Mountain Memories is an assisted living and memory care community in Elkins, West Virginia, offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care to older adults in Randolph County. The community appeals to older adults and families seeking a single place that provides evolving care in a residential setting. Operating since May 2024 with 88 beds, the community is administered by Christina Mullenax and is owned by Mountain Memories Assisted Living and Retirement Center LLC.

With an 88-bed capacity, the community is one of the larger assisted living residences in the area. 74 of 88 beds are also occupied, marking an approximately 84% occupancy rate, which suggests steady demand while still offering consistent availability. The community has been inspected 18 times by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Office of Health Facility Licensure, with the most recent inspection on May 8, 2025.

Overview of Wishing Well Assisted Living Community at Fairmont

Wishing Well Assisted Living Community at Fairmont is a 52-bed property operated by 1543 Country Club Road Alf Operations LLC. The facility offers standard assisted living, nursing care, short-term respite stays, and rehabilitation services, with an average resident stay of 142 days. On-site accommodations include air-conditioned private and semi-private rooms with private bathrooms, laundry service, housekeeping, and restaurant-style dining. Daily programming covers educational, religious, and social activities, and residents have access to a beauty salon, cable television, and wireless internet. Located in a neighborhood with a Walk Score of 67, the facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Federal profiles from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issue the property a two-star overall rating, which sits slightly below the West Virginia state benchmark. This rating carries over to the facility’s individual marks for quality measures, health inspections, and daily staffing levels, with records documenting an average of 2 hours and 44 minutes of nursing care per resident each day. Looking at the long-term state tracking history, the facility accumulated 67 line-item infractions across seven inspections spanning from 2009 through 2025.

Out of the seven state visits on record, six initially turned up at least one minor paperwork or maintenance issue, giving the property a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews. Older logs from 2009 to 2020 note scattered marks regarding building upkeep, training files, and medication management, but the operator has never faced a financial fine. Furthermore, the facility’s recent performance shows clear progress, as the latest annual survey on June 11, 2025, came back completely clean with zero deficiencies.

Prospective residents seeking a combined care setup in the area can look through these public health records to assess the provider’s operational history. Since the multi-year tracking data highlights below-average federal quality ratings alongside zero historical fines and a flawless state inspection at the close of its oversight cycle, the documentation reflects an improving regulatory trajectory. Setting up a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the building condition firsthand, talk with the nursing staff about daily routines, and verify how the current administration maintains its modern compliance standards.

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.
