About Holbrook Healthcare Center
Holbrook Healthcare Center is a skilled nursing home in Buckhannon, West Virginia, in Upshur County. Skilled nursing means licensed nurses are on staff around the clock. It is a larger home with 120 certified beds and about 105 residents on a typical day. Its own service list covers physical, occupational, and speech therapy for short rehab stays after a hospital visit; wound care handled by dedicated physicians; cardiac and pulmonary care; help recovering after surgery; and rehabilitation for the brain and nervous system. For longer stays it lists dementia and Alzheimer's care, hospice and palliative support through partners, and short respite stays that give a family caregiver a break. It is run for profit and is part of the CommuniCare family of companies, a post-acute network of about 121 homes across six states. This home has real quality concerns families should weigh. In the government's star ratings it earns 1 out of 5 stars overall, with 1 star for health inspections (18 issues in the last cycle and two fines totaling about $79,000) and 1 star for staffing, where nurse turnover is high and three administrators have left. Quality measures are the steadier area at 3 stars, and the home reports both a resident council and a family council, which give residents and families a formal voice. There is no abuse warning on its record. On a tour, ask directly about the inspection findings, how the home is fixing them, staffing levels on each shift, and turnover. Buckhannon is in Upshur County in north-central West Virginia; other CommuniCare homes in the state include Kingwood Healthcare Center in Kingwood and Clarksburg Healthcare Center in Clarksburg. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and required reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.

Answers for families

For longer stays it lists dementia and Alzheimer's care, hospice and palliative support through partners, and short respite stays for caregivers who need a break. Always confirm a specific service is available before you decide.
What do the government ratings say about quality?
This is the most important area to look at closely. The home earns 1 out of 5 stars overall, with 1 star for health inspections and 1 star for staffing. The last inspection cycle found 18 issues, and the home has two fines totaling about $79,000. Quality measures are steadier at 3 stars, and there is no abuse warning on its record. Ask the staff what the inspection findings were and what they have changed since.
What is staffing like here?
Staffing is rated 1 star. Registered-nurse turnover is high, meaning many nurses have left and been replaced, and three administrators have left the building. Ask how many nurses and aides are on duty on days, evenings, weekends, and overnight, and how the home keeps care steady when staff turn over.
Who operates this facility?
It is part of the CommuniCare family of companies, a post-acute care network of about 121 homes across six states. In federal records it is listed as a for-profit corporation. Other CommuniCare homes in West Virginia include Kingwood Healthcare Center in Kingwood and Clarksburg Healthcare Center in Clarksburg.
What do the government star ratings show?
It earns 1 out of 5 stars overall. Health inspections are 1 star, staffing 1 star, and quality measures 3 stars — with short-stay rehab quality at 3 stars and long-stay quality at 4 stars. The home reports both a resident council and a family council. Star ratings come from official government inspections and required reporting, not from family reviews.
What does it cost and which insurance is accepted?
The home's admissions page lists 24/7 admissions, private-pay options, and says it is a VA Contracted Center, which can matter for veterans and their families. It is certified for both major public health-coverage programs, and the page says it has contracts with most managed-care and commercial plans. Call 304-472-3280 to confirm your specific plan.

How to read these scores
Every licensed and certified nursing home is scored from 1 to 5 stars using the same government data: on-site health inspections, staffing levels, and measures of how residents do over time. 5 is much better than average; 1 is much worse. The percentile shows where Holbrook Healthcare Centerlands against other homes — a low score doesn’t always mean bad care today, and a high score isn’t a guarantee, but it tells you what to ask about. Visiting in person is still the best test.
The most recent inspection cycle found 18 deficiencies. Over the past three years, this facility paid 2 fines totaling $79,108.
What are deficiencies and fines?
When inspectors find a rule not being met — anything from paperwork to resident care — they record a “deficiency,” and the facility has to fix it. Most nursing homes have at least a few. Fines are money penalties for more serious or repeated problems. Many deficiencies or large fines are worth asking about when you visit.
