This home is ranked 31st out of 38 homes in West Virginia.| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 29m per day | ▼ 31% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 3m per day | ▲ 15% State avg: 55m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 1h 42m per day | ▼ 18% State avg: 2h 4m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 34m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 3h 11m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 4m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 10m per day | ▼ 57% State avg: 23m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on July 28, 2025 identified multiple deficiencies related to resident dignity and respect, meal and ADL assistance, care plan implementation, wound and PEG tube care, staff competency, and medical record accuracy. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues, including infection control lapses, insufficient staffing, inadequate wound and pressure ulcer care, and environmental concerns. Several complaint investigations substantiated deficiencies in resident care, documentation, and staff training, though fines or license actions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, with neglect and inadequate care frequently noted, but some complaints were unsubstantiated. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with recurring themes in resident care and staff competency, indicating ongoing challenges rather than clear improvement.
