Federal agencies and the State of Virginia have a legal responsibility to monitor every nursing facility. If serious violations are identified, the government can impose monetary fines or deny payments through Medicare if the resident was harmed or could have been harmed by the deficiency.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Envoy at the Village Nursing Center for $9,227 on March 21, 2019, citing substandard care. The nursing home received eight complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation.

The state of Virginia and the federal government regularly updates its long-term care home database system with complete details of all deficiencies, citations, and violations.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and two out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to implement written policies and procedures for the prevention of abuse and investigation of abuse allegations for [one resident].”
The state surveyors interviewed the resident who stated that “she had two complaints. The resident stated first that an Aide had stated to her that she was going to punch the resident in the face. The resident stated she did not know why the Aide said that to her but stated that maybe it was dominance and stated that the Aide has continued working and providing care for her.”
The resident also said that “she did not like to have this Aide care for her due to what happened in the past. The resident then stated that she was also sexually assaulted by those girls in the shower room, by five or six girls, including the girl that stated she was going to punch her in the face.”
The resident said that “she reported to the Administrator the following day and the incident happened on the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift. The resident could not remember the date but did state that it was about a month ago.”
The resident also said that they reported the incident to the Social Worker. Although the resident could remember the name of the Social Worker and Administrator, “she could not remember the Certified Nursing Assistant’s name that assaulted her but stated what she thought the name was. The resident again repeated that it was on the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift and that she really did not want to take a shower that day but ended up going and that is what happened.”
The Administrator told the surveyors that “he was aware of the alleged sexual assault and [produced documentation of] the investigation.” However, when reviewing the investigation, the folder contained “only one typed document by the Director of Nursing.”
