Chateau Grove Senior Living, also called Chateau Grove Personal Care Home, sits behind the Outback Steakhouse in Barboursville, West Virginia, and has a family-owned, home-like feeling where folks find several living options like assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing care, offering both private studio rooms and semi-private one-bedroom spaces, all licensed for six residents by West Virginia but also part of a larger residence with up to 80 beds. People living here get three home-cooked meals daily, with meals planned for diets like diabetes or high blood pressure if needed, and you'll see chef-prepared dishes for all sorts of diets, plus they're served in a dining room designed for everyone to gather and talk. Staff offers help with bathing, dressing, grooming, moving between beds and wheelchairs, taking medicine, and getting to the shower, and care's available every hour of the day if an emergency comes up, plus there's help for transfers, insulin needs, and health monitoring upon request, with skilled nursing on site and occupational and physical therapists who visit.
There's a wide range of things for people to do each day, from group fitness programs and scheduled activities like board games, arts, and music therapy to outdoor walking paths, gardens, a shaded porch with a swing, patios, movie nights, and game rooms, plus a library, fitness and wellness rooms, jacuzzi, therapist visits, planned programs for birthdays and anniversaries, and church services for those who want devotional time. There's haircuts and barbering at the facility, a beauty salon, and laundry services so families worry less about chores. For folks who might need extra support, there's special care for Alzheimer's, memory challenges, diabetes, non-ambulatory residents, and even incontinence care, with memory care designed to lower confusion and help prevent wandering, all while letting each resident keep as much independence as possible. The apartment spaces offer private bathrooms, air conditioning, separate heat pumps, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, Wi-Fi, and furnishings, and people can spend time in indoor common areas, an open fireplace visitors' lounge, activity rooms, and social spaces that keep everyone connected.
People move in with private pay, social security, veterans' benefits, and sometimes insurance, and there's a clear fee structure for different needs, including fees for care levels, community, respite stays, and extra people, which keeps costs simple to understand. Housekeeping, move-in coordination, concierge help, emergency alert systems, and transportation for doctor's visits or errands are available, though sometimes these services need confirming with the administrator. Chateau Grove makes a point to help folks grow, stay active, and feel dignified in their later years, with a small, close-knit community, caring and joyful staff, and ways to support both residents and their families through comfort, safety, and personal attention.
