Keyser Healthcare Center

It is a mid-sized home, certified for 122 beds, with about 111 residents on a typical day, so it usually runs close to full. If you need a bed soon, ask about the current wait list.

Its own service list names physical, occupational, and speech therapy for short-term rehab, plus long-term skilled nursing. It also lists care for medically complex needs, hospice and palliative support, pulmonary care, and medical and post-surgical care after a hospital stay. Confirm any specific service directly with the home.

This building's service list does not name a dementia or Alzheimer's care line, unlike some other CommuniCare homes. If memory care is what you need, ask the admissions team directly whether they can support a resident with dementia and how.

The federal rating program gives it 2 out of 5 stars overall, which is below average. Health inspections and staffing are each 2 out of 5 and quality measures 3 out of 5, with the score stronger for long-stay residents than short-stay rehab. There is one fine on record of about 53,900 dollars and a higher-than-typical inspection score. Ask the home what the fine was for and what has changed since. These ratings come from government inspections, not family reviews.

It is part of the CommuniCare family of companies, a network of about 121 homes across six states, and several CommuniCare homes in West Virginia carry the Stonerise name. In government records it is listed as a for-profit corporation. The nearest CommuniCare home is in Baker.

With below-average overall, inspection, and staffing scores, ask how many nurses and aides cover each shift, how nights and weekends are staffed, and what the home has done since its last inspection and fine. Registered-nurse turnover is about 29 percent. Also ask which insurance and payment options apply to your situation. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage with the facility before deciding.

The admissions line is 304-788-3415. The home says it takes admissions 24 hours a day and can meet families at the hospital or at home to walk through the process. We did not find posted visiting hours, so call ahead to confirm current visiting days and times.
