New Martinsville Health & Rehabilitation sits at 225 Russell Avenue in New Martinsville, WV and runs as part of Hill Valley Healthcare, working with a staff size somewhere between 51 and 200 employees, and you can find out more about them at NewMartinsvilleHR.com if that's of interest. This senior living community acts as both a nursing home and a residential care facility, offering different levels of care like skilled nursing, assisted living, dementia care, and rehabilitation, plus services like hospice and respite care for folks who need a break from their regular caregivers. They provide help with daily living tasks, manage medications, prepare meals, and make sure personal care needs don't get overlooked. They say their People First philosophy guides them and they're always aiming for quality care. They have a state-of-the-art rehab gym for advanced treatment, a well-stocked library for quiet reading, and outdoor spaces like a patio garden and a recreation area for fresh air, all designed so residents don't feel shut in. There's also a beauty and barber shop on site, transportation for medical appointments or small outings, and even spiritual support if that's important to someone.
Ashley Wensyel serves as administrator, and the facility holds certifications for Medicare, Medicaid, and Private Pay, with approval as a nursing home (NH) with dual SNF/NF certification, while having 100 licensed and certified beds and caring for about 92 residents on any given day. Staff provide skilled nursing 24/7, with a nursing staff rate at about 3.11 hours per resident daily, although they've got a nurse turnover rate of 34.2%, which stands out a bit, and they've dealt with a fair share of staff changes. Their care team offers wound care, orthopedic rehab, post-surgical help, pulmonary and bariatric care, cancer care, tracheostomy support, and therapies including speech, physical, and occupational therapy.
The facility's recognized for dementia care expertise but also has a track record that folks might want to know about-reports show they've had 55 total health deficiencies during inspections, including 3 related to infection control, and they've been cited for things like failures in food service and infection prevention, plus more serious concerns like protecting residents from abuse and neglect. They're labeled a Special Focus Facility Candidate, so government agencies watch them closely for past quality issues, though they haven't been formally flagged.
New Martinsville Health & Rehabilitation keeps its doors open to seniors needing short- or long-term care for physical or memory challenges, with a goal of helping each person reach their recovery potential in a comfortable, residential setting, and their staff are focused on both physical and emotional well-being, but inspection reports and government oversight suggest it's important for families to keep an eye on quality for peace of mind.
