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

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

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 (9)

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 6, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not honor residents' individual preferences, choices, values, and beliefs in their daily life and care.
Aug 6, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not provide activities that meet residents' needs and interests. Nursing homes must offer meaningful activity programs, not just leave residents idle.
Aug 6, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	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.
Jul 3, 2024	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it.
Jul 3, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not give residents proper notice about what Medicare or Medicaid covers, or about charges the resident might owe for services that aren't covered.
Oct 4, 2022	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not give residents (and their representatives and the ombudsman, a state advocate for residents) proper advance notice before a transfer or discharge, including information about their right to appeal.
Oct 4, 2022	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not enter each resident's assessment information into the required format and send it to the state within 7 days of completing the assessment, as the rules require.
Oct 4, 2022	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not develop a resident's complete plan of care within 7 days of the full assessment, or the plan wasn't prepared, reviewed, and updated by a team of health professionals as required.
Oct 4, 2022	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.

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)	4.36	3.55	3.95	top 16% in West Virginia; top 27% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	1.53	0.70	0.69	top 4% in West Virginia; top 4% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	4.44	3.07	3.50	top 7% in West Virginia; top 13% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	1.53	0.40	0.48	top 3% in West Virginia; top 2% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	33.3	44.1	45.8	top 18% in West Virginia; top 20% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	31.3	42.4	42.9	top 30% in West Virginia; top 32% 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 4.41, RN 1.54, weekend 4.49. Staffing rating: 5/5.

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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: —/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
