CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment. CCRC( (Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC)):
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The West Virginia average is: 47.8% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Tabor Hills

Tabor Hills sits on Crystal Ave in Naperville, Illinois, a 96-bed community that combines nursing home care with assisted living and independent living under one roof. The building is two stories, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. It’s not a walking neighborhood; the Walk Score sits at 21, so getting anywhere means a car.

Occupancy runs at 62.2%, and the average resident stays around 62 days, a stay length short enough to suggest a real share of rehab or recovery cases moving through rather than only long-term residents. Nursing coverage backs that up: residents get about 4 hours and 34 minutes of total nursing care per day, with close to 2 of those hours coming from registered nurses specifically, not just aides.

Money matters get handled through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into one option. Pets are welcome too, a small detail that can carry real weight for someone leaving a longtime home behind.

John Bozett owns Tabor Hills. What stands out about this place is the range: nursing care, assisted living, and independent living all exist inside the same address. For a family trying to plan ahead, that kind of range means a resident’s needs can shift without forcing a search for an entirely new building somewhere else.

Madison Center

161 Bakers Ridge Rd, Morgantown, WV 26508
Overview of Madison Center

Operated by 825 Summit Street Operations, LLC, Madison Center is a small, single-story nursing home located on Bakers Ridge Road near Morgantown, West Virginia. The community is administered by Jamie Haas and opened in 2025. It currently serves 62 residents in private and semi-private rooms. Families can choose from Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay to cover the cost of care.

The community has an occupancy rate of 95%. Residents stay an average of 49 days. This relatively short stay includes a mix of post-acute rehabilitation and ongoing nursing care. The surrounding area is car-dependent because it’s a rural setting near Morgantown.

Nurse staffing averages 2 hours and 49 minutes per resident daily. This includes 34 minutes from registered nurses, along with support from nurse aides and licensed practical nurses or licensed vocational nurses. This provides consistent hands-on assistance with daily activities and medical needs.

State inspections have focused on operational and care-delivery processes, including care planning, medication management, and infection control protocols. Survey results released recently show the community is meeting state standards. Corrective measures were undertaken to address prior findings. Families who are considering Madison Center should ask about the community’s commitment to quality assurance and how it supports its care systems as a new facility.

Overview of Morgantown Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

Morgantown Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center provides nursing home and skilled nursing care in Morgantown, WV, along with memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Skilled nursing means licensed nurses are available on site around the clock. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Hospice care supports residents receiving care at the end of life, while palliative care focuses on comfort alongside serious illness. Respite care is a short stay, so the center may suit a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. There are 100 beds, and total nurse staffing is 2 hours and 45 minutes per resident per day, representing the recorded daily nursing time allocated to each resident.

Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. Medicaid can help when a resident’s savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Private pay means the family pays directly.

Rehabilitation services are available at the center, allowing residents to receive rehabilitation without arranging care at another location. A salon, barber, and transportation are available for grooming and travel needs. MORGANTOWN Heights of Journey operates the center, and Sheila Jones-Marino serves as administrator.

A Walk Score of 43 places the area in a car dependent setting, where most errands require a car or a ride.

Overview of Paramount Senior Living at Bethel Park

Paramount Senior Living at Bethel Park runs 125 beds across a three-story building on Baptist Road in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The care lineup is broad: nursing home care, assisted living, hospice, independent living, memory care, and respite care all live under one roof. That means a resident could, in theory, move through several stages of need without changing addresses.

Walkability sits on the lower end, Walk Score 34, so most errands here mean getting in a car rather than walking down the block. Occupancy runs at 78%, with 98 of the 125 beds currently filled, numbers that put this comfortably in the range of an established, actively operating community rather than a newer or struggling one.

Clinically, the ratio here is one nurse to every 24 residents, backed by staff around the clock. The wellness program goes deeper than a typical rehab offering: full physical therapy services, licensed therapists, and dedicated post-stroke and post-surgical tracks sit alongside restorative care. Add in specific programs for Alzheimer’s and dementia, skilled nursing, and outpatient rehab, and the medical infrastructure here looks built for residents with real, ongoing care needs, not just daily living support.

Life outside the clinical side includes a fitness center, barber and spa access, garden and patio space, and a private dining option alongside the main dining room, plus a steady calendar of social, educational, and spiritual programming with group transportation built in. State inspections here have tended to center on medication management and dietary and food service rather than broader care concerns.

Mr. James Cox owns the community, operating as Paramount Senior Living at Bethel Park LLC. Between the six-way care continuum, the nurse staffing ratio, and the depth of the rehab program, this reads as a facility built for residents whose medical needs run higher than a standard assisted living setting can typically support.
