English Meadows, found in Teays Valley, West Virginia, sits on 4.34 acres and has 64 assisted living suites plus 24 secured memory care suites, and you can find studio, semi-private, and two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, all set up for seniors who need anything from independent living to skilled nursing, respite care, or memory care; the building's got wheelchair access, an on-site hair salon, housekeeping and laundry, and staff in the building around the clock with a nurse always ready and a doctor on call, and you've got medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert for safety. There's a secured memory care section in its own building where staff specializes in care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they use alarm bracelets plus special procedures for wandering or difficult behaviors, and the staff is trained for major behavioral needs, elopement risks, and personal supervision for daily living like bathing, grooming, toileting, or reminders.
Residents get three farm-to-table meals a day served restaurant-style, with options for diets like low sodium or no sugar, and there's private dining, an activity center, clubhouse, planned outings, a fitness and therapy center, and both indoor and outdoor common spaces where you can garden, do art, go to cooking classes, join religious services, or take part in live entertainment and offsite trips, so there's nearly always something going on, and a full-time activity director keeps calendars full. There's pet-friendly policies, so sometimes residents can keep a cat or dog, and there's even help available for pet care if you need it. Seniors can also get finance guides, senior discounts, cell phone plans, support with insurance and Medicare & Medicaid, all in one place, whether folks need a fully independent lifestyle, help with bathing, medication management, or full nursing care, since English Meadows provides most care types, from home health, adult day services, and hospice care, on through to traditional nursing homes and companion care.
Every floor plan, from a single studio to a two-bedroom, lets residents age in place so if folks need more help over time, they don't have to move-there's help tailored for each person, whether it's general supervision or support with mobility or insulin shots, and visiting healthcare professionals like podiatrists, therapists, and nurses show up as needed but there's always aids, nurses, and reminders for daily activities, with personal care dependent on each resident's assessment. There are walking paths and gardens outside, outdoor courtyards to soak up the sunshine, and high-speed internet and cable so you can stay connected. There's always transportation to appointments or community outings, on top of housekeeping, laundry, and access to social security guides, calculators, and hearing aid resources.
English Meadows' community layout is part of a mixed-use development by the Cathcart Group, so there's a steady, home-like environment with a focus on comfort and security, and the staff aims to support dignity and independence for each resident through customized care plans. Since there's a range of senior apartments, condos, townhomes, and shared care homes, people can choose the housing that matches what they need most, and the community keeps people safe, with secure memory care and technology to prevent wandering. The facility rates 8.7 out of 10, the highest in Teays Valley out of three options. This is the kind of place where comfort comes alongside care, and you'll find both independence and support when it counts.
