Rockin' Chair Residential Care sits in Lerona, West Virginia, about 11 miles outside Princeton, and you'll notice the front porch lined with rocking chairs, which really welcomes you in and gives the place a comfortable, easy feeling, almost like visiting an old friend's house, and the staff here encourage residents to keep active and take part in daily routines and group activities because they know people feel better when they move and connect with each other, and you'll often find folks sitting outside or walking in the garden or yard spaces, maybe chatting or just relaxing with friends. This community holds up a high standard by welcoming unannounced visits from families and friends, so anyone can see what daily life's really like, and the people working here treat the residents with a genuine sense of care and respect, even holding onto financial checks for those nearing the end of life as a show of kindness.
There's a team of three nurses on-site to help keep everyone healthy, and the doctor comes in for regular, twice-a-month check-ups, making sure medical concerns get handled promptly, and the care staff assist with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, and other daily jobs, whether someone's standing steady on their own or needs help walking or getting from bed to chair, and there's 24-hour supervision for those who really need it, with emergency alert systems in place for safety. Meals come fresh every day, tailored for special diets like pureed foods, diabetic meals, or low-salt plans, and you'll see folks eating in a communal dining room, talking together, or taking part in scheduled activities like music treatments, animal therapy, board games, crafts, movies, group walks, and even outings when someone needs to get to an appointment or wants to join a community event elsewhere.
You'll find private or semiprivate furnished rooms, housekeeping and laundry services, high-speed internet, cable TV, and some rooms have phones for extra convenience, and there are common spaces where residents can gather-maybe reading in a book room, watching a movie, or joining a group night event, and if someone likes to stay fit or just needs the hairdresser, arrangements can be made. The place supports both independent living and those needing a little more, like memory care and dementia services, and hospice or respite care are available when needed. Rockin' Chair cares for up to sixteen residents in all, keeping things peaceful and neighborly, and the staff take time to get to know each person, helping new folks settle in, and making sure care and support fit each person's needs. Programs and amenities may change to keep things interesting or better fit people's needs, and the community is licensed by West Virginia state. The monthly starting price is $3,000, and residents can pay privately, through long-term care insurance, or Veterans Aid and Attendance if that's available. Rockin' Chair focuses on giving seniors a homelike place with personalized help, a welcoming atmosphere, outdoor recreation, and plenty of chances to connect and belong.
