pros and cons, overall a great place, would recommend

I can say that the new director [name removed] is nice, attentive, and strives to please. As well as [name removed], the sales & marketing. The aides usually assist the residents. The nurses are always at the medicine cart at the dining room entrance giving out meds. I don't think they go to a residents room unless they have to. You can use this if you like. I'm my mom's only advocate, I know my judgement is a bit harsh. The facility is very upscale when you are there. It's a very nice building with activities that my mom liked.

Happy with our decision, would recommend!

Memory Care activities sound good. Pricing was good but add ons were confusing. Not as clean as I prefer.

Many activities to choose from!

This is a great place! Commonwealth is very clean and the staff is friendly. There are lots of activities that were offered, some of which my father participated in, such as family movie nights that happen once a month, bible studies and different outings. I would recommend Commonwealth!

very satisfied

I am very satisfied with Commonwealth Assisted Living at South Boston. Based on the times we have been there visiting everything has been wonderful at this facility. Mom has dementia and she is very young but at this facility she is really engaging in the activities. At this point I would say everything is going really well here.

Eleanor Robinson

My mother was a resident at Commonwealth Assisted Living at South Boston for five years. The care she was given was outstanding. Over the five years she was a resident, my wife and I were able to get to know the staff that cared for her – they were friendly, courteous and caring and her personal appearance always reflected the excellent care she was given. When Commonwealth became the new owners a few years ago, we were concerned they would make personnel changes. To our delight there were no changes in the personnel responsible for her personal care – but there were major improvements in the building. We were fortunate to have my mother be a charter resident of the Sweet Memories wing – which is a beautiful addition to the residence. We noticed a marked improvement in her attitude after the move. We cannot express our gratitude enough to Commonwealth for giving us the peace of mind to know that Mom was taken care of so well and was happy as a resident.

Short But Sweet

We spent only 20 days in what started at the ER (5 trips to the ER within 8 weeks). Mom is approaching 97 years old and has lived alone since Dad died in 1983. Slowly, she has lost her independence and mobility, but still walks with a walker. Problems intensified with what I believe was improper medication. She has diminished eyesight and is unable to real labels. With much assistance at the Halifax Regional Hospital, I was able to obtain a private room at Commonwealth Assisted Living at South Boston. The staff was much like working with family. Thanks to everyone at CAL. God bless and look for us back! PS: Mom chose to return home…our reason for leaving.
