there in six months.
The inspection record backs that up: 53 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and the last full inspection was in October 2021. Strong quality measure scores don't offset a staffing picture this thin.
Nurse staffing at Lynn Care Center runs 4.11 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but the coverage thins out on weekends, dropping about 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 56.6%, meaning more than half the nursing team leaves each year, well above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real concern sits: 59 deficiencies, 4 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 3 related to abuse, and a $38,110 fine. That's a lot of problems for a 120-bed for-profit home, and the 1-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects it. High quality measure scores don't cancel out a record like that.
Pheasant Ridge runs on thinner staffing than most homes you'd compare it to, about 3.27 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The health inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. A January 2024 inspection is recent, and the 4/5 quality measure score suggests some clinical benchmarks are being met. But low staffing and high turnover weigh heavily against that.
Nurse staffing at The Rehab Center At Bristol runs 3.94 hours per resident day, just above the national average, but weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. The bigger concerns sit elsewhere: 33 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a 1-out-of-5 rating on CMS quality measures. Staff turnover is 48.1%, higher than the 45.8% national average, and this for-profit limited liability company carries a $10,358 fine. Its last inspection was October 1, 2025, so that record is recent.
