About Peterson Rehabilitation and Healthcare

+
Peterson Rehabilitation and Healthcare on Homestead Avenue in Wheeling, WV, is dedicated to helping residents regain function, independence, and quality of life through expert skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. Operating as a for-profit Limited Liability Company, Peterson combines the responsiveness and flexibility of an independently structured facility with a strong focus on measurable outcomes and highly individualized care plans. The facility's rehabilitation team — including licensed physical, occupational, and speech-language therapists — works closely with each resident's physician to design recovery programs tailored to individual goals and medical history. Whether recovering from a stroke, joint replacement, cardiac event, or complex medical condition, residents receive targeted, progressive therapy in a supportive environment focused on restoring maximum function and enabling a successful return to community living whenever possible. Wheeling's location along the Ohio River in West Virginia's Northern Panhandle places Peterson's residents and families within reach of a full range of city amenities. WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital is a short distance away, providing specialist consultation and emergency backup. The Highlands Town Centre in Triadelphia offers major retailers, restaurants, and everyday services within easy driving distance. The Wheeling Heritage Trail, running along the Ohio River, provides a picturesque setting for outdoor walks during family visits. Oglebay Resort — a beloved regional destination with golf, gardens, and fine dining — is accessible for family day trips, making visits to Wheeling an experience worth extending. Peterson's interdisciplinary care team coordinates closely with discharging hospitals and community physicians to ensure smooth, safe transitions from hospital to rehabilitation and, ultimately, back to home. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance plans, and works with families to navigate coverage and payment options so that high-quality skilled nursing and rehabilitation remains accessible throughout the Wheeling community.
