How to read a CMS 5-star rating

What the rating does and does not tell you.

A 5-star overall rating means a facility scored in CMS’s top band on the combination of health inspections, staffing, and quality measures — as of the last reported data. It is a useful starting point, not a verdict. Two 5-star facilities can differ meaningfully on their individual components and records.

Before choosing, also review each facility’s:

  • Recent inspections. the findings and dates of the latest surveys
  • Staffing. nurse and aide levels relative to residents
  • Citations. what inspectors recorded, and severity
  • Federal penalties. fines on record
  • Payment denials. a distinct CMS record type
  • Ownership. the CMS-reported ownership group

Every facility above links to its full CMS profile with these records, and you can put any of them side by side in Compare. Confirm current details on Medicare’s Care Compare and visit in person.

Frequently asked questions

How many CMS 5-star nursing homes are in West Virginia?

CMS assigns its highest overall rating — 5 stars — to 22 of the 122 rated nursing homes in West Virginia (about 18%), across 19 cities. All 22 are listed on this page.

Does a CMS 5-star rating mean a nursing home is safe or right for me?

No. A 5-star overall rating is CMS's summary of past data — health inspections, staffing, and quality measures — not a guarantee of current conditions or a fit for an individual's needs. SeniorCareRating.com does not independently rank or recommend providers. Read a facility's recent inspections, staffing, citations, penalties, and ownership, and visit in person before deciding.

How does CMS calculate the overall star rating?

CMS combines three components — health inspections, staffing relative to resident needs, and clinical quality measures — into a single 1–5 overall rating. It reflects past reported data. Some facilities are not rated when CMS lacks sufficient data.

How current is this list?

The ratings reflect the CMS data snapshot refreshed 2026-08-03. CMS updates ratings over time; confirm a facility's current rating on Medicare's Care Compare before deciding.
