West Virginia: CMS Rating Breakdown
West Virginia operates 123 CMS-certified nursing homes across three ownership categories: 99 for-profit facilities, 20 nonprofit facilities, and 4 government-operated homes. According to current CMS data, the state's nursing homes carry an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.95 out of 5.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance rather than a definitive assessment of individual homes. The rating methodology has documented limitations, and state-level averages should not be interpreted as comprehensive evaluations of specific facilities or used as substitutes for medical, financial, or legal guidance. When making decisions regarding nursing home selection or care, individuals should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages on the CMS website to access current, detailed information specific to the home in question.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
