River Towne Center is a very-large nursing home in Columbus, Georgia. We gave this facility an F, which is really a rock-bottom score in our grading scheme. Keep in mind that Columbus received a far more impressive city grade of B, so you should definitely consider other options in the city. We were surprised to find that this nursing home actually received one respectable category score for inspections, which you can find more information about below.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you it dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second best category is long-term care, but it still received just a D in that area. This ended up being a relatively poor score. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 84.15179 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we scored was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 2.4 percent of its patients returning home.
