Overview of Braley Care Homes Memory Care Facility

With sixteen beds, of which fifteen are occupied, Braley Care Homes Memory Care Facility runs at 94% occupancy; for a community this size that means it is nearly always full. The facility sits at 6192 US-60 in the Lexington Estates neighborhood of Hurricane, West Virginia, operated and administered by Chris Braley under the Braley Care Homes, Inc. banner.

The care model is narrowly defined: memory care and assisted living, with a specific focus on Alzheimer’s and dementia. Nursing services run around the clock. The grounds include an outdoor courtyard and a secured perimeter, both standard and decision-relevant features for a memory care setting. Personalized care activities are part of the daily program.

This is a state-licensed Assisted Living Residence, not a CMS-certified facility. West Virginia regulates these communities separately from the federal system governing nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities, and Medicare and Medicaid don’t apply here. State inspections have tended to cover medication management, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep.

Walk Score 6 is functionally zero. The US-60 location requires a car for everything. Visitors and staff drive; the surrounding area offers no walkable options.

At 16 beds with a secured environment and a single-minded focus on memory care, Braley Care Homes represents the small, residential end of the dementia care spectrum in West Virginia’s Putnam County corridor.
