Is Westminster at Lake Ridge 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 Westminster at Lake Ridge as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Virginia average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 22 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $8,405 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 5 out of 5; for long-term residents, 3 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

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.

Paying for care at Westminster at Lake Ridge: Medicare and Medicaid

Westminster at Lake Ridge is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Virginia's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.
