Not what we expected
We knew it was assisted living but thought there would be more oversight concerning Mom's health, like simple observation from staff helping her dress or bathe, or housekeeping. We had to ask them to evaluate her when we observed various things. Getting a UTI test took days, there was no guarantee of seeing a doctor once a week. Mom ended up with a severe UTI that landed in the hospital with serious mental decline. She went to another place for rehab. BC just was not a good fit for her needs. Using the facility's doctor was a bureaucratic nightmare. We had to push for a urine test with the nursing staff. Then we had to wait for the doctor who was in Richmond to say, yes, do a urine test. Then getting the test was hit or miss. Finally after getting it, it had to be sent to a lab somewhere so it may not be picked up that day. And then wait for the results to be returned to the BC staff, then for the staff to read it and act on the orders from the doctor.

A Great Place for Mom
Everyone knew the names of guests and guests knew the staff names. It is a place where active seniors are helping each other. The kitchen is not attentive to diet restrictions and they served same food for 4 meals straight.

Review for Bentley Commons Senior Living Community
I would say the director is very nice and caring but the place is understaffed. The whole med department needs an overhaul. A lot of building issues, leaks, faulty electrical and I know they are working on remodel but it is REALLY slow.

Not recommended
I was previously a resident at Bentley Commons Senior Living Community and the facility/my experience was okay. To me, this facility was awful. All the aides would do is take me up to the third floor to my room. Not all of the aides, but most of the older ones. The med tech, [name removed], never spoke to me. That includes from the first day that she came to give me my medicine. [Name removed], the administrator, is nice and he tries hard. He truly wants the best for his people, I hope he can be rewarded for all that he is putting into Bentley Commons. The food was good at first. One thing that they did do well was showers. As for me, I would never go back to Bentley Commons.

Review for Bentley Commons Senior Living Community
My loved one is getting good care. They can improve with communication. My mother has had trouble getting her front door fixed even though we have reported it several times. When she first moved in they raised the price and did not tells us until we were signing the paperwork. We have been in constant contact with the facility so there was absolutely no reason why they could not have communicated.

I did a virtual tour with Bentley Commons and it was great. The space looked very nice. It is more for independent living so the rooms were larger. The staff were all super nice and the executive director was great.

Tour of Bentley Commons
We were not the biggest fan of the location. You walk in and it is absolutely beautiful, they have a big grand entrance. But immediately what we saw was a lot of residents in wheelchairs. The assisted living and independent living residents are mixed so it just has a whole different feel to it and that is not what my mom was looking for.

I really liked Bentley Commons, we had a good tour experience. The reason we did not choose them was due to the proximity and they had add on fees here so we would not know what we are paying each month.

A great fit for my friend
We chose this facility because it was clean and it had people who cared with nice programs. It looked like a really good fit for my friend. The room sizes are adequate, so it is great for what she needs. She brags on the food all the time, she really likes it. The residents have several options they are able to choose from off of a menu. My favorite part about the community would be the skilled care that my friend is getting. It is very comforting for the family. I would definitely recommend Bentley Commons Senior Living.

Not what we expected
We were expecting a wonderful experience for our family member. The staff was lovely when we visited. We were treated like royalty. However, after move in, everything changed. The office people weren't friendly anymore to our family or resident. We noticed many people sitting around sleeping in the open areas. It looked like a nursing home I stead of independent and assisted living. The quality of the food was poor. I wouldn't recommend this facility.

Bentley is very common
We were extremely disappointed when visiting our friend at Bentley commons. The grounds were dirty and not well maintained. Large groups of staff were frequently outside smoking! The foyer is very beautiful. We stayed for lunch and the food was not healthy. Our friend assured us that it was the normal. The apartment was ok, but dated. The aids seemed to have lots of extra time. Groups of staff talking in public areas while patients were literally crying and screaming for someone.

I was very impressed by Bentley Commons and when the need for respite care comes so my husband and I can get out of town they would definitely be my first choice. I love how bright it is when you walk into their entrance and it is obvious where to check in. The dining room is beautiful and they have plenty of activities for their residents. The onsite beauty shop is a real plus for the elderly ladies, too. The apartment I was shown is a very generous size. The only negative I could possibly share is that respite care is on an “as available” basis. I can understand why Bentley Commons can’t guarantee a place, but once it is determined that a place is available for a specific time period, it should not be sold or given to anyone else. It makes family planning too difficult and there isn’t always going to be a back up plan for care. Of course, this works both ways and if the family makes a commitment there should be a penalty if they decide to go in another direction.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Virginia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia regulations for Assisted Living.
