TEAYS VALLEY CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Teays Valley Center in Hurricane, West Virginia, has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #118 out of 122 nursing homes in the state places it in the bottom half, and it's the second-best option in Putnam County, suggesting limited choices for families. Unfortunately, the facility's performance is worsening, with issues increasing from 12 in 2023 to 19 in 2024. Staffing is somewhat of a strength, rated 2 out of 5 stars with a turnover rate of 42%, which is slightly better than the state average. However, they have accumulated $24,948 in fines, which is average for the area, and there are serious concerns, such as failing to provide residents with liquids in the correct consistency, putting them at risk for aspiration pneumonia, and inadequate staff training that could potentially impact all residents. Overall, while some staffing aspects are positive, the facility faces critical issues that families should carefully consider.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Teays Valley Center?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations and the below-average staffing rating.

While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Teays Valley Center on Any Federal Watch List?
TEAYS VALLEY CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
