PINE LODGE
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
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.

About This Facility
What is Pine Lodge's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns PINE LODGE an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within West Virginia, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Pine Lodge Staffed?
CMS rates PINE LODGE's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 49%, compared to the West Virginia average of 46%.
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.
Who Owns and Operates Pine Lodge?
PINE LODGE is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by GENESIS HEALTHCARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 120 certified beds and approximately 115 residents (about 96% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in BECKLEY, West Virginia.
How Does Pine Lodge Compare to Other West Virginia Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in West Virginia, PINE LODGE's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 2.7, staff turnover (49%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
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. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Pine Lodge Stick Around?
PINE LODGE has a staff turnover rate of 49%, which is about average for West Virginia nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
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.
