Love & Care Assisted Livng, Inc.

Love & Care Assisted Living, Inc. sits on Dupont Road in Parkersburg, West Virginia and has been serving seniors since 1982, providing a simple, home-like setting instead of a hospital atmosphere, and the building's single-story design and homey feel seem to help new residents feel more at ease. The facility's licensed and regulated by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources under state license number 506030, and it does offer onsite services and community amenities that cover basics like furnished rooms, well-balanced meals, weekly housekeeping, laundry, and monthly salon services, plus each resident gets a private room, and there's a suite for couples. The community has 30 beds with a strong staff-to-resident ratio-15 staff for every 2 residents-ensuring a lot of direct attention, and there's 24-hour supervision, a call system in every room, and full surveillance for safety. The team provides help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and all activities of daily living, but residents do need to be able to walk by themselves or use a cane or walker, and people using oxygen tanks can come as long as their tanks get refilled somewhere else since the facility can't refill them onsite. Residents keep their own primary care doctors since there's no onsite physician, and the staff will coordinate with health providers when needed. The place accepts private pay only-it doesn't take Medicaid or Medicare-but does accept checks, credit cards, and insurance for payment, with some financing and home sale help available. There's a non-refundable $350 admission fee and a $500 deposit to hold a room. People with incontinence who manage their own toileting can move in, but the staff can't care for anyone with catheters or colostomies. The community provides extra services like haircuts, perms, cable TV, and landline phones for an extra fee. Residents and their families can come for tours, meet staff and fellow residents, and see everything firsthand before deciding, and the team's happy to answer questions about costs or services. On top of daily personal care, Love & Care offers memory care and assisted living for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, plus activities like movie nights, devotionals, a garden, walking paths, church services, an arts room, and community events. Special dietary needs like allergy-sensitive and diabetic meals are handled, and transportation, parking, dry cleaning, and move-in help are there, too. Private rooms with private toilets come standard, and there's room for married couples as well. Staff aim to keep life fulfilling, safe, and as independent as possible, and the place is known in the Mid-Ohio Valley for its commitment to quality elder care in a smaller, supportive setting.
