Wyoming Healthcare Center

Wyoming Healthcare Center is a small home with 60 certified beds and about 56 residents on an average day. That is close to full, so call to check whether a bed is open before you count on it.

The building's programs page lists physical, occupational, and speech therapy, a hospice and palliative-care partnership, wound care handled by dedicated physicians, and complex medical and post-surgical care. It does not list a dementia or memory-care unit, on-site dialysis, or respite (short caregiver-relief) stays, so ask the team directly if you need any of those.

It is part of the CommuniCare family of companies, a for-profit network of about 121 nursing homes across several states. Nearby homes in the same network include Mercer Healthcare Center in Bluefield and Glenwood Healthcare Center in Princeton. The building is organized as a for-profit corporation.

Government reviewers rate it 3 out of 5 stars overall. Staffing and quality-of-care measures each earned 4 stars, and health inspections earned 3 stars. Inspections reflect what state surveyors found on site, staffing counts nurse and aide hours per resident, and quality measures track resident health outcomes. Long-stay quality measures are especially strong here, at the top score. These ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — a regulatory measure, not family reviews.

One large fine of about $268,733 is on file, and one penalty is recorded. A fine that size usually follows a serious survey finding, so ask the home plainly what it was for, when it happened, and what they changed afterward. Counterweights to weigh: the home reports no payment denials, both a resident and a family council, and relatively steady staff, with about 27% of registered nurses and 30% of all nursing staff turning over in a year.

The admissions page says the home offers around-the-clock admissions, is certified for both major government health-coverage programs, accepts most major managed-care plans, and takes private pay. It does not list a veterans (VA) contract, so if you are a veteran, ask whether that coverage can be arranged. Plans change, so confirm your specific coverage before you commit.

Call the building at 304-294-7586 to reach admissions, ask about openings, and arrange a tour; the home is at 236 Warrior Way in New Richmond. The building's own page also lists 304-294-7584 as a contact line, so if one number does not connect, try the other.
