Prompted by a complaint

Sunrise of McLean was inspected 15 times between April 1, 2021 and August 18, 2025 by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 10 of those visits ended with violations cited and 5 with none. Across that history VDSS cited 25 violations under 23 distinct standards. 6 inspections were prompted by a complaint.

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. 14 of these 15 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.

Violations
22VAC40-73-320-A
Based on record review, facility failed to ensure that a person shall have a physical examination and shall contain a statement that specifies whether the individual is considered to be ambulatory or nonambulatory as defined in this chapter.
Evidence
  1. Resident #3 was admitted on 11/20/2020 with a physical examination dated 11/06/2020 that documents the resident is "ambulatory" and that the resident used a "hoyer lift for transfer" and does not meet the chapter definition of ambulatory as a condition of a resident who is physically capable of self-preservation by evacuating in response to an emergency to a refuge area.
Plan of correction
The Resident Care Director (RCD) contacted resident #3’s primary care physician (PCP). The Executive Director (ED) provided training to the Resident Care Coordinator (RCC) on review of the assessment and physical examinations to verify the ambulatory or non-ambulatory status is accurate per resident. The ED provided training to the RCD on review of the assessment and physical examinations to verify the ambulatory or non-ambulatory status is accurate per resident. The PCP has updated the physical examination to indicate the resident is non-ambulatory. The RCC and RCD conducted an audit of all resident physical examinations and assessment of ambulatory status to verify accuracy. The RCC and/or RCD review the assessment and physical examinations upon receipt, to verify the ambulatory or non- ambulatory status is accurate. The ED conducts monthly audits of physical examinations in comparison to the assessments, to verify the ambulatory or non-ambulatory status is accurate. The Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee will evaluate the results of the audits for up to three months following implementation of the plan and determine if additional focus or action is warranted. The ED or designated coordinator is responsible for implementation and ongoing compliance with the components of this Plan of Correction and addressing and resolving variances that may occur.
