Oak Hill Place is a senior living community situated amidst the natural beauty of Fayette County, West Virginia, nestled in an area long celebrated as one of the best places to retire. Drawing inspiration from its picturesque surroundings—where the town itself was named for a storied oak tree perched atop a hill—Oak Hill Place embodies strength, comfort, and a sense of belonging for all its residents. The community is designed to provide both support and independence, tailoring customized care plans that thoughtfully match each resident’s personal needs. Spacious one-bedroom and studio apartments feature large closets, kitchenettes, and generous windows that bathe the living spaces in abundant natural light, promoting a cheerful and uplifting atmosphere.
Daily life at Oak Hill Place is enriched by engaging activities focused on promoting cognitive function, health, and social well-being. Residents can enjoy a wide variety of programs, including lifelong learning opportunities, digital technology sessions, and senior yoga, all crafted to meet trending interests and keep minds and bodies active. Outdoor porches are shaded and outfitted with rocking chairs, providing relaxing spaces for quiet contemplation or friendly conversation, while the resort-like dining room, which has been recently renovated, offers restaurant-style meals and the pleasure of staff attentively preparing favorite dishes. Comfortable lounges, casual bistros, and stylishly furnished common areas reflect a modern approach to senior living that goes far beyond the traditional concept of a nursing home.
The setting of Oak Hill Place encourages engagement with the wider Oak Hill community, offering opportunities for seniors to participate in local events, such as the festive Lacy’s Light Show at Fayette County Park during the holidays and the New River Birding and Nature Festival. Residents also benefit from close proximity to the New River Gorge National River, a favored destination for its stunning views and invigorating fresh air, particularly in the vibrant autumn months. Healthcare is a paramount concern, and Oak Hill Place is ideally located just a six-minute drive from CAMC Plateau Medical Center, ensuring timely access to advanced medical care and providing peace of mind for residents and their families.
Oak Hill Place offers a comprehensive range of care options designed to address evolving needs. Assisted Living includes both private and semi-private room choices, with services such as meals, medication assistance, help with the activities of daily living, laundry, housekeeping, health care supervision, and a full schedule of recreational opportunities. For older adults transitioning from hospital stays or for families who need temporary relief, the community also provides short-term respite care. Residents benefit from 24-hour onsite nurse services, healthcare management, restorative rehabilitation programs, and regular room checks throughout the night.
Specialized memory care is an important focus at Oak Hill Place. The Sage Program is dedicated to honoring residents experiencing memory loss, creating meaningful interactions and offering compassionate care through Sage Trained Employees who genuinely value each resident and their family. Daily programming through the Sage Program encourages participation in activities that bring purpose and fulfillment. For individuals in the early to moderate stages of dementia who require support beyond what Personal Care can provide, but are not yet suited for the full Sage Memory Care unit, the Transitions Memory Care Program serves as a supportive steppingstone, fostering a nurturing environment tailored to specific cognitive and functional abilities.
Central to the community’s philosophy is a mission-inspired, relationship-centered approach to care. Residents are offered a full calendar of opportunities that stimulate them physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially, while fostering the development of meaningful bonds of friendship within the community. At Oak Hill Place, everyone is recognized for their unique gifts and continued aspirations, regardless of age or stage in life. With a wide array of care packages and accommodation choices available, Oak Hill Place empowers each resident to live life with spirit, independence, and dignity.
