Canterbury Center sits at 80 Maddex Dr in Shepherdstown, WV, and provides skilled nursing care along with a wide range of services for older adults, so for people who need a lot of help due to frailty or ongoing health problems, like those coming out of the hospital, this is the kind of place that covers short-term rehab and longer stays alike, plus some folks may need memory care or support with their daily living routines, and that's offered here too, and besides the usual nursing care you'll find things like assisted living, independent living, and even home care, home health, or hospice for when folks want help at their own homes, with Canterbury Center also tying into adult care, respite, palliative care, and other specialized options including ventilator or dialysis support if that's needed. The staff includes Dr. Miranda Albaugh, the Medical Director who focuses on Family Medicine and Surgery, and Eric Rice, who handles marketing and admissions, and the center is part of the Alliance for Care at Home, stretching services even beyond West Virginia into places like Rutland, VT.
You get private or semi-private rooms, and the entire place is fully air-conditioned, with each room having its own climate control, and when it comes to daily conveniences there are dining rooms and private spots for family gatherings, restaurant-style meals, in-room dining if someone can't get to the dining room, plus there's a beauty salon and barber available, and the common spaces look out onto gardens and courtyards with views that lots of people tend to enjoy, and there are comfortable lounge areas where folks can spend time together, read, watch TV, or just relax.
