E.a. Hawse Healthcare Center

Nestled in the heart of Hardy County's breathtaking South Branch Potomac River Valley, E.A. Hawse Healthcare Center brings compassionate skilled nursing care to the families of Baker, West Virginia and the surrounding mountain communities.

Baker sits along State Route 55 in one of West Virginia's most scenic rural corridors, surrounded by the sweeping ridges of the Allegheny Mountains. Families visiting loved ones will find the area rich with natural beauty—Seneca Rocks, one of the most dramatic geological formations on the East Coast, is just a short drive away, as is the expansive Monongahela National Forest with its hiking trails and wildlife.

For medical needs beyond the facility, Hardy County General Hospital in nearby Moorefield—approximately 15 miles west—serves as the region's primary acute care resource, providing residents and families with confidence that higher-level care is accessible when needed. The town of Moorefield also offers groceries, pharmacies, and dining options along WV-220, making routine errands convenient for visiting family members. The Hardy County community is known for its tight-knit, agricultural roots and a strong tradition of neighbor caring for neighbor—values that are deeply reflected in the daily culture at E.A. Hawse. Communicare Health's commitment to quality outcomes, staff development, and resident-centered programming ensures that every resident receives not just clinical care, but genuine human connection. Whether a resident is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or in need of long-term skilled nursing support, E.A.
