Woodland Hills Independent Living, Assisted Living & Memory Care was inspected 68 times between November 17, 2020 and June 15, 2026 by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 39 of those visits ended with violations cited and 29 with none. Across that history VDSS cited 169 violations under 69 distinct standards. 26 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. 62 of these 68 are still on the state's site; the other 6 have since dropped off it and are reproduced from Assisted Living Magazine's archive of the original VDSS reports.

  2. The record for resident 1 does not have documentation of resident 1’s fall on 03/13/2026 until a progress note dated 03/16/2026 at 17:15 (5:15pm) that was authored by staff person 2.
  3. The facility procedures for resident emergencies were requested by the LI for review on 03/19/2026. The following is documentation that is included in the policies that were made available for review. The policy named Falls (policy # 614) has the following documentation listed under B number 6: The Charge Nurse will notify the physician and responsible party and B number 8: A licensed nurse will complete an incident report. The resident will be monitored, evaluated and documented on for three consecutive shifts post fall. This includes the shift when they fell and the two following. Monitor, evaluate and document a fourth note 24 hours after the third consecutive shift note and then again 24 hours after the fourth note. There should be five (5) total notes. In an interview with 2 LI’s and staff person 1 conducted on the day of on-site inspection, staff person 1 stated that the policy for Falls (policy # 614) is part of the facility nursing policies and procedures included in the facility plan for resident emergencies.
Plan of correction
1. The facility reviewed the incident involving Resident #1 and reinforced implementation of the facility’s emergency response and fall management procedures, including required notifications, documentation. 2. An audit of resident emergency and incident documentation was conducted to ensure staff are implementing the facility’s written emergency response policies and procedures appropriately. 3. The Administrator/Nurse/Designee re-educated all staff regarding the facility’s emergency procedures and Falls Policy #614, including requirements for supervisor notification, physician and responsible party notification, incident reporting, resident monitoring, and post-fall documentation. 4. The Administrator/Nurse/Designee will review all falls and emergency incidents weekly for four weeks and monthly thereafter for two months to ensure compliance with the facility’s emergency response plan and policies. Any deficiencies identified will be corrected with additional education and/or disciplinary action implemented as necessary.
22VAC40-73-300-B
Based on resident record review, facility documentation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a method of written communication shall be utilized as a means of keeping direct care staff on all shifts informed of significant happenings or problems experienced by residents, including complaints and incidents or injuries related to physical or mental conditions.
Evidence
  1. The facility written communication for keeping direct care informed of significant happenings or problems experienced by residents was requested for review on the day of on-site inspection. The communications report from 03/12/2026 through 03/19/2026 provided for review does not have any documentation to keep direct care staff informed of Resident 1’s fall on 03/13/2026 or of resident 1’s complaints of pain/discomfort on 03/14/2026, 03/15/2026 or 03/16/2026.
Plan of correction
1. The records for Resident #1 were reviewed and updated to include documentation regarding the resident’s fall on 03/13/2026. 2.
