Commonwealth Senior Living

Nice property - similar in size to current location but newer and nicer interior. All the rooms are the same size (studio) - Met with director who was very helpful.

starts at $3410.

Small, pricey and conjested with not enough amenities.....good people and experienced but the setting was questionable....

Nice place but a lot of extra little charges that raise the cost.

Toured the facility, it was clean and the Director in training very informative. Didn't see alot of visual stimulation that I feel is very important for my Mom.

This to was an okay place. I think Gerry could do well here.

While the daytime/weekday staff seemed very nice and competent, we had repeated trouble with the night/weekend staff forgetting medications or not handling them properly. My father-in-law was not only having trouble with regulating his blood pressure but was also suffering from CDIF, which required that his medication be refrigerated. It was not. Sadly, we had to move him.

My parents have lived here for 6 months they promise and tell you what you need to hear and once you get moved in you get to see all the flaws they can't keep good employees because they over work them there isn't a nurse their everyday and the weekends they don't have enough employees to take care of the residents . I know all this because i am involved with my parents care i am there every day. I have brought all these complaints or concerns to the director and she just [language removed] and agrees but does nothing. I am looking for a better place for my parents i did a better job my self when they lived in their own home. I feel sorry for the residents that have no one to speak up for them.

The staff, except for a few, at CSL seem to genuinely care about the residents and their benefit. However, the staff needs to leave their cellphones at home or in the main office and pay more attention to the residents. There is too much noise and chatter coming from the nursing staff and medical management could be improved. Several times the staff failed to give my wife her prescribed antibiotics and heart medication. The food and presentation is quite good given the amount of different diets and preferences, They have gone through 3-4 activities persons in the last 7 months which takes away from the socialization and participation of the residents,

Some signs of improvement of this home for the aged in the past few weeks. More staff visible, working and checking on residents. Beds are being made and hydration stations are cold & filled. Bringing residents out of their rooms to socialize or just be together in the beautiful, numerous sitting areas is still lacking. Doing a review on this site enables real change to occur and we thank this site & others for their service. This is such an important issue because many are afraid or unable to speak themselves. Keep checking this facility especially on weekends and speak truth to the issues so we can hold the owner of this community accountable.

It is too early to write a review. I will give a comprehensive review after 6 months. One positive is that my mother seems content with her status.

***There are not enough staff from 7pm to 7am. **Bells and calls for help at night are unanswered. Have complained. Staff is friendly and caring to the residents.

I'd like to give a good rating as I do have hope for this place but because of the transition they are going through everything is quite a mess. People are not getting what they are promised. The management is not at it's best, that's for sure. I think there is a great potential but having seen first hand the moving in process for a loved one was seriously overlooked. Once they got the lease signed, it was brush off city with no follow up.

My dad did not participate in the activities, but the activities person did include him. Overall, I was highly disappointed in the responsiveness of the business and health staff to questions and concerns about my father's treatment. Even at the end after my father passed, there was a bill for [fee removed] we could not get satisfaction through a conversation. My father was transferred to a skilled nursing facility in which he was provided with better care. Commonwealth was a private institution... But the medicare facility took much more interest in the families.

Remember this was 1.5 years ago. Their own staff was unhappy with how the supervisors ran the operation. The pharmacy management was particularly bad.

Positives: Beautiful view of the lake, bright open dining room, near the turnpike, nice spots to sit outside, overall look is clean and pleasing, some caring staff members, food is pretty decent. Negatives: High turnover rate (including admin), staff do not receive sufficient training (as said by the director herself), lack of responsibility. Staff breaks expensive medical equipment and is not held accountable. My father has had meals skipped because they forgot him. He's also not received medication. Emergency button had been taken away because he needed to be changed and had been sitting for over two hours. Promises are made by admin with no follow through. Liquor has been stolen from room. Legal, medical decisions have been made without going through the proper channels and without family consent.

My mother went to this facility when she became significantly debilitated after a hospitalization. She and I are both arms. She required assistance with all ADLs, which we were assured would be provided by the staff and had planned to phase her home caregivers out after a couple of weeks. We ended up keeping them on and extending their hours to ten per day. The aides complained often about the poor care. Against her wishes, my mother was put in bed shortly after 8:00 pm most nights. When staff arrived at 8:00 am she was still in bed most mornings. PRN medications for pain were often not provided when she requested them. There were other problems with medications as well. We did have fantastic results with the PT and OT staff, who helped her regain quite a bit of her mobility. She will be moving to a very nice but less expensive Independent living community with a live-in aide, where we will not have to pay for the assisted living fee and where we can handle her medications.

We had a staff member steal money from my Dad's wallet and replace it with a new empty wallet while he was asleep Staff did nothing Police were contacted. We moved

Prices went up, meals are awful and safety of residents is so low on their radar. We actually just took my Aunt out of Commonwealth and she is thriving already. You shouldn't have to pay extra to have care takers come in to care for loved ones. I would NEVER recommend this facility. We came so close to contacting an Ombudsman to look into the care but family members were afraid of retaliation.

My loved one was a resident at Commonwealth Senior Living at Hampton. I would not recommend this facility to others, our experience was not great. The staff is friendly, but they don't seem to follow through with what they say they will do.
