All the Welty properties are located within the same leafy residential area in Wheeling, West Virginia, a community noted for its small-town charm and excellent quality of life.
Welty offers distinct care for different stages of senior adult life. One exceptional advantage of this continuum of care is that those who are a part of the Welty family have priority if their needs change and they require the services available at another Welty facility.
Our dedicated staff, including nurses who are on duty around the clock, are committed to the physical, emotional, and spiritual care of our residents.
The distinctive mid-century modern building has 52 private rooms, each with a private bath, small refrigerator, and wall safe. All the rooms have generous windows that overlook a verdant wooded area or Welty’s attractively landscaped grounds.

Every room at Welty Home is private, with an en-suite private bath that features a roomy walk-in shower.
Residents may choose to bring some of their own furniture, as long as the room does not become overly crowded. We encourage residents to bring photos and other personal items to personalize their new home.
Nurses are on duty and available to residents 24 hours a day to administer medications and provide other health services.
Residents have access to in-house therapy, provided by Absolute Therapy, a highly respected treatment team that works to keep our residents as independent as possible.
Personal care assistants are available around the clock to assist with bathing, dressing, and other resident needs.
Welty Home does residents’ laundry on a weekly basis; each floor has a designated laundry day. Residents may also choose to have family members take care of their laundry.
Rooms are cleaned weekly. Fresh towels are provided daily and bed linens are changed during the weekly cleaning. We provide sheets but residents may also choose to bring their own.
We’re pleased to drive residents to medical appointments in a comfortable, handicap-accessible van. Family members are welcome to ride with residents to their appointments.
Residents and families may wish to establish personal spending accounts that residents can use for beauty shop appointments, personal shopping service or just to have spending money available without having to make a special trip to the bank. Good Shepherd Nursing Home handles the accounting, but cash on hand is available to residents from the Welty Home office.
A personal shopper is available weekly to purchase personal items that residents may not be able to get for themselves. A personal spending account is required to use this service.
The beauty shop located in the Welty Home is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Residents can make appointments for haircuts, hair styling, perms and other services. There is a small additional cost for beauty shop services.
