We do suggest the hours from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Children of all ages may visit. We encourage you to make use of our attractive dining room, lounge, and patio during visits. We also will be happy to assist you with special occasion gatherings, such as birthday and anniversary parties, so feel free to notify our Activities Department.

Services
Since 1958, and through many changes and adjustments, Sundale Nursing Home has continued to provide quality care and maintain a "Tradition of Caring." In 1958, Sundale was originally established by the Monongalia County Commission as a non-profit organization to care for the elderly and named Sundale Rest Home.
We invite family and friends to join activities as well as have meals with us. Arrangements for meals should be made two hours in advance. Immediate family or other relatives may visit at any time; however, it is requested that visits prior to 10:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. take place in the Facility's common areas to assist care giving and protect the privacy of other residents, if necessary.
Experts estimate that 33 percent of men and 52 percent of women will need some type of extended care in their lifetimes. Yet few of us put much time, thought, or resources into planning ahead for our family's future extended care needs. Residents of an extended care facility can pay for their care directly from their personal assets.
Palliative Care, also called comfort care, provides treatment and support when you face an age-related health condition, a serious or chronic illness, or if you have a terminal illness and have chosen to forego active treatment. In recent years, the number of Sundale residents diagnosed with a terminal illness has consistently increased - from less than 2 percent of the resident population in 2004 to 16.7 percent in 2008.
