Milestone Senior Living sits over on the fourth floor of the B building at 1824 Murdoch Avenue in Parkersburg, West Virginia, with a capacity for 42 residents and 18 secured Alzheimer's care units. This community falls under the licensed assisted living homes in Wood County and helps elderly adults who need some help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, providing round-the-clock staff and a 24-hour call system so someone's always nearby in case help's needed. Rooms come fully furnished, including studio layouts, telephone access, Wi-Fi or high-speed internet, and cable or satellite TV, and some units have kitchenettes, with housekeeping and linen service included. Milestone Senior Living welcomes pets, making it easier for people who want animal companionship, and the community is wheelchair accessible for people who need mobility support, which can make getting around a bit safer and less worrying.
People who live here can use common areas like the dining room, the arts room for creative projects, a community garden, beautiful outdoor paths, and gathering spaces for resident-run activities, scheduled daily events, and movie nights. There's an on-site barber and salon, regular housekeeping, and meal service with all-day dining and chefs who work with people on special dietary needs-whether that's a diabetes diet or allergies, staff keep track and prepare what's needed. Residents have both individual and community-sponsored activities, so there's a bit of engagement for folks who want something social but don't like too much fuss, and the community often arranges group outings or transportation for medical appointments. There's also move-in coordination for folks settling in, along with help changing addresses or handling the new routine.
Milestone Senior Living stays in close contact with local healthcare providers for regular health support, managing medications, arranging mental wellness programs, and coordinating care for memory support. The community offers specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care in secured units, with calm environments, special behavior management programs, and feeding help when needed, plus gardens and secure outdoor spaces so people can go outside safely. Services like bathing assistance, help with dressing, and support with daily living tasks are included, and staff provide supervision at all hours, which helps families worry less.
Though Milestone Senior Living has a review score of 5.8 out of 10, it tries to give seniors a comfortable, simple, and active life, especially for those who want to keep some independence but still need help with the everyday. Other related facilities in the area offer different care levels, from independent living at places like Putnam Howe Village to skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and hospice at nearby centers such as Parkersburg Care Center, Willows Center, Genesis HealthCare Willows Center, and Cedar Grove Assisted Living. The Wood County area, including Parkersburg, has several options for retirement and senior care, long-term living, respite stays, and specialized care, but Milestone Senior Living keeps a focus on assisted living, memory care, and helping older adults get by with enough support while still enjoying familiar comforts.
