Edgewood Summit in Charleston, WV offers three primary levels of residential care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—so residents can transition smoothly as needs change. Independent Living residents maintain an active lifestyle with the reassurance that support is available, while Assisted Living residents receive help with daily activities such as medication management and personal care. The Memory Care program is designed for individuals facing Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, providing a secure environment with structured routines and specialized programming to support cognitive health.
Medical support is anchored by on-site professionals that include nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists, allowing many clinical needs to be managed without leaving the campus. Services cover diabetes management, incontinence care, and ambulatory assistance, and respite stays are available for short-term recovery or caregiver relief. An emergency call system operates around the clock for rapid response, and continuing care options let residents remain in the same community even if health demands escalate. The community also offers resident and family counseling to help everyone adjust to care transitions and treatment plans.
Residences range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger apartment options, all maintained by a dedicated housekeeping team. Many units include wall-to-wall carpeting, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and utilities, though specific features vary by floor plan. Outdoor walking paths, gardens, and convenient parking encourage residents to stay mobile, and a library and computer lounge offers quiet space for reading or staying connected online. Because layouts differ, prospective residents should verify which amenities are included in the exact apartment they are considering.
Dining services provide three daily meals, and the culinary staff can adapt menus for dietary restrictions such as low-sugar or low-sodium plans. Consistency in meal scheduling supports residents in Memory Care, while Independent and Assisted Living residents can expect varied menus that balance nutrition with familiar favorites. The dining team collaborates with clinical staff to coordinate meal plans for those managing diabetes or needing texture-modified diets to ensure nutritional goals are met without sacrificing taste.
Beyond daily care and dining, Edgewood Summit offers an activity center that hosts arts and crafts workshops, club meetings, and scheduled TV or movie nights. These programs encourage social interaction and help residents maintain cognitive and physical engagement within a structured setting.
