Serenity Assisted Living, also known as Serenity Care Home, sits about 2.7 miles outside Buckhannon, West Virginia on Little Sand Run Road, offering a medium-sized community with 30 state-licensed beds for seniors. This place provides long-term and short-term respite care so caregivers can get a break, with help ranging from daily activities like bathing, dressing, toileting, medication management, meal preparation, and transfers to memory care and home care services for those who need a hand with more complex needs. Women from the local area, who care deeply about their work, run the facility, which adds a kind of warmth and steadiness you notice right away, making it feel more like a true home with kindness and welcoming touches in every corner, and that's helped along by the caring staff always nearby, 24-hour supervision, a call system for emergencies, and a secure property for safety.
Residents can pick from studio layouts, shared rooms, or 2-bedroom apartments, all fully furnished with private bathrooms, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and telephone, internet, and cable TV service, so each person can find something that fits their needs without worrying about maintenance, cleaning, or repairs, since there are full housekeeping, laundry, and linen services to keep things tidy. The kitchen provides meals and dining services that change to meet special diets, including adjustments for diabetes, hypertension, allergies, and more, while nutritional guidance is always available.
The community helps residents stay active by offering a steady schedule of community-sponsored and resident-led activities, including fitness programs, workout classes, crafts, music plans, movie entertainment, animal and music therapy, tabletop games, outside trips, and night events, plus there are group areas, a book room, arts room, game rooms, a barber and salon, and spaces outside like a garden, walking paths, patios, a jacuzzi, sauna, and yard where people can spend time or just relax. There's also mental wellness support, including counseling and regular programs to keep residents engaged socially and mentally, and transportation is arranged for appointments or errands.
Serenity Assisted Living operates under West Virginia licensure, with personalized attention aimed at helping each senior keep as much independence and autonomy as possible while getting daily support with health care, medication, hygiene, and lifestyle needs in a setting that's safe, quiet, and homelike. The facility works with local health providers and maintains 24-hour staffing, so care needs can usually be met as they change, making it a practical option for seniors looking for support, comfort, and a sense of security in their later years.
