Overview of Heritage Care Center

Heritage Care Center provides nursing home and skilled nursing care, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care in Huntington, WV. Nursing home and skilled nursing care include licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care focuses on comfort at the end of life, and palliative care addresses comfort and symptom relief related to serious illness. Respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The home has 160 beds, placing it in the larger community range with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. Occupancy is 98%, so nearly all beds are in use. The range of care can suit a resident who needs supervision, skilled nursing, or comfort focused support, while respite care can suit a family needing temporary coverage for a primary caregiver.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicaid can help cover a long stay when savings may not be sufficient, while Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Families can also pay privately. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 1 minute per resident per day, representing the daily nurse time allocated to each resident, and Elizabeth Townsend serves as the administrator.

An 85 out of 100 Walk Score places the area in the very walkable range, meaning most errands can be completed on foot. Shops, a pharmacy, or cafes may be within a short walk, allowing a resident who no longer drives to get out independently.

Overview of Braley Care Homes Memory Care Facility

In Hurricane, WV, Braley Care Homes Memory Care Facility is licensed for assisted living and memory care. Daily tasks are what the assisted living level supports, with the resident keeping their own place to live. Alzheimer’s Care is named outright on the program list, so the memory care here aims squarely at Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, inside secured surroundings, with staff supervision. The courtyard is where residents here can go for time outside.

Sixteen beds make this an intimate place, small enough that the place describes itself as such. A family looking for supervised memory care, rather than a general community that happens to offer it, would start here.

Chris Braley administers the home.

West Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
