My husband, the resident said it best..."It's relaxing." " I always have something to do." The staff is friendly and patient with the residents. The ratio of staff to residents is excellent, always. I would happily recommend Commonwealth Senior Living to anyone needing placement for a memory care family member. The small community provides caring individual attention and activities. The dining room is calm and quiet, with seconds and thirds happily served. Last night, my loved one drank four bowls of the butternut squash soup! [name removed], activity leader in memory care is always cheerful! She brings a smile to my loved one throughout the day!

Welcoming and Engaging

The staff at Commonwealth was very helpful when we moved my mom into memory care. They provide a welcoming, safe and engaging environment with a variety of activities for residents. They interviewed our family to understand my mom's life story and her unique interests.

Friendly Staff

There's no large buy in fee, the apartments rent month-to-month. The staff is really nice there as well as all the tenants I've met. Everything except the laundry fee is included in the monthly fee, including two meals a day for independent living, and three meals for assisted-living. The facility is always clean and bright.

Turn Around.

I thank[name removed] so much for helping me and guiding me. Commonwealth has been the best thing for my brother. When he initiated came to Commonwealth, he was dependent on staff in getting out of bed and assistance with his incontinence care. He is now able to get out of bed and transfer to his wheelchair by himself. He is wearing pull ups instead of briefs for his incontinence care and is able to take himself to the bathroom. His walking and ambulation have improved significantly as in physical therapy stated that he can walk the length of a football field compared to a room. He enjoys the food and is eating well and has gained about 15 to 20 pounds, which has been a beneficial weight gain. I can't say enough with my brother's improvement. This has been a true blessing!

Friendly staff and residents. Would recommend.

I like just about everything about the facility. The staff at all levels is extremely friendly and competent. The residents are also very cordial and welcoming. I wish they had gym facilities. The cost is very reasonable. The food is mediocre. I would recommend CSL for any prospective residents.

Review for Commonwealth Senior Living at Charlottesville

It just felt right. The little balcony in my apt is perfect for my outdoor plants and it's a nice size apartment. It's good for the most part. My apt is the big thing for me, and making lots of new friends!! A Place for Mom was a huge help -- making appointments for me! I visited 9 places in all which was a most interesting exercise.

Our families experience

The staff members at Commonwealth are super friendly, at times they do see understaffed but the staff they do have there do a great job. The care services are very good, our loved one has actually improved since moving there. The community is always clean and they always have someone there picking up things. The rooms are really nice with tall ceiling, very open and have plenty of storage. Overall the meals look pretty good, the assisted living side seems more like going to a restaurant whereas for the memory care side they bring the meals to the residents. However it is to be expected and they seem good. Based on the activities board it seems like they have good things going on. They take little day trips - recently some of the residents on the memory care side went out to get ice cream. They have little music concerts, a TV lounge, and different memory care activities and games.

Outstanding

They genuinely care, and they've proved it. During the Covid outbreak when my mom was there, I watched the administrators work excessive hours to fill in the holes and to also help out their staff. The facility itself is good, and there is plenty of room for the residents to move around. The activities are great. I've been in the healthcare field for 30 years and was very impressed with this place. My mother passed away there, and what they did for her and my family was above and beyond. I have absolutely no regrets about sending her there.

Commonwealth's location was very convenient for me. But the facility was a little more dated. The cabinetry was dated, and the bathrooms didn't have good shower access.

We chose Commonwealth because of the convenient location, we liked the size of the facility, and it was very clean. Staff were also super friendly and the price was pretty reasonable as well. They have a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment it is great for what they need. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

I would recommend

We chose Commonwealth Senior Living because I thought it was a really good size, we looked at some bigger facilities and this one seemed like a much nicer scale where she could get to know people better. I figured the staff members got to know residents better that way as well. It is a very unusual year and my mom moved in right before covid hit, so it is hard to asses some of the programs but I know that they have them available so we are looking forward to that. I think they did a tremendous job keeping residents safe during covid and they made smart decisions and were great with communication. I would recommend to others looking.

Friendly and affordably priced

We chose Commonwealth Senior Living because of the location to other family members as well as it was reasonably priced compared to other facilities for what they offered. They have 3 different sections to the facility, memory care, independent living, and assisted living. My aunt was in independent living and she had a good sized apartment. When she moved into assisted living, it was more like a good sized hotel room. My favorite part about the facility is the friendliness of the staff members here.

Happy in Virginia

We moved our parents into Commonwealth Senior Living a few months ago and are so pleased with the friendly staff, their dinning choices and the spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom independent living apartment. They have activities every day to choose from if they want or they can do things on their own. They have the security of help close by if they need it. This gives us peace of mind to know they are in a safe place and taken care of while we are not there. They love their independence, the wonderfully prepared meals and the new friends they have made. The staff is super friendly and the maintenance staff responds quickly when anything arises. Thanks to A Place For Mom for helping us find this place ??

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.
