Prompted by a complaint

CEDARFIELD Pinnacle Living was inspected 7 times between March 23, 2021 and May 27, 2026 by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 1 of those visits ended with violations cited and 6 with none. Across that history VDSS cited 6 violations under 4 distinct standards.

A violation is a licensing standard - a rule in the Virginia Administrative Code - that the inspector found the facility was not meeting. Each is shown with the evidence the inspector recorded and, where VDSS publishes it, the facility's own plan of correction.

VDSS publishes inspections on a rolling window. 6 of these 7 are still on the state's site; the other 1 has since dropped off it and is reproduced from Assisted Living Magazine's archive of the original VDSS reports.

Evidence
  1. The admission physical examination for resident #6 dated 5/19/2021 states “needs continuous licensed nursing care” which is a prohibited condition.

Plan of correction

Secure unit reviews will be conducted on a biannual basis to confirm the level of care remains appropriate.
