According to the public federal record on file with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), FRIENDSHIP HEALTH AND REHAB CENTER - SOUTH (CCN 495421), in ROANOKE, VA, has federal inspection findings on its record.
In its current inspection cycle, CMS cited the facility for 13 deficiencies; the most serious carries scope/severity J on CMS's A–L scale, a level CMS classifies as Immediate Jeopardy. Citations from earlier inspection cycles appear in the dated timeline below as historical findings, not current ones. CMS has $8,281 in civil money penalties on file against the facility. This page restates the federal record as published by CMS and draws no conclusion of its own. Federal nursing-home surveys are conducted on a recurring cycle by state survey agencies acting on CMS's behalf, and the figures on this page are compiled from CMS's published provider data, as on file with CMS; the federal record may understate what actually occurred, and inspection findings are point-in-time survey results, not a determination that any specific resident was harmed.

If something happened to someone you love at this facility, this federal record may be new to you today. The company that operates a nursing home, by contrast, is rarely seeing records like this for the first time — operators like these typically retain standing legal, risk, and insurance teams whose routine work includes records exactly like the one on this page. That is not a judgment of this facility; it is how the business is structured. Because strict time limits can apply, families often find it helps to have a qualified person review the record with them sooner rather than later.
