Nursing Homes & Senior Care in West Virginia

West Virginia is home to 123 CMS-certified nursing homes registered in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.95 of 5 stars.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data current as of May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Facilities are evaluated across multiple dimensions, including overall performance, health inspection results, and staffing adequacy.

Selection of a nursing home involves consideration of numerous factors beyond star ratings. Location, the type of specialized care required, an in-person visit to the facility, and direct conversations with staff members and clinical personnel all play important roles in the decision-making process. Individuals and families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any reliance on the Five-Star assessment. The ratings presented here serve as one informational resource among many that should inform nursing home selection.

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.

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.
