Homewood Living Martinsburg has been serving older adults for over 90 years, offering a range of care and housing from independent living cottages and apartments to assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and even hospice and respite services, so folks can move between levels of care without having to leave the community, and while there's not a lot of detailed information available about the facility itself, one will see spacious options for living, from two-bedroom cottages with handicap-accessible bathrooms to apartments with private baths, Wi-Fi, cable TV, patios or balconies, and typical home appliances-there's a real focus on helping residents stay comfortable and as independent as possible with help always nearby thanks to a 24-hour emergency call system, on-site health support, and transportation options, which is important because there have been deficiencies noted for care planning and ensuring services meet professional standards, plus infection control issues found in inspection reports, so it's something that stays on one's mind.
Some staff like Buffy Bradley and Robin Stern have been managing the place since 2025 and 2019, and although there's a helpful, joyful, and kind atmosphere and staff are often praised for creating a welcoming place with high-quality activities, the nurse turnover rate sits at 24.6% in a year, with an average of 4.33 nurse hours per resident per day, which paints a picture of the care environment. Residents take part in fitness programs, movie nights, music events, and enjoy the indoor pool, spa, arts room, garden, bocce and shuffleboard courts, library, walking trails, game room, club house, and cafe, and there's even a unique dry cleaning drop-off, which isn't seen much in other places nearby, and outdoor areas like a lawn, picnic area, gazebo, and water feature add to the country-living feel, especially at Spring House.
Homewood Living Martinsburg is run by a non-profit corporation and has 129 certified beds, offers rehab and long-term skilled nursing, independent lifestyle apartments, and a continuing care retirement community model, so people aged 65 and up can plan for their future all in one place, and since it's maintenance-free living, residents don't have to worry so much about appliances or home repairs, plus, they get amenities like a business center, fitness center, bicycle storage, salon, conference room, and lounge, and the security features-controlled access and night patrol-help people feel a bit safer. Small and large dogs, as well as cats, are allowed, and there are long lease options, which means people can really settle in, and for those who need it, there are caregivers and 24-hour supervision, medication management, support with bathing and dressing, and special attention for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, including secure memory care to keep folks from wandering and getting lost, and meals aim to be nutritious, focusing on good quality ingredients and balanced nutrition.
Communities like this connect families to local senior care advisors for help and guidance, but it's important to note that in recent reports, managers and staff have faced inspection citations for things like not developing complete care plans on time and issues in infection protection, so families should weigh the friendly, active feel of the place alongside those documented concerns when considering Homewood Living Martinsburg.
