Envoy of Williamsburg is in Williamsburg, Virginia. This city has a population of 85,370 people. With a rock bottom overall grade of F, this nursing home isn't high on our list. If you are not satisfied with this facility's rather poor overall grade, you will be pleased to know there are four other nursing homes in Williamsburg. Finally, we were surprised to learn that this facility earned a decent score in our nursing category. We provide additional information about this category below.

Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our nursing category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Finally, we also baked some quality measures into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in a few of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are typically good measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which ended up being one of its better category scores. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Given its abysmal grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home offers far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 39.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its inspection score. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular facility had a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had the potential to create actual harm to patients. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in that area. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 72.093025 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was also disappointing. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.24 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
