About This Facility
What is Pendleton Manor's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns PENDLETON MANOR an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which is considered average nationally. Within West Virginia, this rating places the facility higher than 99% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This mid-range rating indicates the facility meets federal standards but may have areas for improvement.
How is Pendleton Manor Staffed?
CMS rates PENDLETON MANOR's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 42%, compared to the West Virginia average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care.
What Have Inspectors Found at Pendleton Manor?
State health inspectors documented 19 deficiencies at PENDLETON MANOR during 2021 to 2024. These included: 18 with potential for harm and 1 minor or isolated issues.
Who Owns and Operates Pendleton Manor?
PENDLETON MANOR is owned by a non-profit organization. Non-profit facilities reinvest revenue into operations rather than distributing to shareholders. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 89 certified beds and approximately 76 residents (about 85% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in FRANKLIN, West Virginia.
How Does Pendleton Manor Compare to Other West Virginia Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in West Virginia, PENDLETON MANOR's overall rating (3 stars) is above the state average of 2.7, staff turnover (42%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (4 stars) is above the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Pendleton Manor?
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 Pendleton Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, PENDLETON MANOR 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 3-star overall rating and ranks #1 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 Pendleton Manor Stick Around?
PENDLETON MANOR has a staff turnover rate of 42%, 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 Pendleton Manor Ever Fined?
PENDLETON MANOR 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 Pendleton Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
PENDLETON MANOR 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.
