Overview of Mansfield Place

Sixty beds are licensed at Mansfield Place in Philippi, West Virginia, split between assisted living and memory care. Assisted living covers dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care covers the part that comes later, in a secured setting with supervision for a resident who might otherwise walk out a door and keep going.

Often the person who needs that setting has a husband or wife at home who has not left the house alone in a year. Dementia care can swallow somebody else’s entire day, and the secured unit is what gives that day back. Because both levels sit in the same community, a resident who moves from one to the other keeps the same address and the same faces.

Chef-prepared meals arrive without anyone planning a menu or standing at a stove, and gardens give residents somewhere to sit outdoors.

Medicaid and Medicare are both billed here. Medicaid becomes the question for a family watching savings drain against a long stay, while Medicare pays for short-term care following a hospital admission and stops well short of covering a place to live.

The walk score is 55, moderately walkable, so a trip to the pharmacy may work on foot while most other errands need a ride. Dana Gould administers the community for Broaddus Hospital dba Mansfield Place.

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 46 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.
