From Charleston to Huntington, Morgantown to Parkersburg, West Virginia families turn to us for help with aging in place. Whether you’re retrofitting a home in Wheeling or arranging care in Beckley or Martinsburg, our network supports seniors in communities across the Mountain State.
West Virginia’s scenic beauty and close-knit communities are wonderful, but seniors must plan for:
Steep driveways, hillsides, and stairs increasing fall risks
Snow, ice, and freezing rain creating hazardous conditions
Limited healthcare and transportation options in rural areas
Older homes needing accessibility upgrades
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:

Install grab bars, slip-resistant flooring, and brighter lighting to prevent falls in older West Virginia homes.
