Wheeling has always had a strong connection to the B&O Railroad due to its position along the Ohio River and at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It was a major manufacturing center during the industrial boom in the 1800s. After the decline of manufacturing across the nation, its economy became more centered in tourism, energy, healthcare and education.
The city’s senior population represents over 20% of its near 29,000 residents, making its elderly population significantly higher than the state or national average. Such a high percentage of seniors creates the need for reliable nursing care, especially as many more residents approach retirement. Those who seek access to social programs, transportation assistance and other senior services can take advantage of programs offered through the Martins Ferry Senior Center and Bellaire Senior Center located at 14 North 5th Street and 3396 Belmont Street, respectively.
Our Wheeling nursing home injury lawyers have gathered the information below by using the Medicare nursing home compare tool.

We have focused on the facilities in the area which provide the lowest quality of care, so if you would like to see how any home not listed compares, you can access the tool at https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare.
