What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lerona

Lerona is an unincorporated community within Mercer County, West Virginia. Seniors looking for a quieter area will appreciate the open space this rural town provides.

In West Virginia, assisted living facilities are referred to as assisted living residences (ALRs) are licensed through the state's Department of Health and Human Resources, Bureau for Public Health, Office of Health Facilities Licensure and Certification. To qualify as an ALR, facilities must provide care to four or more residents and advertise or operate for the sole purpose of providing personal services to those in need of assisted care. Seniors have three assisted living facilities available within Lerona and eight others in nearby towns.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lerona

  • The Lerona area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Princeton.

  • Seniors can save some money on their West Virginia taxes by taking advantage of the refundable Senior Citizens Tax Credit. Certain West Virginia employee retirement benefits are only partially taxed, but Social Security benefits that are federally taxed are also fully taxed by the state.
  • Lerona receives precipitation that equals the national average, with the exception of the extra inch of snow the community receives. Seniors adverse to the cold may struggle in the cooler climate with July highs reaching just 81 degrees Fahrenheit and January lows averaging 23 degrees.
