What federal inspectors recorded in Virginia
Virginia has 289 facilities certified by Medicare or Medicaid, as of the CMS penalty file published August 1, 2026. CMS publishes what it fined them, when it stopped paying for new admissions, how many nursing hours they staffed, and what its inspectors wrote up. These are those records counted. A penalty is an enforcement action on a date, not a verdict on the care a resident receives today.
- Facilities with a federal penalty
37%108 of 289 (37%)
A civil money penalty, a payment denial, or both, among the penalties CMS recorded between July 17, 2023 and July 29, 2026.
- Facilities where CMS stopped paying for new admissions
4%11 of 289 (4%)
A payment denial is CMS refusing to pay for newly admitted Medicare and Medicaid residents until the facility corrects the problem it cited.
- Median penalty total, among facilities that were fined
$33,822in fines · 103 facilities
The middle facility's total across every civil money penalty CMS recorded for it in this window, not the amount of a single fine.
- Median nurse staffing hours per resident day
3.46hours · 287 facilities
0.22 hours below the national median of 3.68 hours.
Total nurse hours per resident per day from payroll records CMS collects, quarter Q1 2026. Staffing is an input, not an outcome.
- Facilities with an inspection citation in the last 12 months
43%123 of 289 (43%)
Counts facilities with at least one deficiency CMS inspectors wrote up in the last 365 days. The most recent one here is dated June 26, 2026. A facility inspected and found compliant records no citation, so this is not a survey date.
These figures cover nursing homes and nothing else on this site. Penalties, payroll staffing and inspection citations in this form are federal records that CMS keeps for Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes. Assisted living, memory care and in-home agencies are licensed by each state under different rules, and the state penalty files we hold are not comparable to these. We would rather show one honest set of numbers than a national-looking figure stitched from regulators that do not measure the same thing.
Every share above is printed with the number of facilities behind it. Where a place has too few facilities for a share to mean anything, we print the count and say so rather than a percentage. How we count, and what we will not count, is in our methodology.
