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.

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 56 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.
