Countryside Assisted Living in Martinsburg, WV, functions as both an assisted-living community and a residential care home. Licensed nursing staff oversee medication management, vitals monitoring, and coordination with physicians, pharmacies, and rehabilitation providers. Care aides are on site 24 hours a day to help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and continence needs, adjusting the level of assistance as residents’ conditions change. The community arranges transportation to medical appointments and brings in visiting professionals such as physical, occupational, and speech therapists when prescribed. Emergency response systems connect residents directly with staff for immediate attention.
Beyond direct medical support, the community offers structured wellness programs that include exercise classes tailored to seniors’ mobility levels, cognitive activities to maintain mental acuity, and regular health screenings. A care coordinator keeps families informed of any significant changes and schedules care plan reviews at least twice a year. Laundry, housekeeping, and linen services are handled by staff so residents can focus on daily routines and social engagement. Scheduled outings, religious services, and hobby groups round out the weekly calendar, giving residents options to socialize or spend quiet time as they prefer.
Accommodations range from private suites to shared rooms, and many units include en-suite bathrooms with grab bars, individual climate controls, and basic furnishings. Some rooms also feature kitchenetteettes and emergency pull cords in multiple locations, but not all accommodations have all the features just listed. Maintenance, weekly housekeeping, and utilities—except personal phone and cable packages—are generally included in the monthly fee.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared in the on-site kitchen, with menus planned under a registered dietitian’s guidance. Choices usually include a heart-healthy option, a diabetic-friendly plate, and a regular entrée at each meal, and modified textures are available for those with swallowing concerns. Snacks and hydration stations are accessible between meals, and staff can arrange in-room tray service for residents recovering from illness or preferring privacy.
