Overview of Kanawha Place

Managed by Jessica Fowler, Kanawha Place is a 68-bed assisted living community in Charleston, West Virginia. Set on South Park Road in a car-dependent area, the two-story residence features studio housing and is currently 66 percent occupied, with 45 residents. It’s operated by Charleston Aid II Opco DBA Kanawha Place.

Most errands and activities require a car in the property’s location on South Park Road. For those with transportation, the immediate neighborhood offers residential solitude. The studio housing option offers an easy living arrangement for independent or semi-independent older adults.

Regulatory reviews have demonstrated that Kanawha Place responds well to flagged concerns. Over the past two decades, inspections conducted have touched on housekeeping, documentation, and care oversight at various points. More recent inspections have affirmed that identified issues were corrected and didn’t recur.

The best way to know the community’s current programs, services, and daily life is for families considering it to visit personally.
