The center maintained 69 available beds, which was four beds above the county’s average for that quarter. Its staff cared for an average of 63.8 residents each day throughout the reporting period.
Rosewood Center received an overall rating of 2 out of 5 from CMS, which was below the West Virginia average of 2.9 for nursing homes.
For the same quarter, Taylor Healthcare Center was Taylor County’s second largest nursing facility, offering 60 beds.
Rosewood Center incurred one fine totaling $14,433 and one penalty during the first quarter of 2026.
Both of the two nursing homes operating in Taylor County, West Virginia, were for-profit facilities.
U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the number of older Americans is rising while younger populations decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, residents age 65 or older grew by 13%, and those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The U.S. older adult population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million as of 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates nearly half of this population — about 28 million people — may need long-term services or support. The research also projects that over a third will require nursing home care at some stage.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
