Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Elkins, WV

Overview of Mountain Memories (alr/alz)

Mountain Memories (alr/alz) offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Elkins, WV. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The combination of care levels may be a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs supervised memory care, or for a resident whose needs may grow and who could move between care levels without leaving the community. Mountain Memories has 88 beds, and Christina Mullenax serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 77 places the area in the very walkable band, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently. A salon lets residents arrange grooming services without leaving the community, while religious services and rehabilitation services are available for residents who use them.
