Miletree Center

Miletree Center sits over on Summit Street in Spencer, WV, and offers a wide mix of care options, so folks see it as both a nursing home and a place with assisted senior living, independent living, residential care, and even memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's. The staff keep a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, so people feel at home and can get to know each other, and they do have a good record for care and satisfaction-earning recognition like the Best of Senior Living and AHCA Bronze Quality awards. Meals get prepared by chefs and meal planners who try to balance taste and nutrition, and the dining room's set up for comfortable eating, though people can dine in their rooms if they prefer. There's always something going on with activities and recreation, from group events to social opportunities, and this focus has won Best Activities awards, too. The center offers skilled nursing for short stays after hospital visits, long-term care, and respite care if someone's family needs a break, and they do rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapy-all with private or semi-private rooms and air conditioning, and a management team including folks named Christina Starcher, Dr. Christiansen, Michelle Kunkel, and Whitney Casto. Residents get care for several needs like orthopedic rehab, wound care, vision care, pain management, dementia care, and bariatric and colostomy care, plus services like medication management, nutrition planning, and discharge planning, and the place is set up to handle Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurances, and VA-contracted care. For comfort, people find gardens, courtyards, a beauty salon and barber services, computer and internet access, phone service, cable television, laundry and housekeeping, and alarm systems for those with memory trouble. They even offer transportation to help people get around. Miletree Center partners up with healthcare providers and offers home health care, hospice, palliative care, and support for folks still living at home through trained aides. They have a customer satisfaction rating of four out of five, and their reviews average out even higher, so people can expect thoughtful, organized care and a steady place to recover or live longer-term.
