Great Place
My mother in law is doing very well since moving here. She is keeping very busy with all the activities they offer and making friends with the residents as she can. She loves the staff but we are disappointed that we learned the activities director has left the staff and she was one of the major reasons why we chose the community in the first place. Hopefully, they will get someone as dynamic as the previous one. We would recommend this community if asked.

Father in Law is Doing Fantastic in This Community
We are very pleased with my father in law move to this community. He is doing fantastic, and everything is working out very well. We know he is safe, and in a good facility. They have a good staff. They are good with their communication, and providing him with good care. When we visit the community, and his room are well maintained. The experience is going well for us in this community, and I would recommend it.

Decent Tour
I had a pretty decent tour of this community. Everything went well for the most. The community from what I saw looked decent. The staff was kind, and friendly. There were many factors that played into where to move my father too. This wasn't the right fit for him, and his needs.

Very cold community!!
I was not impressed with this community when I had taken my tour for my mother. The entire building felt very cold and did not have a home feeling I would want for her to live in. I felt like I was walking on a cruise ship or checking into a hotel it just was not the right fit for her.

This facility was nice. One associate I met there seemed excellent in her care of the Memory folks. [Removed] could transition to Memory Care if necessary. Parking outside was inefficient. They had a lot of family functions going on, although great for some, not necessarily for [Removed]. It seemed like she could become isolated again there. The room was very nice, only one left. The pricing was as high as Brookdale. Scheduled an assessment for 2/17. Haven't heard back from Jamie yet on the rating.

The Staff Show Great Characteristics
My mom is settling in for the second time, she had to leave for a month. However the community is a smaller venue which fits my moms needs. The carpet in the new wing gets tough for her at times, she uses a wheelchair. My mom enjoys the meals and its selections. The personnel are concerned, compassionate and attentive. They are not just there for a paycheck, we really like the staff. The residents are all friendly too.

Good Respite Stay
My husband had a good respite stay experience here at this community. It is a nice community, and they did a good job caring for him and his needs. I was pleased with all they did for us. It was a good experience for him, and I knew he was in good hands. This is a lovely community.

Much Improvement Since Commonwealth Took Over
Since Commonwealth Assisted Living took over this community at the end of April 2015 the improvements have been amazing! They increased care staff, added another LPN, brought in a real chef and began serving fresh food. They added more housekeeping and have administrative staff on site seven days a week. My mom is so happy with the improvements as are her table mates. We highly recommend this community to anyone looking for help in caring for their loved one.

Friendly, professional staff
Our experience with Commonwealth Assisted Living was a good one, overall! The staff here does an excellent job looking after the residents. They are friendly, professional, and very polite! Really the only issue we had is that Mom feels that the other residents here are "too old".

Residents on their own
Residents need companions or aides for 7pm to 7am due to staffing issues with the level of care for certain residents. The residents calls for help or bells will not be responded to quickly if any during these hours due to aides assisting in giving showers and putting to bed making the the aides unavailable for any other resident in the community as there are no nurses or lpns present on site during these hours. There is no management during these hours only two aides or three and one must pass meds to the entire community. This was the case a month ago need to verify yourself that it is not the case if you are considering

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.
