Assisted Living Facilities Lawyers in Virginia

  • Types of Assisted Care Facilities   
    Description: Adults who need full-time health care are usually placed in nursing homes. Nursing homes are subject to much stricter federal and state regulations than adult homes and must be staffed with nurses. Nursing homes fall under the jurisdiction of the Virginia Department of Health. The state inspectors make announced and unnannounced visits to nursing homes.
