It is the people. And right now, the people are grand!
I am greeted by name almost always. My mother is always greeted by name. If I am with my mom in the dining room, the chef will ask me if I want to join, Ask if he can bring me a bowl or a plate. He will prepare a meal for me specifically. The chef also ask my mother if she “wants something else”. There have been times when she doesn’t like the chili or something else and he has offered her a different item. The nurses are wonderful. They check on her, they bring her medication on time and are friendly and talkative with her. The laundry is done and folded. The room is tidied and cleaned. The salon will fix her hair or anything that she needs. The PT is done on a regular basis. The activities are planned and she is encouraged to join. The place is not fancy. It is, in a way, plain. Simple. But that is part of it's charm. There is a key pad to enter and leave. There is often not someone at the front desk (at least when I stop in) but that seems to be ok because the nurses seem to take care of anything my mom needs. When the front desk person is there, she is very kind and welcoming. But the place seems small enough, that if I ever need anything or have a question, someone points me in the right direction. The place is not Immaculate. But it IS super tidy and more importantly, it feels very homey. My mom is doing much better here than she did at her last place. Why is that? THE PEOPLE. Older people need to be talked to, asked after, they want to have conversation. It is very easy for them to feel invisible. Climb into their shell and just “be”. They must have people to ask them to participate, ask them to join in, insist that they make a gingerbread house, or paint a picture, play a card game or work a puzzle. They must be encouraged. I believe that KP is doing that. People. It is all about the people. My hope is that Kanawha Place is paying their people well. If they are not, and they can do better, I hope they do so and do so soon. Keep your people! Keep your cleaning staff, keep your nurses. Keep your therapists. Keep them! Consistency is everything with older people. Right now KP has a really good staff. If they keep it, they will keep getting more clients, if they lose them, they will lose clients. At least they will lose me. I want people who want to be around my mom. Want to be working with her, not sitting on their phones or griping about their jobs. I want people who care. Don’t we all? The cleaning staff, the hairdressers, the social activities directors. These are the “things” that will keep your rooms full. People don’t care that there is a movie theatre or a fancy sitting area, they care that there is someone sitting with their loved one, asking them how their day was. So far, I think Kanahwa Place is doing that. I hope they continue. As they continue to be kind, caring sensitive humans, I will continue to sing their praises. It is hard to find good people. Very, very hard. So when you do, keep them and pay them well!

My review of Kanawha Place
We moved my loved one here from another facility and there was a big difference between the two. The care he received from Kanawha Place and hospice during the last two weeks of his life was fantastic and we all would have suffered greatly if he had still been at the previous facility.

Great Care and Kind Staff
We moved our parents there after 6 weeks of very poor care at [facility name removed]. Kanawha Place was amazing from the first day. My in-laws were well cared for, clean, and well fed. The staff was always available to lend an extra hand. When our family had to spend the night to be with our dying loved one, the staff offered meals and support. We highly recommend Kanawha Place.

I've spoken w/folks at Kanawha Place several times. Very nice and informative. Rates here are about the same as she is paying, so no help there. She's decided to "stay put" at the present time; but definitely worth checking into. Like the fact that Kanawha Place is a smaller facility than where she is currently.

about Kanawha Place

Kanawha Place offers Studio and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Kanawha Place 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
