Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Virginia
Virginia's Care Compare directory includes 289 CMS-certified nursing homes, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The average overall rating across the state stands at 3.02 of 5 stars. The directory displays each facility's overall rating along with separate scores for health inspections and staffing, providing a quick overview of quality metrics.
The Five-Star rating system functions as a relative quality measure with acknowledged limitations. The ratings shown represent data from May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. The Five-Star system is one of several factors that prospective residents and families should consider when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the type of specialized care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical personnel all play important roles in the selection process.
Anyone considering a Virginia nursing home should verify the facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making care decisions based on the information provided.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
