Commonwealth Senior Living

The staff that I have had contact with are very good, efficient, and caring. The facility is very clean. Room cleaners could do better re: floors walls . Kitchen staff generally have really good well balanced meals. I do think the weekend coverage is a little bit less than desired.

1. Overall experience 4- first impression was mostly positive and that didn't change over time 2. Cleanliness 4- building always appeared clean and unpleasant odors were usually minimal 3. Friendliness 4- my first impression of staff friendliness might have been a 3 but in hindsight I think they were just extremely busy. As we became more familiar the staff were friendly and helpful. 4. Quality of care 3- this score is not a reflection of attitude of the caregivers but instead speaks to the number of staff per patient and perhaps training and skill levels. I think the staff were doing the best they could with a limited workforce and limited resources. 5. Administrative staff 4- most were very helpful and willing to spend the time to answer questions 6. Food 3- the food in memory care was nourishing but not always appealing 7. Activities 3- activities for memory care seemed very limited however the capabilities of the residents had to be considered 8. Value for Money 4- I believe that overall Commonwealth at Bon Air presented a reasonable value for money

They have some exciting renovations happening now . The facility is nice . The apartments are upgraded . They just need better kitchen service, It takes a long time to get your meal and it's not quite enough food for my Dad. He does wish there were better games and maybe play more music.

Overall I have found Commonwealth to be very nice. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Overall my needs are met and my friends who have visited me have felt the facility to be very welcoming and friendly. No place is perfect but I don't think I can find any place any better than Commonwealth. The price is pretty reasonable.

The commonwealth was the best but we had issues. They did not make sure mom took her medicine and she would become aggressive and agitated. The medicine was critical for her behavior. All facilities like that only want patients who are calm and are easy to watch over. Good luck. I'm not just speculating about her meds. We have the ER records and records from commonwealth to prove they failed to get her medication in her. The facility was great and staff was great. Mom had no mind to choose to take her medicine so I feel they could have a better job knowing she would be aggravated.

Had a couple issues with the staff, but the director took care of the issues. My aunt has adjusted to the change, which is hard for her, any change. The staff all know her. The dining room/kitchen staff all know her dietary issues of what she can't have and they usually do a great job. I've eaten there a few times and the food is good. Her hearing is very bad, but she doesn't miss bingo! She sits by the caller so she can hear the numbers being called. They have an activities director who is very good. Everyone is very friendly. The room is on the small side, but she has room for her bed, lift chair, bookcase, table, desk, and night stand. She has a bay window in her room. She loves looking out and seeing wild turkeys, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife.

Commonwealth went above and beyond to help make my loved one feel at home. She required a lot of one on one assistance and the staff was always willing to accommodate. The place immediately felt like home. Thanks to all those who made it happen

I love the fact that they take them out for like museum trips, dinner or lunch just a country drive and the staff I find is very friendly. I would definitely recommend Commonwealth Senior Living.

My mom got great care ,for her last days, with the Common Wealth staff support ,and hospice care!! Our experience was comfortable, from the perspective that she was in good hands and safe...

Put the patients name on everything! Clothing, shoes, bedding. Don't send any valuable clothing. A brand new pair of Levi's and two very nice sweaters disappeared and were never found as well as some of my husband's bedding. Also the food in memory care was not even close to the farm to table we were promised.

They show having a salon when you take a tour but they really don't. Yes, we would recommend the community to other families based on the experience so far.

Has improved since I believe they aren't full and there are more employees per patient. Also noticed they now have cleaning staff on the weekends which helps everyone. The food always looks good when I am there and my Dad can get seconds if he wants. My Mom primarily handles things so zi dont have dealings with Admin but she says they are responsive when she has issues or questions. I think they do have activities but not on the weekend I dont think. There are toys available to use if we want to during the visit. She is also there every day so Im sure that helps his care as she gets to know everyone and is not afraid to speak up. They have a nice outdoor area for patients and when its not so hot it is a nice place to visit. Mom has switched his room a few times and they have always accommodated her. (One was smaller and one was noisy with the ac unit nearby I think. Oh another thing they are good at is when there is a shift change, they communicate well with each other

Very accessible to Nursing for questions.. very kind and helpful staff, a lot of activities. Beautiful front porch for them to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful mountain views. One downside is they are having trouble keeping a hairdresser, but they are always trying to rehire someone. I would highly recommend Commonwealth senior living in front Royal to anyone. I'm very satisfied with how my mother has been acclimated to her new situation and she is thriving and even doing much better than she was.

They just did landscaping around all the villas and the assisted living building. Very nice. Waiting on maintenance is still somewhat of a problem but better since they fired their maintenance head. I would welcome more communication with the main building. My brother's biggest challenge is the walk from his villa to the main building for food and activities. Too far for him to walk and exposed to the elements if he does.

We had an issue with dad's safety in memory care, but there are many good things we could say as well. It's unfortunate. I would maybe recommend for; assisted living, but not sure about memory care.

I was really impressed with: my elderly aunt was in hospice, but was a huge lover of nature and wildlife. Despite being in hospice and having dementia, staff at Churchland house brought her to a local park the day before she passed, and also on outings for ice cream and other activities that she had not done in years. I had transferred her from a facility out of state where I feel like she was warehouse and it was such a blessing that she was able to go outside and have a private room and such personalized care. Both of my elderly parents passed in 2014 and 2016 they were also in assisted living but the facility where they were at did not have such amazing activities or such great food – I wish that I was able to provide them with that experience as I was for my aunt.

The staff, while not as many as I feel is needed, were great.

Everybody there has been extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend Commonwealth North Byron.

[name removed] is a very capable worker who bonded with my mother, who was there for hospice care. Always there when she needed something. Food is excellent, and as with other places, staffing can be a little light on weekends . Overall, 4.5 on a 1 to 5 scale

Mom isn't really taking advantage of the activities and doesn't always care for the food. She's very picky. They keep the place pretty clean. Sometimes mom doesn't have a trash bag and her carpet looks like it needs a vacuum (she drops a lot of crumbs), but that's about it. The staff is extremely friendly and supportive. Mom has been having issues with two of the male residents though. Admin is nice and approachable. The food is plentiful but not the best at dietary restrictions (like being a vegetarian). Good variety.
