Overview

Pine Lodge in Beckley, West Virginia has a Trust Grade of C, indicating it is average compared to other nursing homes. It ranks #83 out of 122 facilities in the state, placing it in the bottom half, and #2 out of 3 in Raleigh County, meaning only one local option is better. The facility is showing improvement, with a significant drop in issues from 31 in 2023 to just 6 in 2025. However, staffing is a concern, rated 1 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 49%, which is average. There were no fines reported, which is a positive sign, and the RN coverage is average, suggesting some oversight exists. Specific incidents noted by inspectors included failure to provide regular showers and personal care to residents, missed administration of medications, and inadequate infection control practices. Additionally, there was a lack of updated staff postings and a failure to review essential facility assessments, which could impact resident care. Overall, while Pine Lodge has strengths such as no fines and a trend toward improvement, there are significant weaknesses in staffing and adherence to care protocols that families should consider.

The LPN told Surveyor, Reach it to me and I'll take it with me. LPN #36 had her hands full of a cup of water and mediation what appeared to be a cup of medication. LPN #36 nodded her head downward and had surveyor drop the Resident's inhaler into her right uniform pocket. The inhaler was then placed back into the medication cart with other mediations without disinfecting it. LPN #36 was not observed using any hand hygiene after placing the inhaler back into the drawer. Record review showed the following orders: -Advair Diskus Inhalation Aerosol Powder Breath Activated 250-50 mcg/act (Fluticasone-Salmeterol). inhale one (1) puff orally two times a day for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). -Droplet contact isolation every shift for COVID positive until 11/17/2023. During an interview on 11/12/23 at 3:00 PM, LPN #36 was asked if she cleaned the inhaler prior to placing it back in the drawer? LPN #36 stated, No, I forgot. I had those meds to give so I just opened the drawer and threw it in. LPN #36 confirmed she did not use hand hygiene after handling the inhaler before moving onto the next task. c) Donning/Doffing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Resident #167 Record review of the facility's policy titled, Infection Control Policies and Procedures, Contact Precautions, review date 05/01/23, showed that staff are to use barrier precautions prior to entering the room. PPE must be worn before contact with the Resident or Resident's environment. Before exiting the room, remove and bag gown and gloves and wash hands upon exiting. On 11/15/23 at 9:20 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) # 30 was observed donning a yellow cloth isolation gown and gloves to go in Resident # 167's room to give medications. LPN #30 was asked what the Resident was in isolation was for? LPN #30 replied, CVR or CRE or whatever, I think. Something in the urine. Surveyor walked off out of eyesight of LPN #30. When surveyor returned to Resident's room door, LPN #30 was observed at Resident #167's bedside taking isolation gown off while waiting for Resident to finish taking medications. LPN #30 laid the gown down on the Residents bed. Resident finished taking the medications and handed the med cup to LPN #30 for disposal. LPN #30 took the empty medication cup from Resident and removed her gloves. LPN #30 turned and saw Surveyor observing. LPN #30 then placed the isolation gown in a plastic bag, threw the med cup and gloves into the trash can, and exited the room. LPN #30 did not wash hands or perform hand hygiene prior to leaving the room or after exiting. During an interview on 11/15/23 at 10:30 AM the Administrator stated, The sad thing is Resident #167 isn't even on contact isolation anymore. Yes [LPN #30's first name] didn't use the PPE correctly but she didn't even have to use it at all. And of course, she should always use hand hygiene. Record review showed an order for Resident #167 for Contact Precautions for CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales) that had been discontinued on 11/13/23. d) Hand Hygiene Monitoring On 11/15/23 at 11:26 AM, the Director of Nursing stated no hand hygiene audits were present prior to November 2023. The DON further stated she had no idea if they were done or where the documents could be. The facility had been without an Infection Preventionist (IP) since September 2023, and the previous IP must have taken them with her or something. The DON stated when she realized they needed done, she started doing them in November when she can. Review of the facility's infection surveillance documents showed hand hygiene audits were completed for the month of November 2023 only. e) Clean Linen Transport Record review of the facility's policy titled Infection Control Policies and Procedures, Linen Handling, revised on 05/01/23, showed direction for facility staff to transport clean linen in covered carts or bags. During the initial tour of the facility on 11/12/23 at 12:46 PM an observation was made of housekeeping Account Manager #122 pushing a linen cart up the east hallway with no cover. Account Manager #122 stated this cart has the isolation gowns, I am delivering them to the COVID isolation carts. The Surveyor asked housekeeper #122, Where is the cover for the clean linen cart? Account Manager #122 stated That is my bad I forgot to cover the gowns. During an interview on 11/12/23 at 2:05 PM, Account Manager #122 stated I replaced all the gowns, wiped down the cart and placed clean ones in the isolation cart. I just wanted you to know I took care of the issue.

What Have Inspectors Found at Pine Lodge?

State health inspectors documented 59 deficiencies at PINE LODGE during 2022 to 2025. These included: 59 with potential for harm. While no single deficiency reached the most serious levels, the total volume warrants attention from prospective families.

The facility is operated by GENESIS HEALTHCARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Pine Lodge?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Pine Lodge Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, PINE LODGE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in West Virginia.

Was Pine Lodge Ever Fined?

PINE LODGE has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Pine Lodge on Any Federal Watch List?

PINE LODGE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
