Is The Madison a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for The Madison as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the West Virginia average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 34 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 3 penalties, including $47,773 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 5 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5.

Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.

Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 3.43 hours per resident per day at The Madison, about the same as the West Virginia median of 3.48 (US median: 3.72). About 0.77 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 2.91 hours, 15% below its all-week average. Ask how weekends are staffed. 20% of nursing staff left within a year (West Virginia median 42.3%).

Paying for care at The Madison: Medicare and Medicaid

The Madison is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet West Virginia's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.

Questions to ask on a tour of The Madison

  1. Inspectors cited the home at the immediate-jeopardy level on January 21, 2026 under the rule on quality of life and care. What changed afterwards, and can I see the plan of correction?
  2. CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5. How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
  3. Weekend staffing is 15% below the all-week average. Who is on duty on Saturday nights?
  4. Do you have a Medicaid bed open now, and will you admit someone whose Medicaid application is still pending?
  5. When is the first care-plan meeting, and can family attend?

Questions come from this home's CMS data: its inspections, staffing and ownership record.
