West Virginia: CMS Rating Breakdown
West Virginia is home to 123 CMS-certified nursing homes. According to current official CMS figures, these facilities carry an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.95 out of 5. The facilities break down by ownership as follows: 99 are for-profit operations, 20 are nonprofit, and 4 are government-run.
The Five-Star rating system has documented limitations and should be understood as a relative metric rather than a comprehensive assessment of any individual facility. A statewide average serves as a broad indicator of the landscape but does not constitute a judgment on any particular home's quality or performance. When evaluating a specific facility for admission or care decisions, prospective residents and families should consult the facility's individual Care Compare profile on the CMS website, which provides detailed, live performance data tailored to that location. Such detailed review is essential for informed decision-making and should not be replaced by aggregate state-level figures.
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.
