Thank you for visiting our West Virginia list of assisted living facilities. This site in conjunction with the West Virginia Department of human resources is an excellent source for finding a great assisted living facility for yourself or for a loved one. The West Virginia Department of human resources site lists all the license assisted living facilities and also includes information about periodic inspections. We recommend that you use this in conjunction with our website to get the most complete information.

Our site includes details about amenities, cost, photos, maps and reviews. The information on this site is very useful in gathering together your long list of potential assisted living centers. Once you have gathered a list of local options, there are several factors that you can use to reduce this list. Since Medicare does not cover the cost of assisted living, costs are a significant part of the decision. The cost versus benefit analysis should include safety, amenities, social activities and convenience. It is best to visit as many assisted living facilities as possible to get the best understanding of the environment. A positive and upbeat environment can have a very reinforcing impact on the residents. Since many residents enter an assisted living facility after a fall, stroke or aneurysm, the future resident may not be in good enough shape to make the decision themselves. By analyzing all the possibilities and then using our checklist to bear your selection, you can find the best fit. You may also want to speak to the staff and residents in detail to get a better flavor of the environments at the assisted living community.
