Willow Tree Manor is located in Charles Town, West Virginia. This is a relatively poor nursing home, with an overall grade of D. If you are not happy with this facility's poor overall grade, you may find your options to be limited in Charles Town. The city has just one other nursing home. The only positive thing we can say about this place is that it didn't receive any F's in any of the categories we assessed. Additional information about its category grades is available below.

Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing rating of B-. When determining our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these datapoints. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric.

This facilities next most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it performed decently in this area, with 48.6 percent of its patients returning home.

This facility's third most favorable category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 93.38843 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.67 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Unfortunately, this facility did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a nursing home's government inspection reports. We weight poor inspection scores heavily in our assessment. Since the inspection reports are compiled by independent inspectors, we consider this data to be reliable. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies found by inspectors had the potential to pose actual harm to residents. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
