Mary Woelfel Assisted Living sits at 921 23rd Street in Huntington, West Virginia, and it's a small place that only has six assisted living units, so that means residents get more attention and know each other easily, and the staff can watch over everyone carefully without it feeling too crowded, which helps keep things quiet enough for folks who like peace and a homelike feel. The building's licensed under West Virginia license #507564 and they've got staff around all day and night, always ready to help with things like bathing, getting dressed, moving between rooms, or taking medicine, and help is there with transfers for those who find standing or walking tough, and they've even got feeding by spoon when someone needs it. The living quarters have private and semi-private layouts, including single rooms and studios, each already furnished with nice roomy closets, telephone hookups, cable or satellite TV, and WiFi too, so folks can keep up with their shows or family. Some spaces come with a kitchenette for those who want to warm up a snack or make a cup of tea, and the private or semi-private bathrooms are made with older bodies in mind and are ADA-compliant, so folks aren't likely to slip or get stuck. Meals are prepared three times a day, with choices that cover things like allergies or diabetes, and meals are served in the dining hall, but there's also all-day dining and snacks for those who like to eat on their own schedule, and a registered dietitian is always on the staff to help with special diets. People get their laundry and linens cleaned by the staff each week, and there's regular housekeeping to keep things fresh, so no one has to worry about chores.
Residents with health needs get seen by on-call nurses and caregivers day or night. There's help for those recovering from surgery or living with Parkinson's disease, and they even arrange therapy like speech or occupational work to help folks stay independent. The staff help monitor medical needs and handle medication, and they coordinate with doctors, handle pharmacy orders, manage diabetic care, and keep an eye on everyone's general health. There's 24-hour supervision for safety, with emergency alert systems in every unit. Transportation is set up for doctor's visits or other appointments, and valet service plus parking is available for family members who stop by.
The community runs daily activities, fitness classes, and even has a theatre for movie nights. There's a library and spaces for arts and crafts, group exercise, wellness programs, and plenty of scheduled events to give folks a reason to mingle. Outdoor spaces include a garden, greenhouse, courtyard, decks, and porches for fresh air or walks, and there's a café for snacks or coffee. Fitness and massage therapy are on the list, too. For those who want to take it easy, there's a reading room, HD TVs in common areas, and quiet spaces for relaxation.
For safety and peace of mind, staff are always within reach, and families get support and counseling if needed. The small size of the place means each resident usually gets a customized care plan meant for their needs. People who need help with incontinence, taking baths, handling medicine, or living with Alzheimer's get this support, and the community works to make sure everyone feels respected and at home. With six residents at most, everyone can settle in without feeling lost in a crowd, and the place avoids that busy, noisy feeling some bigger places get.
Mary Woelfel Assisted Living tries to make life easier by helping people stay independent as long as possible, with as much or little help as they need, in a simple, homelike, and comfortable setting where folks can feel part of a small community.
