Willows Center in Parkersburg is licensed as a nursing-home, delivering 24-hour skilled nursing care for residents who need consistent clinical oversight. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants coordinate care plans, administer medications, monitor vital signs, and handle wound and catheter management. The facility is set up for both short-term rehabilitation stays and long-term residency, so individuals with complex medical conditions can receive the same level of attention as those under extended custodial care.
Beyond the core nursing services, Willows Center provides structured respite care for family caregivers who need temporary relief, allowing loved ones to stay in a fully staffed environment for a defined period. On-site physical therapy is available for residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury; treatment plans focus on rebuilding strength, balance, and mobility without the need for off-site appointments. Coordination between therapy staff and nursing teams helps ensure each resident’s progress is closely tracked and documented.
Resident apartments vary in layout and do not all feature the same amenities, but selected units may include central air conditioning, cable television hookups, in-unit washers and dryers, and Wi-Fi access. Common areas such as a library and computer lounge, fireplace seating, and landscaped outdoor gardens provide additional spots to relax. The property is pet-friendly in designated areas, and staff handle routine housekeeping so living spaces stay clean and orderly.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with staff monitoring dietary restrictions and portion control. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms can arrange tray service, while others can eat in the communal dining room where menus rotate to incorporate resident feedback. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals to support balanced nutrition and manage special diets.
An activity center hosts scheduled programs, and residents can join clubs and interest-based communities that meet regularly to encourage social interaction. Participation is optional, and the calendar is adjusted based on resident feedback so that the offerings remain relevant and engaging.
