Who they are

You are looking at Pocahontas Center, a Genesis HealthCare skilled nursing building at 5 Everett Tibbs Road in Marlinton, West Virginia. It is a 68-bed sub-acute facility that has served this community for more than thirty years, with short-term rehab, long-term care, and respite under one roof.

More about Pocahontas Center

The rehab side runs physical, occupational, and speech therapy out of a fully equipped gym, and the place is set up to feel home-like, with daily activities for residents. If you come in as an experienced RN, you will see Unit Manager, Staff Development Coordinator, and Float Pool postings in the mix. Unit Manager work here means leading an assigned nursing unit, supporting the DON, and carrying staffing and clinical outcomes. Newer nurses have a Graduate Practical Nurse path on the board, with tuition assistance, career ladders, and education opportunities listed in the same materials that spell out health, dental, vision, 401K, PTO, EAP, on-demand pay, and related discounts. The building holds a 2023 AHCA/NCAL Bronze Commitment to Quality award and is a We Honor Veterans Partner Level One community partner; the team also posted about 2025 awards from a WV and TN ceremony. Pay in public sources is still thin—one GPN estimate sits near $24 an hour but tags Romney, and a community post floated an LPN night contract near $1,700 a week—so you will want to confirm current rates when you talk to them. Plan on driving; Marlinton is small, transit is limited, and most errands are not walkable.

Home-like skilled nursing and rehab care for short-term, long-term, and respite stays, with a stated commitment to quality recognition and veteran-honoring partnership.

I came for the sign-on bonus. I stayed because on my hardest night, my whole team stayed with me.
