Hillcrest Healthcare Center

It is a smaller home, certified for 90 beds, with about 88 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, dementia and Alzheimer's care, hospice and palliative support, and wound care handled by dedicated physicians, along with medical and post-surgical care after a hospital stay. Confirm any specific service directly with the home.

The home lists dementia and Alzheimer's care, but its pages do not describe a separate locked or secured unit. If a secured setting matters for your family member, ask the admissions team how the memory-care area is set up and staffed.

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 limited liability company. The nearest CommuniCare home is in Charleston.

The federal rating program gives it 4 out of 5 stars overall, which is above average, with 4 out of 5 for both health inspections and staffing and 3 out of 5 for quality measures. There are two past fines on record totaling about 25,600 dollars. These star ratings come from government inspections and reporting, not from family reviews, so ask the home what the fines were for and what changed.

Staffing and inspections both score 4 out of 5 here, and registered-nurse turnover is low at about 8 percent, which points to steadier staffing. Still, ask how many nurses and aides cover each shift, how the two past fines were resolved, and which insurance and payment options apply to your situation. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage with the facility before deciding.

The admissions line is 304-369-0986. 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.
