Garrett County Subacute Unit is a ten-bed for-profit home in Oakland, and its staffing numbers are the story here. At 9.45 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly two and a half times the national average, and turnover sits at 35.3%, below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for a small facility where one departure is felt. The trade-off is weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level. Inspections back up the rest: a clean current record of eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in August 2025. Five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing is rare company.

Fairmont Medical Center runs 30 beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.33 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 38% more hands-on time than the typical home, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly flat. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Six deficiencies are on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2025. All three CMS star ratings, inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Nurse staffing here runs at 7.57 hours per resident per day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, and that holds across a five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 24.1% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Fourteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection completed July 31, 2025. Quality measure scores land mid-range at three stars, suggesting clinical outcomes don't match the staffing strength quite as neatly.

St. Joseph's Hospital in Buckhannon runs 5.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 49% above the national average of 3.86, and it holds onto that staff, with turnover at 10.5% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 17% below its own weekday level, a real gap even at this staffing level. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. It's a small 16-bed nonprofit unit inside a hospital, so read the quality measure score of 3/5 as the softer spot and the staffing and inspection record as the strong ones.

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.

Weirton Medical Center runs a small 33-bed unit, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4 out of 5 on health inspections with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in at 2.50 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third lighter, and weekends drop about 38% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover of 63.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through regularly. Three abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record. Good surveys can reflect a single visit; staffing numbers reflect every day in between.

Ohio Valley Health Care runs 66 certified beds in Parkersburg under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $21,580 fine. Quality and staffing measures both land at 1 out of 5 stars, though the last inspection was recent, in March 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask directly about weekend nurse coverage and how that abuse citation was resolved.
