CLARKSBURG, WV – West Virginia Governor Jim Justice signed a bill yesterday allocating one million dollars for the West Virginia Veterans’ Nursing Facility to replace beds across the entire operation.

In a release, the governor’s office said the new beds are designed with maneuverability in mind. They can be lowered and raised as needed, and were chosen, in part, for their enhanced level of comfort.

The 120-thousand-square-foot facility in Clarksburg provides care for veterans across the Mountain State, including a special unit for vets with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
