Older Adult & Caregiver Resource & Referral Services and Retirement Housing for Independent Older Adults
DO YOU NEED HELP?
Finding services for an older adult can be a daunting task. So many questions!
- What services are available?
- What's right for my family member?
- Do you think you're on track but need to discuss your situation to see if you're missing anything?
LET US HELP! You can send your inquiry through our web page or email (akoegler1995@gmail.com). We will return your call as soon as we can. We will try to direct you to the options that best suit your needs. You are also welcome to make an appointment and come to talk to us in person!
Education
Education is an important part of providing care whether you are a family caregiver or a professional caregiver. Caregivers need information. Whether they are just starting and need to learn about resources or whether they have been caregivers for some time and need to look at more help or long-term care, caregivers need to stay informed.
Free personal enrichment programs are offered that focus on issues relevant to our aging population. These programs are offered to increase knowledge, promote learning, provide resources, and enable all interested to be better advocates for themselves, their families, and friends by improving their understanding of issues and options. We are happy to partner with community agencies to offer programs.
General informational programs encourage community members to "get out of the house" and enjoy themselves. We have cosponsored several programs with Family Service Upper Ohio Valley.

RETIREMENT HOUSING
Altenheim has been a presence in Wheeling since 1891 when Anton Reymann established retirement housing for women. These women were mostly German immigrants who had worked in the homes of Wheeling families. When they came to retirement age, their resources for housing were limited and most did not want to return to Europe. Mr. Reymann established a trust, purchased the Mt Belleview Hotel in Wheeling, and turned it over to a Board of Trustees to oversee the facility.
Times have changed and options are now more varied. To accommodate our community, we have changed too. We now offer modern and stylish cottages for independent adults who are 65 and older.
- Eight free-standing cottages - 3 A-frame design and 5 traditional brick design
- Each cottage has two bedrooms, two baths, living room, dining room, and kitchen
- Stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washer & dryer are included
- Our A-frames have an oversize garage, and the five larger cottages have two-car garages
- The five traditional design cottages have a basement, the A-frames do not.
- The cottages are offered on a rental basis. There are no rental subsidies.
- Utilities are not included in the monthly rental fee.
- A community gazebo is available for our residents' use.
- Pets are considered.
We'd be happy to tell you about our community!
