Ravenswood Village sits in Ravenswood, WV, as a senior living community run by Genesis HealthCare, with many types of care and services for older adults, and you'll find names like Ravenswood Village Health Ctr on site, where they give skilled nursing, assisted living, short-stay, long-term care, and specialized supports like dementia care, orthopedic rehab, and ventilator care, plus they work with home health, hospice, and palliative care programs for more options as needed. The staff includes Director of Nursing Debi Lang, RN, and Medical Director Dr. Arif Malik, MD, who's spent over fifteen years leading there, so families know there's deep experience on hand, and Administrator Tanatha Amos also has a long background in healthcare management. The community's focused on keeping residents safe with active infection control, COVID-19 testing, and a 14-day admission observation period, though some rules ease up for those who get vaccinations, and people move between units with discharge planning and case management guiding the way.
Folks can live with their pets, as dogs and cats are welcome, and there's a pet therapy program and even bariatric care among their specialties, so people with different needs find a fit, and the whole place has a friendly, open feel since you see gardens and courtyards where residents gather, with private and semi-private rooms, private bathrooms, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and wireless internet for both residents and visitors throughout the place. Security matters stay careful, as they use an alarm system for folks with memory loss, and there's always staff watching out for everyone, whether it's trained nurses, attending physicians, or therapists who keep therapy programs-like physical, speech, occupational, orthopedic, and respiratory therapy-running for joint replacements, injuries, amputation recovery, and general rehab.
Nutrition and meal plans get a lot of attention, with wellness programs, laundry, housekeeping, mail, and newspaper services included, and you'll find in-room dining if someone can't make it to a meal, all matching up with activities from religious and cultural events to educational groups and entertainment. Transportation and parking mean residents get where they need to go, and staff handle medication management, pain support, diagnostic X-rays, and special programs for Alzheimer's and dementia care, all while community life rolls along with music, gardening, salon and barber shop visits, and chances for social connection. Ravenswood Village links up with A Place For Mom for reviews and advice, and since it belongs to a network of almost 200 Genesis centers across 17 states, resources and expertise shape most of what happens day to day, so families can talk with staff and see if the different options fit their care plans, knowing every detail gets attention-whether that's COVID-free practices, comfortable rooms, or simple support with daily routines and rehab after a hospital stay.
