With two nursing homes in the city, there are only a few options in Romney, West Virginia. This place's limited supply of nursing homes received a good city grade of B. We also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Cumberland. We found the nursing homes in Romney to be in a totally different league than the ones in Cumberland. This place's strong report card was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection scores, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
To go along with its great overall grade, we awarded Romney an A for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. In addition, the city also really excelled in the category of long-term care, where it received an A-. In the last two categories, this place were awarded a B- in our nursing category and a grade of D in short-term care. Obviously, short-term care proved to be its weak link, but a single bad category score shouldn't be over emphasized in your assessment.
