Serious cites
0

Continuous Care Center Wheeling Hospital runs 4.40 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% above the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That weekday strength is real, but the schedule thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. That combination, a clean recent inspection in August 2025 and a five-star health inspection rating, sits alongside a two-star quality measure rating, which suggests the day-to-day care measures aren't matching the inspection results. A church-affiliated nonprofit owns the 144-bed home, and its staffing rating lands at three stars. The numbers point to a place that inspects well and staffs better than average most days, with some gaps worth asking about directly.

Wellsburg Healthcare Center sits at 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating with the most recent survey done in January 2025. The catch is the day-to-day staffing: 3.57 nurse hours per resident, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends running about 15% thinner than weekdays. That gap is why CMS gives staffing only two stars, and 18 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and one abuse-related. Turnover at 34% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. Strong inspections, thin coverage, the tradeoff is real.

Salem Center runs 2.95 nursing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday staffing. That shortfall shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, while the quality measure rating is a 5, the clinical outcomes look good even though the day-to-day coverage is thin. Turnover is 31%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The 37 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 112 beds.

Bridgeport Healthcare Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes nationally, 3.44 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That matters for a 60-bed building where a fall or an infection doesn't wait for Monday. Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces tend to stay. The record shows 24 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one tied to abuse, with a single $8,021 fine; inspectors were last in on April 9, 2026. Quality scores look strong, but the staffing star tells the harder story.

White Sulphur Springs Center runs lean on nursing hours, 3.10 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover, though, sits at 23.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 45 deficiencies, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and $59,233 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so that picture is current, not stale. Quality measures look strong on paper, but the survey history and thin daily staffing are the parts I'd ask about directly.

Berkeley Springs Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37.9%, better than the national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses stick around longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a health inspection star rating of 2 out of 5. Its last inspection was March 27, 2025, so that record is recent.

Willow Tree Healthcare Center runs 104 certified beds in Charles Town under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 54 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,018 and a survey completed in July 2025. Staff turnover of 39.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. A 4/5 on quality measures stands against 2/5 for staffing, which tells you where the pressure sits.

Webster Healthcare Center runs 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level, a pattern families often notice before any report does. Staff turnover sits at 49%, a few points above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your mother sees the same aides week to week. The inspection record is clean where it counts: ten deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last survey was February 2026. Fifty-two of the 60 beds are typically occupied.

Care Haven Center runs about 3.07 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The current record shows 28 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in January 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the home is weakest.

Hilltop Center runs lean on the floor: 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage is what sits behind its two-out-of-five staffing rating, even though the home keeps staff longer than most, turnover of 31.9% beats the 45.8% national figure. The record shows 30 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $22,562 fine. Its quality measures score well and inspections came in average, but with 120 beds and a January 2026 inspection, the question worth asking is how that weekday-to-weekend staffing gap gets covered.

Crestview Manor runs 72 beds in Jane Lew under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. The better news: turnover is 35.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, and a 4-star inspection rating with the most recent survey in February 2026 suggests the place is being watched closely. The record isn't spotless, 21 deficiencies, one at harm level, and a $42,266 fine, but nothing abuse-related.

Seneca Trail runs 3.37 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 16 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage shows up in the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a $9,949 fine. Turnover at 40.3 percent is actually a little better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem looks less like retention and more like how many hands are scheduled at once. The 5/5 quality measure score stands out against a 2/5 on both staffing and health inspections, which is worth asking about directly.

Cameron Healthcare Center runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership in Marshall County, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't just low on paper, they thin out further when families tend to visit. Turnover is the one bright spot: 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than average. But the current inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $131,164 fine and a March 2026 inspection. The quality measure score looks strong; the staffing and inspection side is where the concern sits.

Pierpont Center runs about 2.91 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing shows up in the 2-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 35.7%, better than the national 45.8%, so there's some consistency in who's on the floor. What stands out is the record: 60 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating despite the January 2026 survey being recent. The 5-out-of-5 quality measure score reflects clinical metrics, not hands-on care. A corporation owns it, and one $14,645 fine is on file.

Morgantown Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, roughly a 1% edge. That margin shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 51.6% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 47 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a CMS health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. Quality measures score better at 4 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was May 2, 2025.

Tygart Valley runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.50 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below what the building manages during the week. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and notice. Turnover sits at 39.6%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the crew that's there tends to stay. The inspection record shows 55 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or immediate jeopardy. Its last full inspection was in November 2025, so the picture is current. A 3-out-of-5 on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing across the board tells you this is a middle-of-the-road building, not alarming, not standout.

Wyoming Healthcare Center in New Richmond runs 3.78 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems surface. Turnover sits at 29.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The concerns are elsewhere: 32 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $268,733 fine. The most recent inspection was in November 2025, so that record is current. Corporate ownership, and a recent inspection that found serious problems, are worth asking about directly.

Valley Center runs 130 certified beds in South Charleston under for-profit partnership ownership, and its inspection record has held up reasonably well, a 4-star health inspection rating, a clean slate on harm-level deficiencies, and a survey as recent as October 2024. The staffing picture is where it gets thinner. At 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 42.3 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8, so the people who stay tend to stay. Two abuse-related deficiencies on the current record are worth asking about directly, along with how weekend coverage actually looks on the unit.

Hampshire Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.17 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because weekends are when families often visit and when residents spend long stretches without therapies or activities. Turnover sits at 31.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The inspection record shows 53 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, a category worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was in December 2025, so the record is current. Corporate ownership and a two-star staffing rating round out the picture.

Lewisburg Healthcare Center runs 3.65 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level, that's the pattern families notice when a Friday admission turns into a quiet Sunday. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate, so staffing instability here looks like the industry norm rather than an outlier. The bigger concern is the record: 49 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $16,149 fine. The quality measure score is strong, but that reflects charted care, not the inspection findings. A January 2026 inspection means the picture is current.
