Prompted by a complaint

Heritage Village Assisted Living and Memory Care was inspected 12 times between March 19, 2021 and May 7, 2025 by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 3 of those visits ended with violations cited and 9 with none. Across that history VDSS cited 5 violations under 4 distinct standards. 7 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. 9 of these 12 are still on the state's site; the other 3 have since dropped off it and are reproduced from Assisted Living Magazine's archive of the original VDSS reports.

This complaint inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia. A complaint was received by the licensing office regarding insufficient training for a staff person and as a result it was impacting the health of individuals. Based on a review of the staff record, staff interviews and no additional concerns from residents the complaint was found to be invalid. Staff in question had received training but due to Covid final testing had been delayed but was now set up. A copy of the test schedule receipt was forwarded along with all training records. There were no incident reports to reflect a health impact due to lack of final testing. There was insufficient information in the complaint filed and no contact information to follow up on the concerns regarding the tone of the interaction this staff person has with others. Interviews did not however indicate any issues. Thank you to staff and administration for your time and assistance in completing this complaint. Contact your licensing inspector with additional questions or concerns.
