About Nursing Home Care in Waverly
Waverly, VA, presents a limited nursing home market for families seeking care for their loved ones. The standout is Waverly Health Care Center, but it does not fully meet the standards that families should prioritize. With an average rating of about 3.0 stars and no major red flags, the options here are decent but not impressive. If you're looking for the best care, consider exploring neighboring cities for better alternatives.
Currently, Waverly Health Care Center is the only facility available in the area. While it has a clean record with zero fines in the last three years, it lacks some essential qualities families should look for, such as being well-staffed or a non-profit option. Unfortunately, there are no clearly recommended facilities in Waverly, so families may want to consider nearby locations like Petersburg or Sussex for more robust choices.
While there are no facilities with major issues in Waverly, families should still be cautious. Since there are no additional facilities to highlight as concerning, it’s vital to keep your expectations grounded. When visiting any facility, ensure to ask about staff-to-resident ratios and observe the interactions between staff and residents—these details can make a significant difference in care quality.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Waverly, 0 facilities score a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Waverly
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Waverly facilities average 0.29 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Waverly resident receives approximately 17 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
0 Waverly facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Waverly has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average. The absence of non-profit options in Waverly may be worth noting. Families seeking non-profit care should consider facilities in surrounding areas.
Ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Several for-profit facilities in Waverly perform well. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports rather than ownership type alone.
