Amenities and daily life
A home worth living in.
Lavender Fields is not a facility with amenities. It is a home where life keeps happening. Meals cooked from scratch. Tractor rides through Beverly. Dogs on the lawn. The same front porch, every morning.
Outside, and out in Beverly
Residents are not kept indoors. The front porch faces Water Street. The tractor wagon goes downtown. Beverly's parades pass right by the front door.
Front porch on Water Street
Residents sit outside and watch Beverly go by. The porch is shaded, comfortable, and used every day the weather allows.
Tractor wagon rides
The red Ford tractor pulls a wagon through downtown Beverly. Residents ride through town, wave at neighbors, and feel like part of the community.
Community events and parades
Beverly's Heritage Center parade and community events pass right by the home. Residents watch from the porch or ride along on the tram.
Patio and garden
A patio garden gives residents a place to sit outside, tend plants, and spend time in the fresh air without leaving the property.

Food that tastes like someone made it
About 85 percent of what residents eat is fresh, not processed. Meals are cooked in the house kitchen, not delivered from a central facility. Residents smell breakfast before they see it.

Days with something in them
Activities at Lavender Fields are not scheduled to fill time. They are chosen because residents enjoy them.
Chair fitness
Gentle movement and exercise adapted for all ability levels. A regular part of the weekly routine.
Gardening
Residents who want to get their hands in the dirt can. The patio garden is tended by residents and staff together.
Animal visits
Dogs visit regularly. Residents who love animals have regular time with them.
Community outings
Tractor rides, tram trips, and community events keep residents connected to Beverly and to life outside the house.
Shared meals and conversation
Mealtimes are social. Residents eat together, talk, and spend time with people they know.
Seasonal celebrations
Holidays and seasons are marked with decorations, special meals, and activities that feel like home.
Movement matters here.
Staying active isn't just good for the body. It lifts mood, improves sleep, and gives residents something to look forward to. We make it a regular part of life at Lavender Fields, not an afterthought.
Chair exercise classes, walks on the grounds, stretching in the sunroom. Whatever the level, there's something for everyone. And yes, arms go up.
Kids come here.
Lavender Fields has a partnership with Beverly Grade School. Students come to the house to spend time with residents, do crafts, share a meal, and just be together. It is one of the most alive things that happens here.
For a while we hosted Student of the Month awards — the student council from Beverly Grade School would come to the house, recognize kids who had done something worth celebrating, and hand out medals in front of the residents. The dining room filled up. Everyone had somewhere to be.
We have not done that program in a while. But the spirit of it has not gone anywhere. If you move in here and you care about young people — about giving back, about staying connected to the community — we will find something. There are residents who have always done charity work. That does not have to stop.
Life here is not just about being cared for. It is about still having something to give.
The house itself
Sixteen private bedrooms. A shared kitchen and dining room. A sunroom with views of the Tygart Valley River. A front porch facing Water Street in historic Beverly.
16 private bedrooms
Each resident has their own room. Private space matters, especially in a small home.
Sunroom with river views
The Tygart Valley River is visible from the sunroom. It is a quiet place to sit and look out.
Shared kitchen and dining
The kitchen is the heart of the house. Residents can be near it, smell what is cooking, and eat together.
Historic Beverly location
150 Water Street sits in the heart of Beverly, six miles from Elkins. The town is small, walkable, and full of community.
Their room. Their stuff. Their life.
The room belongs to them. Hang the photos. Set up the equipment. Bring the chair that has always been theirs. One of our residents is a retired Air Force officer — his HAM radio came with him, his world map went on the wall, and his certificate hangs right where he can see it.
That is what we mean when we say it is their home. We have furniture and linens here if families want to move in light, but most bring what makes a place feel like theirs.
About bathrooms: most rooms do not have private baths, and that is intentional. For residents living with dementia, a private bathroom can become a source of confusion or falls. Staff-assisted means every visit is safe and dignified. We also have six rooms with half baths for residents who are more independent.
Come see it for yourself.
A phone call or a visit is the best way to understand what Lavender Fields is. We are happy to show you around.
