Overview of Fairhaven Opco

Madison Park Healthcare is a skilled nursing home in Huntington, West Virginia, located on Madison Avenue on the city’s west side. It is operated by Fairhaven Opco, LLC under owner MPH Trust. The home accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.

At 26 beds across a three-storey building, Madison Park is a smaller, more intimate nursing home rather than a large institutional community. Residents live in private and semi-private suites, each equipped with cable television and an emergency response system so help is close at hand. For families weighing options, that smaller scale often translates into a quieter daily rhythm and more familiar faces among staff and fellow residents.

Care is anchored by a strong daily staffing commitment. Total nursing care averages about 3 hours and 55 minutes per resident each day, with registered nurse time of roughly 55 minutes and nurse aide support close to 2 hours. For a nursing home, that level of hands-on time is a meaningful signal of how much direct support residents can expect.

Beyond care, the home includes a few touches that make day-to-day life more comfortable, including an on-site hair salon and a coffee shop right in the building. Its Huntington location scores 63 out of 100 for walkability, so some errands can be handled on foot while most trips will involve a short drive, and the setting is convenient for nearby family to visit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in West Virginia

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in West Virginia?

Assisted living in West Virginia supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in West Virginia?

Assisted living in West Virginia is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does West Virginia Medicaid cover assisted living?

West Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including West Virginia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 45 assisted living facilities in West Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in West Virginia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in West Virginia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in West Virginia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
