Wyoming Healthcare Center sits next to the high school in New Richmond, WV, close to fishing, kayaking, and hiking at the Hatfield & McCoy trails and Twin Falls State Park, with a company called Health Care Facility Management, LLC running things since April 2023, and the place is part of Communicare Health, which is known for post-acute care across the country. This skilled nursing facility offers 60 certified beds, usually keeping only a few open at any one time, and serves people who need advanced help like bathing, dressing, medication management, walking with special equipment, or getting in and out of bed, with round-the-clock supervision, a 24-hour call system, and plenty of attention through a nurse-to-resident ratio that averages about 3.81 nurse hours per person, but nurse turnover is high, higher than even the state average. Folks find both private and shared rooms, some with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and telephones, and there's also emergency alert systems to help keep people safe.
If someone needs rehabilitation, Wyoming Healthcare Center offers both short-term and long-term options, so you'll find physical, occupational, and speech therapy services, plus memory care, wound care, ventilator care, and palliative or hospice care as needed. The staff uses specialized equipment to help with rehab and therapy, and residents can join transition programs between the hospital and home, with regular involvement from families in deciding care plans, all with the goal of improving quality of life through strong medical care and regular activities. Meals can be had all day, with options for allergies and special diets, a dining room, and even a professional chef in charge, but there have been some serious problems found with how nutrition and dietary services are run, alongside other deficiencies tied to protecting residents from abuse, neglect, and infection, with 43 deficiencies found and a sizeable fine after an inspection in March 2024, so folks thinking about staying here should know about these issues, which are listed in state and federal reports. Wyoming Healthcare Center is licensed and accredited and takes both Medicaid and Medicare, so different kinds of payment work.
Residents stay busy if they want, since there's a garden, activity room, music programs, a fitness room, wellness areas, library, movie theater, game and arts rooms, and outdoor programs with staff-run and resident-run activities-like bingo, crafts, therapy dog visits, and holiday parties-plus massage or sauna-type wellness rooms. Services go beyond medical care, with help for laundry, housekeeping, moving in, and support for families, along with transportation and parking for both residents and visitors. The grounds are spacious, with plenty of outdoor spaces to sit or walk, and there's a good focus on making daily life comfortable, safe, and as enjoyable as possible, though the high turnover in nursing staff, the history of deficiencies, and the large fine mean it's important to keep an eye on current inspection reports if someone's considering this place, since the company has had some trouble meeting all the standards expected from a senior care home.
