Assisted living in Huntington, WV
5 licensed communities, listed alphabetically. West Virginia publishes an inspection and complaint record for each one — shown on every community’s page — but it publishes no rating, so we do not rank them and we do not invent a score.
What’s actually in Huntington
These 5 licences are not all the same kind of place:
- 4 Assisted Living Residence
- 1 Alzheimer's Unit
They range from 6 to 91 licensed beds (median 26) — and 1 of them is licensed for 6 beds or fewer, meaning a private house with a handful of residents rather than an apartment-style community.
1 of the 5 carries a memory-care or secured dementia designation in the state’s record.
4 of the 5 have findings in the state’s inspection or complaint record. The remaining 1 is not in the state’s extract, which is not the same as a clean record.
What it costs around here
Median private-pay cost, CareScout (Genworth) 2025 Cost of Care Survey — a regional midpoint, not any single community’s rate. Private rooms and higher care levels cost more; ask for a current quote. Project your own in the cost-of-care planner.
† Memory care is our estimate, not survey data: CareScout does not survey memory care, so we take the assisted-living median for the state and add $1,200/month — the typical secured-dementia-unit premium. It is a planning figure with no state-level detail behind it, and real memory-care pricing varies far more than that. Treat it as a starting point and ask the community for its own memory-care rate.
Estimated cost range · regional
In West Virginia, assisted living typically runs about $5,050–$7,600/month.
This is a regional estimate modeled from published survey data (the CareScout/Genworth state median, ±20%) — not this community’s actual price, which it sets privately. Ask the community for its current all-in monthly rate and what each care level adds.
Paying with Medicaid
West Virginia Medicaid can help pay for assisted living — through a waiver, not through regular Medicaid.
The West Virginia waiver that can pay for it:
- Aged and Disabled Waiver (ADW) — covers in-home personal care / homemaker / skilled nursing / non-medical transportation
In West Virginia: apply or check eligibility ↗ or call 877-716-1212.
A waiver pays for care, not for rent. Even where the state covers assisted-living services, room and board is still the resident’s to pay. Full eligibility limits — income, assets, the look-back — are on our West Virginia Medicaid page.
Nearby towns in this state
Assisted living is a local decision, but the right community is often one town over — and a 20-minute difference in drive time decides how often anyone actually visits, which is the single thing that most affects how a resident does.
