How should Chesapeake families read these inspection counts?

The Chesapeake counts tell you where to read closely, not who is best; VDSS does not rate assisted living, and visit frequency varies.

In Chesapeake, every facility with a recent inspection had at least one violation notice posted, while the highest count was 12 inspections with violations. Open the reports for any building on your shortlist and look for repeated standards across visits; that pattern matters more than one bad day. Our guide to reading a VDSS inspection report walks through the format.
