History
Since 1958, and through many changes and adjustments, Sundale Nursing Home has continued to provide quality care and maintain a “Tradition of Caring.”
In 1958, Sundale was originally established by the Monongalia County Commission as a non-profit organization to care for the elderly and named Sundale Rest Home. The original home was located in an older home on Van Voorhis Road, where the Monongalia Home Corporation was established to oversee the operation.
Sundale Nursing Home is a newly remodeled, 100 bed facility located on J.D. Anderson Drive in Morgantown. Staff have an ultimate goal of returning as many residents to the community as possible. For those residents unable to return to the community, Sundale is dedicated to maintaining them at their highest level of functioning.
