Overview of Roane General Hospital Roane General Hospital offers nursing home care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care in Spencer, WV. Nursing home care supports residents who need ongoing nursing oversight, while hospice care focuses on comfort for someone nearing the end of life and palliative care addresses comfort and symptom management alongside serious illness treatment. Respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs temporary relief, travel time, or recovery.
The home has 35 beds, making it a smaller community where residents and staff can get to know one another. Roane General Hospital may be a good fit for someone who needs a smaller nursing home setting or for a family seeking hospice, palliative, or short-term respite care. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 30 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time assigned per resident.
Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, giving eligible residents and families those payment options for covered care. Outpatient therapy and rehabilitation services, along with cardiac rehabilitation, allow residents to receive rehabilitation support through programs available at the hospital rather than arranging care elsewhere. Doug Bentz serves as the administrator.
