Braley Care Homes

Braley Care Homes Memory care center specializing in assisted living in a home like environment for those battling Alz

Memory care home opened by Chris and Dean Braley on March 29, 2005. Braley Care Homes expanded into Alzheimer’s and Dementia care in 2008. Chris Braley is the owner and administrator of Braley Care Homes and it remains the only free standing Alzheimer’s Dementia care Facility in West Virginia. Our facility was built with dementia care in mind and is the ideal environment for someone with this disease. It is locked 24 hours per day and has a beautiful outdoor courtyard with a pastoral view, which is secure at all times. Our activities and behavior programming is geared toward meeting each individual’s needs, which helps keep their anxiety level down and reduces the risk of behavior. Chris Braley has a bachelor’s and Master’s degree in social work and is an LICSW (licensed independent clinical social worker). Chris has worked in the mental health field for almost 20 years, and knows that quality care comes best in a homelike environment. Chris shares, “dementia is not only in my professional life, but also in my personal life. My grandmother and father suffered from dementia, so I know the pain the families go through as they watch helplessly as their love one suffers. I like to think that Braley Care home is able to lessen this helpless feeling for families, at least this is my goal.”

It’s with a heavy heart that we need to let everyone know that Sweetie has passed away. She overcame a lot with diabetes and going blind. She was a fighter and gave it all she had til the end. She passed away peacefully. Sweetie was the best dog anyone could ever have. She loved everyone- the residents, staff, visitors, and families. Anyone that met Sweetie fell in love with her. She will be sadly missed. Enjoy these memories of Sweetie!🐾🦴🩷

Braley Care Homes is proud to support Dementia-Friendly St. Albans and the important work being done to create a more understanding and inclusive community. Local businesses came together to give back, donating a portion of their proceeds to support dementia awareness and resources for families and caregivers.

One of the highlights was the “No Hush Movie” experience, where caregivers and their loved ones could enjoy a film together in a safe, welcoming environment—free to sing, talk, and enjoy the moment without worry. Events like these help caregivers feel supported while allowing individuals living with dementia to remain connected and engaged in their community.

Through continued outreach, support groups, and community involvement, Braley Care Homes remains committed to helping families navigate the dementia journey with compassion, understanding, and meaningful experiences.

Winter weather isn’t slowing us down at Braley Care Homes! From surprise snowball fights to building miniature snowmen, our residents are embracing the magic of the season while staying warm and comfortable indoors. Watching the snowfall, sharing laughter, and reminiscing about winters past helps spark meaningful memories and positive emotions.

The fun continues with exciting events planned throughout the season, including themed celebrations, a Taste of Italy experience with live Frank Sinatra music, a festive Mardi Gras party, Valentine’s festivities, and even a chili cook-off bringing residents, staff, and families together. Keeping the mind and body active through joyful activities helps create a safe, engaging environment where everyone can feel comfortable, connected, and uplifted.

At Braley Care Homes, every season is an opportunity to create moments of happiness — because a little laughter, movement, and togetherness can make even the coldest days feel warm.
