Overview of E.a. Hawse Healthcare Center

E.a. Hawse Healthcare Center is a nursing home and a multi-service healthcare community in Baker, West Virginia, serving Hardy County and nearby rural communities since 1981. Owned and operated by Route 55 Leasing Co., LLC and administered by Pauline Vance, the community offers comprehensive care options, including skilled nursing, medical, dental, behavioral, health, and pharmacy services, making it one of the more care-equipped communities in the area. The community is certified under a nursing home license (License No. 108) for 60 beds and accepts Medicare and Medicaid.

With around 53 beds occupied out of 60, the community’s occupancy rate of approximately 88% is in line with West Virginia’s state average. While availability may be limited, it is not constrained; families with an immediate need for placement are encouraged to inquire early for assessment. Additionally, the West Virginia Office of Health Facility Licensure has inspected the community 12 times, citing 115 deficiencies throughout its inspection history. The most recent inspection, dated January 28, 2025, was prompted due to a formal complaint, making it a complaint investigation rather than a routine scheduled review.

Compared to most rural nursing communities, the community offers comprehensive, integrated health offerings. Along with 24-hour staffing and skilled nursing care, on-site medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services are also provided. For those in Hardy County and nearby rural areas with limited access to healthcare, the community’s wide range of care options and integrated health offerings is a practical option. With its established presence and over four decades of providing care in the locality, the community is a familiar and trustworthy option compared to newer communities.

With its 60-bed scale, E.a. Hawse Healthcare Center supports a more personalized approach to care compared to larger institutional communities. Additionally, the community’s rural setting also appeals to those looking to remain close to home. The community’s decades-long operational history, as well as comprehensive, integrated healthcare services, is well-suited to the region that prioritizes continuity of care.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 42m per day ■ Avg State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 43m per day ▼ 22% State avg: 55m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends.
