What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5

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 self-reported quality measures.

All citations in the current public record (22)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
Aug 14, 2025	F · Potential for harm, facility-wide	The facility did not dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Aug 14, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not honor residents' right to voice complaints without discrimination or retaliation, or did not have a working complaint process that resolves issues promptly.

Aug 14, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards.
Aug 14, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not reassess a resident after a significant change in their condition, such as a sudden decline in health. A full new assessment is required when a resident's condition changes in a major way.

Aug 14, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.
May 7, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not respond appropriately to alleged violations, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Facilities must investigate every allegation and protect residents while they do. · from a complaint
Oct 11, 2023	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Oct 11, 2023	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

Measure	This facility	West Virginia avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	3.53	3.55	3.95	top 40% in West Virginia; bottom 38% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.65	0.70	0.69	top 46% in West Virginia; top 41% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.18	3.07	3.50	top 31% in West Virginia; bottom 41% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.60	0.40	0.48	top 11% in West Virginia; top 23% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	57.6	44.1	45.8	bottom 15% in West Virginia; bottom 20% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	61.1	42.4	42.9	bottom 19% in West Virginia; bottom 20% in the U.S.

Hours are per resident per day, 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 3.85, RN 0.71, weekend 3.47. Staffing rating: 2/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.

Quality measures rating: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
