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 (6)

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
Apr 9, 2026	F · Potential for harm, facility-wide	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.
Oct 16, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility admitted a resident without a doctor's order, or did not make sure each resident stayed under a doctor's ongoing care.
Nov 2, 2022	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not protect residents' personal information or did not keep complete, accurate medical records that meet professional standards.
Nov 2, 2022	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility's quality committee — the internal group responsible for finding and fixing care problems — did not have the required members or did not meet at least every three months.
Nov 2, 2022	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft to the proper authorities quickly enough, or did not report the results of its investigation.
Nov 2, 2022	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not accurately assess a resident's health and needs. Assessments are the foundation for all the care a resident receives.

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)	6.71	3.55	3.95	top 2% in West Virginia; top 2% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	1.54	0.70	0.69	top 3% in West Virginia; top 4% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	5.46	3.07	3.50	top 2% in West Virginia; top 3% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.69	0.40	0.48	top 7% in West Virginia; top 16% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	20.0	44.1	45.8	top 2% in West Virginia; top 3% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	40.0	42.4	42.9	top 46% in West Virginia; top 46% 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 5.76, RN 1.32, weekend 4.69. 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: 5/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
