Our read on Wythe Cnty Community Hosp Ecu

Wythe Cnty Community Hosp Ecu runs just eight certified beds, which puts it in a category most families never encounter, a hospital-based swing-bed operation rather than a traditional stand-alone nursing home. The staffing figure stands out: 8.67 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level. Six deficiencies sit on the current record, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a November 2025 inspection keeping things current. The for-profit corporate ownership is worth knowing about, but the inspection and quality measure ratings both come in strong, and the small bed count means care is concentrated.
