Commonwealth Senior Living

Perfect for my 97 year old Mother

A place for mom really helped me find just the right place for my mom. This place is one of Salisburys hidden gems. Whenever I travel to see mom and to take her out for a little while it's convenient to shopping centers and restaurants without having to drive through town. Every thing is within two miles. I know not many care about that kind of stuff but after driving two hours the last thing I want is to sit or deal with traffic. I wanted to find a small place with few residents. Easy for mom to walk around and easy to get to know everyone. A place with lots of activities to keep mom active. The staff is amazing and I'm grateful to know she's well cared for and as made lots of new friends. The staff and residents all start to feel like family.

This is a lovely facility! It is very clean and the staff do the best that they can to make sure that my father is comfortable. Though my father has limited mobility, he also enjoys the activities that they have to offer.

This is a really wonderful facility! The facility looks nice and the food is great! The staff have been very nice, and I was so touched when the marketing director in particular went the extra mile to provide my mother with a temporary living arrangement until a room was available for her. We made a wonderful decision in choosing this facility!

I recently moved my father from another assisted living community to Elmcroft of Chesterfield. The difference between the two could not be greater. Elmcroft comes out on top in every category. At the previous community, my father was being charged for every service, including administration of his meds. Unfortunately, many of those services were not delivered, even when brought to the attention of management. The focus was on income to the community, not the resident. At Elmcroft the focus is on the resident. The staff is consistently caring and goes the extra mile. An alert pendant is standard in assisted living and memory care. Accommodations are available in a range of sized and prices, including shared living space. SInce my father has trouble selecting from a menu, Elmcroft provides me with menus in advance so that I can ensure that my father is served foods he likes. He has never complained about the food, a huge change. The staff bathes and helps him to dress daily, so that we can concentrate on companionship instead of bathing and dressing. Incontinence is handled with tact and a focus on retaning the dignity of the resident. The staff always greets residents by name, and are caring and compassionate at all times. Elmcroft has a warm and nurturing environment that makes residents feel safe and cared for. And I cannot say enough good things about [Removed], the executive director. She knows all of the residents names and histories. Her positive and caring focus makes Elmcroft a good place to be.

The staff here does seem fair. The thing is that some of the aides are not doing anything and certainly not the job they should be. The community is kept clean all the time. The food I would have to say is okay.

The community is currently in the process of transitioning to offer assisted living and memory care. The staff are nice. They have a continental breakfast and an evening meal included in your monthly rate. The food is acceptable. They offer daily activities and entertainers that come in. The community is clean and well taken care of. I would encourage people to look at multiple community before making a decision.

Everyone has been very helpful AND KIND.

they have been very nice there ,just wish I lived closer to there . I am very impress with the Sunday day help they really know how to get there people to do things It does bother me at times when I call and do not receive a call back when want to know something but yet I do realize they are busy.

Every one has gone out of their way to make my mother safe and happy while taking care of her physical needs. She is a private person and they have dealt with that well giving her time alone. They have not rushed her into events, but are taking things slow as they learn about her. The other patients seem well tended and some are very helpful as both Mom and I learn the ropes!

Great Place Great Help!!!

So far things are working out well. We haven't had any major complaints so far. I would think if five is the best they would be right up there, about a four and a half. We are pretty happy with them so far.

I am an only child, so I really needed all the help I could get. With the help from A Place For Mom I started my task of getting my mom the care she needed as well as moving here closer to me so I could support her and help her with the transition from her home in Richmond. Angelia was most helpful in assisting me with al the arrangements needed to allow my mother a comfortable transition to her new home. I visit my mom 3-4 times each week now, because she is only about 10-15 minutes away. My mom after about 30 days is on track to understanding why she is where she is. All the folks at Churchland House really work hard and care for all their guests. Thanks so much for all you do!

I'm happy so far. I don't really have any complaints. The only thing I would like is some more activity on the weekends. I chose them because they were smaller, and just in the beginning stages, and I thought they would get to know him. I like that his room looks out over a pond with ducks and geese. They were comparably reasonable in price, and very accommodating.

It was a nice place, and definitely was an option we considered. Had a room not opened up at our first choice, this is where we would have picked. The biggest drawback for us, was the location and the traffic on the way here. This was our second choice place though, it seemed very nice.

I really liked it. There was one old lady who had a fur coat on. I thought that was really cute. They let people be who they are which is great. She had this illusion that she bought the place and no one ever told her anything. It was really cute. The biggest problem was the location. It was a little far from where we live. The other thing is that it was expensive. I would like a flat rate. I didn't like the way they did pricing.

We are pretty happy so far. We had one concern about a staffing shortage, but they are getting a new employee, so that seems to be being addressed. The people I spoke to when I was first choosing, I clicked with them, and that's one of the reasons we chose here. I also liked that they had the Montessori memory program, and it was just a nice place.

I could not be happier with the staff and cleanliness of this facility My mother is having difficulty adjusting to her new living arrangements, and all staff members are being extremely understanding and helpful. She is unhappy with the food, but the facility is willing to offer her alternatives.

Place for Mom was a really helpful and finding a place for my husband. All the places they gave me to look at were reasonable and clean.

Everybody has been great there at Elmcroft of Chesterfield. Dad's sense of time is somewhat displaced, and they tend to be a little late with their meals, so he tends to be overly dramatic about that. But the food is good, the staff is great.
