Join Virginia’s long-term care leaders in Norfolk for four days of education, networking, and innovation at the 2026 VHCA-VCAL Convention & Trade Show. The VHCA-VCAL Trade Show is a great venue for meeting with decision makers, purchasing officers, and others who work in Virginia’s nursing centers and assisted living communities. SMART can provide you with detailed information about survey results for nursing centers and regions via statewide and custom comparison reports for a range of metrics and user-specified date ranges. One of our favorite things every year is sharing stories about the residents and patients who receive care in VHCA-VCAL member nursing centers and assisted living communities.
