Cedar Grove in Parkersburg, WV is an assisted-living community designed for residents who need daily support but want to retain as much independence as possible. Licensed nursing staff coordinates doctor visits, physical therapy sessions, diabetes management, speech therapy, and short-term respite stays. Medication management is supervised daily, and care plans are updated whenever a resident’s condition changes.
Beyond the core assisted-living program, Cedar Grove maintains a wide range of on-site medical and personal-care services to reduce outside appointments. Nurses are available around the clock, and visiting optometrists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists see residents on campus.

Memory-care programming is also offered for residents showing signs of cognitive decline.
Apartments are offered furnished or unfurnished and may include features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, Wi-Fi, and fully equipped kitchens; however, not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour. The campus includes outdoor gardens, dedicated parking, and several patios, and cats are permitted in designated residences. Common areas are air-conditioned, and a piano or organ is available for resident use.
Dining is structured but flexible. Three chef-prepared meals are served daily with an all-day dining option for residents who prefer different hours.
