All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Morgantown,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
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.
Sundale Nursing Home runs a tight ship on staffing relative to most places, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair under the national average, and a turnover rate of 35.1% that sits well below the typical 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though three are abuse-related, which deserves a direct question to the administrator. That January 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust. Where this home gives ground is quality measures, scoring 2 out of 5, so ask how they're tracking things like falls and infections.
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.
Morgantown Heights Of Journey runs 100 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are the ones families can't easily see from a brochure. Nurses provide about 3.09 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 20% below the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops another 15% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 67.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new or on their way out. The current record carries 83 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm level and 8 tied to abuse, with a $148,460 fine. The last inspection was September 2025.
