Memory Care Communities in Charleston, WV

"I toured Brookdale Charleston Gardens for my mom. The facility was very clean. The staff interacted with the residents with proper respect. They didn't belittle the residents. They talked to the residents as if they were family. The residents were clean. All the areas that I visited were extremely well-maintained and very clean. Most of the residents there needed very little assistance, but then they also had an area for memory care."

"Harmony at Southridge is a new place. It's wonderful and beautiful. It's independent living, but they also have a memory care center and assisted living, so if my mother needs more care, it's available to her. The facility itself is just stunning. They just had exactly what she needed in terms of space, activities, and physical therapy. They have a salon, so she can have a place to go get her nails and hair done. She just really felt comfortable during our visit. It's nice, open, and they did a lovely job designing and decorating the space. She felt really at home. We went there three separate times to look at the apartments, and the woman who was in charge of that was just fantastic. They have two-bedroom, one-bedroom, and studio sizes, and she selected the two-bedroom, so she can have stay-in guests in her office. The designs are lovely. Every apartment has a balcony, some are closed, some are open, but they all have lovely views of the woods. The one-bedrooms have a cathedral feeling. You just feel like there's a lot of space. They got a neutral palette, and it's completely handicap-accessible in all apartments. They have a huge dining area that is open, airy, and comes with meal plans. She will get one meal a day or she can do more than that. She can go down and eat if she'd like, or they'll bring it up to her if she's not feeling well. They also have a bar that has pub food, and where they do holiday celebrations. They have an activity hall where they do all kinds of things, like the Easter eggs they had last week. They do crafts every week, they have a small movie theater, and a huge game room that has any kind of game you'd want to play. They sometimes have game nights too. They have a little area where people can come in and entertain the residents. They do that every month, and they give out this activity sheet, so there is something to do every single day."

"My husband moved to Celebration Villa of Teays Valley. Everyone I've come in contact with has been very professional and caring. He's only been there for three days. I don't see anything that I have a problem with. The staff is great. I was there with my husband when he was having his dinner. He ate everything on his plate. They do puzzles and stuff like that. It's more expensive than where he was before, but what he is getting and where he is at is as close as he is to me, his brother and his sister are worth every penny."

"My experience with Edgewood Summit was good. It's very clean, except that they allow people to smoke. The food is fair, and the staff is excellent. There's a salon, exercise room, and activities, like bingo, corn hole, golf putting, dances, and so on."

"My husband is living in Sweetbriar, and I love it. They have all kinds of stuff like church, singers coming in, and bingo. It's great. My husband's room is very clean."

"The tour I had at English Meadows Teays Valley was absolutely fantastic. We really liked it. It was top of the list. We were happy with the tour. I felt like I had stepped into a five-star hotel. The rooms looked comfortable and clean. Everything was very clean and smelled clean. I was very impressed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It felt very comfortable and very relaxed. It just felt like you were going to visit somebody and it felt like a home. If I choose somewhere to put my spouse, it would be there. This was my first choice. I can't say enough about it."
