Recent reviews for independent living in Blue Pennant

Harmony at Southridge in Charleston, WV

5.0
I would tell other families looking into Harmony at Southridge that they do not help supply incontinence supplies. That is something I was unaware of. I would recommend this facility, more so for independent living.

Kanawha Place in Charleston, WV

5.0
Unfortunately mom was only there a few days as she had a stroke 3 days after moving in and passed a week later. I cannot say enough good things about every aspect of Kanawha Place. Highly recommend to anyone looking for that type of a facility, top-notch in all areas.

Oak Hill Place
