Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5 · how star ratings work →
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and quality measures from resident assessments and claims.
▲ Immediate jeopardy, isolated · Mar 12, 2025 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (J): Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety was cited. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.
Corrected: Apr 30, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, isolated · Mar 12, 2025 · F-0807 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide residents with enough to drink, or with drinks matching their needs and preferences, to keep them properly hydrated.
Why it matters: Dehydration develops quickly in older adults and can cause confusion, urinary infections, and hospitalization.
Severity (J): Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety was cited. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.
Corrected: Apr 30, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, isolated · Mar 12, 2025 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (G): Actual harm was cited, below immediate jeopardy. The scope was isolated: limited residents, staff, or locations were affected. Scope describes the extent of the deficiency, not whether it happened on previous inspections.
Corrected: Apr 30, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

| Measure | This facility | West Virginia avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 5.28 | 3.55 | 3.95 | top 7% in West Virginia; top 9% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.24 | 0.70 | 0.69 | top 6% in West Virginia; top 9% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.85 | 3.07 | 3.50 | top 15% in West Virginia; top 27% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.56 | 0.40 | 0.48 | top 17% in West Virginia; top 27% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | — | 44.1 | 45.8 | — |
| RN turnover (%) | — | 42.4 | 42.9 | — |
Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 4.99, RN 1.17, weekend 3.64.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (4.99 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.
Note: CMS combines facility-reported resident assessments (MDS) with claims-based measures. These are different sources from on-site inspection findings. Read the measures alongside inspection and staffing records; a high QM rating does not establish that a home is safe.
Quality measures rating: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
Price evidence · separate from quality
No verified facility-specific private-pay price is available in our data for Majestic Care of Lakin. CMS inspection and staffing records do not tell us what this home will charge you.
Use a written private-pay quote. This worksheet adds only the amounts you enter; it does not calculate Medicare, Medicaid or insurance benefits.
Formula: (room rate + daily extras) × days + one-time charges. A 30-day scenario is not a calendar-month quote. Refundable deposits, rate changes and charges you omit are not automatically included. Entries are not saved or sent to our server.
