Highly recommended for loved ones!!

My mom has a quite roomy apartment perfect for staging areas . The staff is top notch. Love the homey environment and plenty of activities for folks. Very clean and food is good as well.

Not suitable for Alzheimer's patients

I took [name removed] in for an evaluation and they said, no problem, we can handle him. Two weeks in they're telling me he is acting up and might not be able to stay. The 5 weeks he was there, they would call one day and say he needed to move, then call the next day and say he had calmed down. It was a very stressful 5 weeks until I found a private home operated by two hospice nurses. [community removed] was a Godsend. [name removed] was comfortable and well cared for the two weeks he was there before he passed.

Review for Kanawha Place

I am thankful she was there. When she could no longer stay home by herself. I think your facility was a perfect fit. She was out of her room a lot. She had interactions with other residents. 3 good meals a day and close to my house. I could visit often and when anything went wrong I could be there in ten minutes. I was pleased with my Aunt's stay.

Kanawha Place

It was exactly what we were looking for after we visited other places in the area. Food is very good. My husband usually eats everything he is served. I've eaten there as well, and enjoyed it.
