Assisted Living in Charleston, West Virginia
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Charleston Gardens— and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 2001, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Right at Home
Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard, Charleston Gardens is considered one of West Virginia's premier assisted living and Alzheimer's communities. Located off Greenbrier Street, right near the State Capital, our new and modern community offers 95 apartments on two floors. Here, we offer the full range of senior living options, so you can remain in the same community even if your health needs change:
-
Retirement Living:
Enjoy the active retirement lifestyle of upscale independent living, where everything — yard work, housekeeping, meal preparation, even transportation — is taken care of for you. Just wake up and take in the day! -
Assisted Living:
Should you need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, we also offer complete assisted living services. Our services focus on wellness to help you maintain or improve your health, so you can live as independently as possible. -
Alzheimer's and Dementia Care:
Our community also offers an innovative memory care program, Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia. Because your family's experience will be unlike any other, our goal is to get to know you and your loved one, so that we can offer support and solutions for your individual situation. We "join the journey" of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices and allowing residents the dignity to live in a secure, personalized and familiar setting that feels comfortable for them.
New friends, new beginnings
Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, library and activities center — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including outings to the symphony and the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences of West Virginia. Charleston Gardens is conveniently located in a quiet business park close to downtown, various banks and the post office, as well as Coonskin Park and Kanawha State Forest. Several medical facilities are nearby, including CAMC General Hospital, St. Francis Hospital, Thomas Memorial Hospital and a nursing home rehabilitation facility if ever needed.
