Is Bedford Co Nursing Home a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record
There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Bedford Co Nursing Home as of October 2026.
CMS rates it 4 out of 5 stars overall, above the Virginia average of 3.1.
Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.
Staffing
Nursing staff spend about 3.83 hours per resident per day at Bedford Co Nursing Home, above the Virginia median of 3.57 (US median: 3.72). About 0.47 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 3.47 hours, 10% below its all-week average. 97.6% of nursing staff left within a year (Virginia median 47.7%). High turnover can mean residents see unfamiliar caregivers; ask how long the nurses on the unit have worked there.
