ANNANDALE HEALTHCARE CENTER

6700 COLUMBIA PIKE, ANNANDALE, VA 22003

Annandale Healthcare Center presents a stark conflict: regulators gave it a 1.0 overall rating, yet residents experience better-than-average outcomes on quality measures and the people working here tend to stay. When you press the call button at 2 AM, there are fewer registered nurses on duty than the national average calls for, and serious falls happen more often than they should.

Greenspring Village shows a stark contradiction, with a 1.0 overall rating and 1.0 health inspection score alongside 4.0 ratings for staffing and quality measures.
