Sistersville Center has 68 beds and sits in Sistersville, offering a skilled nursing facility with both short and long-term stays, and I tell you, they do a lot for their residents because they've got rooms that come fully furnished with cable, phone service, Wi-Fi, and they're all air-conditioned with climate control, which can make a big difference for comfort, and there are both private and semi-private rooms if you want to be alone or share. Meals come prepared daily, and those who need a diabetic diet or have special food restrictions get what they need-there's also in-room dining and private dining for family gatherings, so when the grandkids come by, you can eat together if you'd like. The common spaces stay busy, since there's a full dining area, beauty salon, barber services, lounges, activity rooms, and gardens for fresh air or sitting outside, and you'd also find an arts room and garden for hobbies or a little peace, plus outdoor space with safe security including an alarm system for folks with cognitive deficits who may wander.
Staff stays around 24 hours, and if something comes up, each room's got a call system, so help comes right away; and what's more, they've got registered nurses, attending physicians, and a medical director named Dr. Zaveen Kureishy to oversee care. Care covers help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and keeping up with health needs-whether someone's recovering from an illness or dealing with long-term health issues, they try to coordinate with healthcare providers to keep things smooth. Medication's watched carefully, with pharmacy deliveries, and housekeeping's included, along with laundry and mail service. Folks who need help after a hospital stay or just a quick recovery can use short-term rehabilitation, which covers everything from wound care, pain management, and x-rays to specialized orthopedic rehab for joint replacements or injuries, and they're able to help people with respiratory concerns too-including ventilator care and IV therapy.
There's a memory care unit made for people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, secured and designed for calm, with mental wellness programs, pet therapy, and daily activities to keep everyone engaged, since loneliness can be a real struggle otherwise. They run a lot of activities, from religious services and cultural events to crafts and social get-togethers, so people stay busy and keep their minds fresh, and staff help folks with mild cognitive impairment or non-ambulatory conditions move around safely. Transportation's arranged for medical appointments, and there's help for those who need it getting to a doctor.
Sistersville Center also offers hospice care, palliative care, case management, and discharge planning, plus podiatry and colostomy care-so even complex needs get managed. They're smoke-free, have coordinated nutrition support, and accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance, and being VA contracted as a We Honor Veterans community partner makes it easier for veterans needing care. Their staff, including Jessica Kunz as director of rehabilitation and Heather Lanham as director of marketing and admissions, focus on quality and professional growth, and they belong to Genesis HealthCare and the Alliance for Care at Home.
They've won the AHCA Bronze Quality Award, and families seem to appreciate the care, with ratings around 4.8 to 4.9 from reviews. People note the staff's compassion, and you get both assisted living services and skilled nursing options, which means residents can stay comfortable and adjust their care as their needs change, whether that's through rehabilitation, memory care, or long-term support with daily life.
