The community is operated by Marcy Farinacci and serves residents across Marion County. It accepts Medicare and Medicaid. The facility holds a 4-star CMS overall rating, driven by strong performance on Health Inspections and Staffing — both rated above West Virginia averages by roughly 64% and 69%, respectively.

The facility offers rehabilitation services, 24-hour nursing coverage, memory care programming, and on-site amenities, including a beauty shop, an outdoor patio, a resident council, and in-room and group activities. St. Barbara’s Memorial Nursing Home is best suited for residents seeking long-term nursing care or post-acute rehabilitation in a small, community-rooted setting. Its staffing depth and stable compliance record suit residents with moderate to high clinical needs.
