Dominion Village at Williamsburg was inspected 15 times between April 13, 2021 and June 5, 2025 by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 14 of those visits ended with violations cited and 1 with none. Across that history VDSS cited 64 violations under 38 distinct standards. 5 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.
