Gauley River Assisted Living sits in Belva, West Virginia, at 4967 Gauley River Road, providing a small, home-like setting for seniors who need help with daily life. The community has 16 licensed beds in semi-private, one-bedroom units, where folks can get assistance with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and enjoying meals in a dining room that serves scheduled meals along with all-day options, prepared with special diets in mind for allergies or diabetes. Residents live with 24-hour supervision, and the staff focus on medication management, health coordination, and keeping up with each person's service plans and health records, so everything stays up-to-date.
The campus covers more than just assisted living, since they offer memory care with secure areas for people living with dementia, and have programs for rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and even continuing care retirement options for those who might need different services as they age. There's always someone around to help, because a dedicated team handles care routines, and the building itself meets routine inspection standards-including fire safety, disaster plans, and maintenance repairs both inside and out, with staff addressing any issues like medication storage, cleaning needs, and repairs to walls or furniture as they come up.
The activities schedule stays busy with structured programs, movie nights, gardening, community lounges, and walking paths for fresh air. Residents have access to laundry, housekeeping, transportation, move-in help, and dry cleaning, so they can focus on a maintenance-free lifestyle. The place strives for a warm, inviting atmosphere where the staff want every resident to feel comfortable, safe, and engaged, whether that means connecting over a meal, joining a social event, or getting the medical care they need. Safety features like emergency alert systems and secured storage for hazardous items stay in place, and even folks with limited mobility have their needs met because non-ambulatory care's available. Recent inspections found some issues with medications, treatments, and physical spaces, but the site keeps improving protocols to meet state rules and better serve the people who live there. Gauley River Assisted Living offers respite stays, so people can come for a short time when needed, and the team works hard to make transitions easy through move-in coordination and regular communication with healthcare providers. The license remains active, and the administrator keeps the operations running so the residents can experience a sense of community and well-being each day.
