Homes where the federal record contains at least one of the following: a CMS abuse icon, Special Focus
Facility status or candidacy, or a citation scored at actual harm or immediate jeopardy. Ordered with
Special Focus homes first.
Read this as a prompt, not a verdict. A citation can be years old and the management

Cedar Ridge Center runs on 3.22 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 23% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 60.4% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 100 deficiencies, 10 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 9 abuse-related, plus five CMS fines totaling $149,858. Being placed in the Special Focus Facility program is CMS's own signal that this home needs close watching.
Brightwood Center runs 115 certified beds in Follansbee under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 60.4% against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are often new to the building. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, and the inspection record shows why: 50 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three abuse-related, and a $65,274 fine.
Bluestone Health and Rehabilitation is a 60-bed for-profit home in Bluefield, and the numbers here deserve your full attention before you tour. Nurse staffing sits at 2.98 hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends run about 12 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gap widens exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder problem: 77 deficiencies on file, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $76,979. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems.
Mountain View Care Center is a 120-bed for-profit home in Ripley, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. At 3.03 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 21% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 50.5%, above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of poor inspections. That record includes 59 deficiencies, one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $34,496 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025.
Summers Healthcare Center runs 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth below the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star inspection record carrying 62 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus $179,295 in fines. The federal government has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Turnover at 43.5% is slightly better than average, but it doesn't offset what inspections found.
Majestic Care Of Hopemont has 98 certified beds and runs a for-profit corporate operation, and its staffing numbers are the hard part to square. Total nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops about 6% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 94.8% against a national average of 45.8%. So the hours are there on paper, but the people filling them keep leaving. The inspection record shows 52 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with a $57,116 fine and a February 2026 inspection. CMS rated staffing 1 out of 5 and health inspections 1 out of 5.
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.
Trinity Health Care Of Logan has 120 certified beds and runs on 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real point in its favor, but the same federal data shows weekend staffing falling about 29% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover at 59.8% against a national 45.8%. Behind the numbers: 43 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $41,930. The last inspection was February 10, 2026. This is an individually owned for-profit home where the weekday coverage looks better than the record it's attached to.
Pine Lodge runs on thinner staffing than most homes in the country, 3.24 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below what the building manages on weekdays. That's the number that matters most, because it's when families visit and when there's less backup. The inspection record carries 53 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in May 2026. Turnover at 42.6% is slightly better than the national rate, which is a small point in its favor, but a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS tells you the federal reviewers see the same gap the hours do.
Putnam Center runs 120 certified beds in Hurricane under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits about 19% under the national average at 3.14 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends get thinner still, roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, while annual turnover hits 49.5% against a 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 73 deficiencies on the current books, including two at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. That combination, a one-star health inspection rating, a recent May 2025 survey, and staffing that trails the average while relying on a workforce turning over about half its ranks yearly, is what pulls the overall picture down despite a middling 3/5 on quality measures.
Rosewood Center runs 69 beds in Grafton under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.13 hours per resident day, about 19 percent under the national average, with weekends roughly 14 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover runs 44 percent, which is close to the national figure, so the problem here isn't churn so much as how few hands are on deck at any given time, especially Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the heavier issue: 74 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 7 tied to abuse, with a $14,433 fine and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but low staffing and that deficiency count are what a family should weigh.
Clay Healthcare Center runs 60 certified beds in Ivydale under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.14 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 41.7%, below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends thin out about 14% from weekday coverage, which is common but still worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. The trouble sits in the inspection record. Thirty-four deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, produced a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a $16,149 fine. That inspection was recent, dated May 2025. Strong quality scores and good weekday staffing don't cancel out an inspection history like that. Ask about those abuse deficiencies specifically before deciding.
