Runk & Pratt Residential Adult Care of Lynchburg was inspected 30 times between December 10, 2020 and May 28, 2026 by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 12 of those visits ended with violations cited and 18 with none. Across that history VDSS cited 35 violations under 25 distinct standards. 15 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. 28 of these 30 are still on the state's site; the other 2 have since dropped off it and are reproduced from Assisted Living Magazine's archive of the original VDSS reports.
