Edgewood Summit sits in Charleston, West Virginia, offering seniors a range of choices so folks can pick what fits best, whether you're needing independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing, and the place is nonprofit and locally owned, a part of ABH, Inc., and it keeps a strong sense of community and warmth, where you'll find people helpful and social and staff always around if you need something, whatever level of support fits your needs. The apartments and suites come with kitchenettes or full kitchens, so if you want to make meals yourself you can, but there's also chef-prepared meals served restaurant-style in the main dining room, and they've got communal dining, guest meals, and spaces like a library, café, and outside patios for gathering or a quiet bit of reading, with landscaped gardens and spots to relax or maybe garden. Each apartment has an emergency call system and safety features like sprinkler systems and smoke alarms, and residents control their own heating and cooling, which is good for comfort and peace of mind. Folks can choose between different floor plans, from private suites for those in memory care to larger two-bedrooms for those who still like their space, and all the units come with modern décor and views outside, and there's options for condos, apartments, or single-family homes if you want more independence or maybe need more care later on.
Edgewood Summit provides regular health checks and helps folks with personal care like bathing, dressing, or grooming, and the health team includes a part-time nurse, access to on-site physicians, and a group of specialists for therapies including speech, occupational, and physical therapy through Genesis Rehabilitation Services. They make a care plan for each resident, trying to keep everyone as independent as possible, and they offer skilled nursing, medication reminders, and personal laundry, with housekeeping every week and flat linen service, plus maintenance so things don't fall into disrepair. There's scheduled transportation for shopping or doctor visits, and staff helps organize outings and field trips, and the community accepts insurance and gives you choices for how you pay, with both all-inclusive rent and rent-and-care fee options. For wellness, the place has a fitness center, daily clubs and activities from bridge to golf, a beauty salon and spa, group events, devotional and religious services, and even art studios, and if family or friends want to visit overnight, that's allowed, too.
Memory care has a special neighborhood with its own private suites, and those residents get extra support and safety in a secure setting, while folks in independent or assisted living stay active with classes, clubs, outings, and friendly staff checking in-or letting people have their space if that's what they prefer. The grounds have room for walking, a garden area, barbecue set-ups, hot tubs or spas, waterfront views, and security features like gated entries and doormen, with plenty of parking in a lot and accessible buildings so folks with walkers or wheelchairs can still get around. Housekeeping, linen, meal prep if you want, maintenance, and laundry all come with the different levels of support, and there's a strong focus on wellness and helping residents age well, keeping people healthy and involved rather than sitting alone all day. Residents can go on virtual tours if they want to see the place ahead, and Edgewood Summit holds events and personal tours if you want to visit, and all the services-from entertainment venues inside to garden walks outside-are meant for comfort and ease. Edgewood Summit offers many services so seniors can stay in one place even if they need more help later on, making it a spot where daily living, care, and social connections go together for older adults.
