Maplewood Healthcare Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
62%
Serious cites
0

Maplewood runs about 3.47 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly ten percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another twelve percent below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters more when turnover sits at 62.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent, nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff cycling out in a year, so the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one serious enough to risk harm or jeopardy; the last state survey was January 14, 2026. A single fine of $7,443 is modest, and the five-star quality measure rating suggests charted care metrics look good, but those measures reflect documentation more than day-to-day floor coverage.

Staff turnover

0

Madison, The runs 62 beds in Morgantown under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the main concern, 34 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to indicate actual harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $57,113. The good news is turnover: 20.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. But staffing still lands at 3.43 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families visit. That combination, thin weekend coverage against a long and sometimes serious deficiency history, is worth asking about directly.

River Oaks Healthcare Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

River Oaks runs 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 52.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are changing faster than usual. The health inspection record is the harder number to get past: 79 deficiencies, one abuse-related, and a 1-star inspection rating from CMS, though nothing on the current record rises to harm or jeopardy. The 5-star quality measure score reflects resident assessment data, not the staffing or inspection picture. The last inspection was December 2024. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Worth asking how they hold weekend coverage and what that abuse citation involved before deciding.

Stone Pear Pavilion

38%
Serious cites

Stone Pear Pavilion runs about 3.57 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage sits about 10% below its own weekday levels. That thinner weekend floor is worth asking about directly, since care needs don't take Saturdays off. The home's 38% annual turnover is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so leadership has held onto staff relatively well even with leaner hours. Where the record gets heavier is inspections: 35 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, zero at the harm level, and a two-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current.

Logan Center runs on 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 36.8%, well under the national 45.8%. But the current record carries 31 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus one tied to abuse, and $38,100 in fines. The last inspection was August 2023, so that record has had time to age without being refreshed. Quality measures score well; the hands-on staffing and inspection history are where the concern sits.

Nella's runs 100 beds in Elkins under a for-profit limited liability company, and its last inspection was in August 2025. The record shows 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, the kind of history that explains a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating even though quality measures score 4 out of 5. Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover at 44% is basically in line with the national rate. Two fines total $59,810.

Raleigh Center runs 68 certified beds in Daniels under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers show a home stretched thinner than average on the floor. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly a fifth below the home's own weekday coverage, that's when gaps tend to show up. Annual turnover of 49.2% edges past the national 45.8%, so the people providing care are cycling through steadily. The health inspection record is mixed: 38 deficiencies total, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse. Quality measures score well even as staffing scores poorly, a split worth asking about directly.

Huntington Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 186 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a building that's stretched. Nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage families count on Saturday and Sunday is thinner than what the home provides midweek. Staff turnover lands at 54.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The inspection history carries 54 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2026. Two of five stars on both health inspections and staffing tell you where the pressure sits.

Kingwood Healthcare Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, about 3.21 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday levels. That 2-out-of-5 staffing rating reflects it. The inspection record is different: 38 deficiencies, but none at harm or jeopardy level, and a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with the last survey in May 2026. Staff turnover of 45.1% sits right at the national average, so retention isn't the outlier here, hours per resident are. Corporate for-profit ownership, 120 beds. Worth asking how they cover a weekend shift before you decide.

Teays Valley Center runs about 3.16 nurse hours per resident each day, which is roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop another 17% below its own weekday staffing. That matters because the home carries 47 deficiencies on its current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse, and its last inspection was February 2026, so the record is recent. Turnover sits at 37.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and one fine totaling $24,948 is on file.

Marmet Center runs 90 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 10 percent below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record too, 70 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $72,205 fine. The one bright spot is turnover at 30.6 percent, well below the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. But the last inspection date of April 22, 2026 means what you see is recent, not stale. Ask about weekend coverage before you visit.

Complete Care At Dawnview runs 66 certified beds in Fort Ashby under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The clinical quality measures look strong, but staffing sits just under the national average at 3.81 hours per resident day, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is the bigger concern: 56.2% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections tell a similar story, with 35 deficiencies on record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus a $42,982 fine.

Pine View Center runs about 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the CMS staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5, while annual turnover of 50% runs above the national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses are cycling out faster than average. The inspection record is cleaner: 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026, and quality measures rate 5 out of 5. For-profit corporate ownership, 56 beds. The split is real, strong clinical metrics, but the daily coverage is where the risk sits.

Riverside Valley Of Journey runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families often visit. The current record shows 40 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. CMS gives quality measures 4 stars but staffing only 2, which is the tension worth weighing: the clinical picture looks steadier than the day-to-day coverage numbers do.

Mercer Healthcare Center runs leaner on nurse staffing than most homes, 3.56 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 13% below what the building manages Monday through Friday. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 80 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to trigger harm or jeopardy findings, plus seven tied to abuse. State surveyors were last in the building in January 2025, and CMS has levied two fines totaling $28,060. Staff turnover, at 44.5%, is roughly in line with the national figure, so that's not the story here. The pattern that matters is a for-profit corporate home with a long, recent record of cited problems and below-average hands-on care.

Fayetteville Healthcare Center runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 54.2% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family would see most are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record carries 40 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $46,232. CMS rated the quality measures 5 out of 5, which stands out against a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating, worth asking about directly.

Ravenswood Village runs on 2.91 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage matters more than the 41.3% turnover rate, which is actually a little better than the 45.8% national figure. The 36 deficiencies on record include no harm-level citations but one abuse-related finding, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. A 4/5 inspection rating sits next to a 2/5 quality measure rating, so the home gets through surveys reasonably well while its clinical outcomes lag. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

Miletree Center runs about 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday numbers. That staffing gap is the main thing pulling its profile down. Turnover sits at 44.7%, right in line with the national rate, so retention isn't the problem here; raw hours are. Inspections are recent, from August 2025, and the home carries 41 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. A for-profit corporation owns the 62-bed building. The staffing star comes in at 2 out of 5 while inspections earn 4, which tells you the care environment is safer than it is well-staffed.

Tygart Center runs on thin nursing coverage. At 3.06 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits roughly 21% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level, which matters, because that's when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record is heavy: 60 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Turnover at 41.6% is slightly better than the national rate, though that's cold comfort when staffing hours are this low. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was February 2026. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but quality measures are self-reported, staffing and inspections are where you see the real picture.

E.a. Hawse Healthcare Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Turnover is the bigger signal: nearly 70% of staff leave each year, against a national rate near 46%. That churn means unfamiliar faces, and it's likely why CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5 despite a 4 out of 5 on health inspections and 21 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level. Ownership is for-profit corporate.
