Prompted by a complaint

Lansdowne Heights, LLC was inspected 25 times between August 4, 2021 and May 20, 2026 by the Virginia Department of Social Services. 11 of those visits ended with violations cited and 14 with none. Across that history VDSS cited 25 violations under 19 distinct standards. 8 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. 23 of these 25 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.

Violations
22VAC40-73-470-F
Based on resident record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure that medical attention from a licensed health care professional was secured immediately when the resident suffers a serious accident, injury, illness, or medical condition.
Evidence
  1. On 04/20/2026, the facility reported an incident that occurred on 04/19/2026 in which Resident 1 fell and was placed back in bed following the discovery of Resident 1 on the floor of the bathroom. The report states that Resident 1 was sent to the hospital on 04/19/2026. In the follow-up report, dated 04/29/2026, the facility stated that Resident 1 fell on 04/17/2026 and was located by Staff 2 who notified Staff 3, the staff person in charge, at the time of the incident. The report stated that Staff 3 did not report the incident, and asked Staff 2 not to disclose upon notification that Resident 1 was at the hospital with a fracture.
  2. Resident 1’s progress notes did not include documentation of the incident that occurred on 04/17/2026. Resident 1’s progress notes do include PRN administration of pain medication on 04/18/2026, and documentation on 04/19/2026 of Resident 1 being sent out to the hospital due to tremors, poor body alignment, and Resident 1 only opening Resident 1’s left eye during assessment. The progress note stated that Resident 1 appeared to be in pain.
  3. Staff 2 and Staff 3’s written statements were reviewed. Staff 2’s statement indicates that Staff 2 entered Resident 1’s room around 10:00 AM and found Resident 1 on the bathroom floor. Staff 2’s statement describes Resident 1 as conscious but struggling to stand. Staff 2’s statement confirms that Staff 2 called Staff 3 to Resident 1’s room, where Staff 3 and Staff 2 assisted Resident 1 off the floor and to the toilet before Staff 3 left the room without completing an assessment. Staff 2’s written statement confirmed that Staff 2 did not document the fall.
  4. Staff 3’s statement confirms that Staff 3 was called to Resident 1’s room where Staff 2 and Staff 3 assisted the resident off the bedroom floor and returned Resident 1 to bed.
  5. A time-stamped document included with Staff 2 and Staff 3’s statements, prepared by Staff 4, indicates that Staff 3 entered Resident 1’s room at 9:59 PM and left at 10:02 PM.
  6. In an interview with the LI on 05/20/2026, Staff 1 stated that their procedures following a fall were not completed. Staff 1 confirmed that Resident 1 did not receive immediate medical attention after an incident, specifically a fall, occurred on 04/17/2026.
Plan of correction
Staff Training and Compliance Action The following actions and outcomes were documented regarding Staff 3’s training, policy awareness, and employment status: • Staff 3 was trained on and acknowledged the proper procedures for responding to and reporting falls within the community. • Staff 3 stated that he was aware of the company’s policies and procedures but failed to comply with them. • As a result, Lansdowne Heights reported Staff 3 to the Virginia Board of Nursing and terminated his employment. Follow-Up Care and Medical Referral Despite the limited information provided by Staff 3, the oncoming nurse delivered appropriate pain management care to the resident in accordance with company policies and procedures. Based on the nurse’s follow-up assessment and the resident’s significant change in condition, the resident was sent for further medical evaluation. Ongoing Staff Education Lansdowne Heights will continue to provide staff orientation and follow-up continuing education meetings on fall procedures to reinforce expectations and promote ongoing compliance.
22VAC40-73-40-A
Based on resident record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure compliance with the facilities’ own policies and procedures.
Evidence
  1. On 04/20/2026, the facility reported that Resident 1 had an undocumented, unwitnessed fall that resulted in the resident being sent to the hospital on 04/19/2026. The follow up report, dated 04/29/2026, indicates that Resident 1 fell on 04/17/2026, and that Staff 2 and Staff 3 had failed to report the incident.
  2. On 05/20/2026, Staff 1 provided a copy of the Falls Protocol and Falls Protocol checklist. The protocol indicates that a head-to-toe assessment must be completed first, including LOC, pupils, injuries, behaviors, full set of vitals, and PMS in extremities. The second and third steps include addressing bleeding and/or wounds as appropriate. The fourth through seventh step indicate required contacts including the provider, 911, family or POA, and identified facility leadership. The eighth step includes documenting in the electronic record to include a detailed incident note, vital signs, and a falls form update. Follow-up should be completed at 24 hours, 72 hours, and seven (7) days.
  3. A written statement from Staff 2 states that a head-to-toe assessment was not completed. Staff 3’s statement indicates that vitals were not completed on 04/17/2026 or 04/18/2026. Statements written by Staff 2 and Staff 3 state that documentation of the incident was not completed.
  4. Resident 1’s progress notes did not include documentation of a fall on 04/17/2026, as confirmed by the written staff statements.
  5. Staff 3’s record included a termination notice, dated 04/21/2026, that stated Staff 3 was terminated due to not following facility procedures and protocol.
  6. In an interview with the LI on 05/20/2026, Staff 1 confirmed that Staff 2 and Staff 3 failed to follow facility policies and procedures related to falls protocol after Resident 1 had a confirmed fall on 04/17/2026 resulting in a fracture.
