Martinsburg Healthcare Center

It is a mid-sized home, certified for 120 beds, with about 110 residents on a typical day, so it usually runs close to full. If a bed is what you need 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 dementia and Alzheimer's care, hospice and palliative support, respite stays for a short caregiver break, wound care handled by dedicated physicians, and 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 corporation. Nearby CommuniCare homes include Berkeley Springs and Willow Tree in Charles Town.

The federal rating program gives it 4 out of 5 stars overall, which is above average. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, health inspections 3 out of 5, and staffing 2 out of 5, with no fines or payment penalties on record. These star ratings come from government inspections and reporting, not from family reviews.

Staffing is the weakest score here at 2 out of 5, and registered-nurse turnover is around 50 percent, so ask how many nurses and aides cover each shift, how often residents see the same caregivers, and how nights and weekends are staffed. 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 304-263-8921. 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.
