The friendly staff and clean facility made our family feel comfortable leaving our loved one in their care.
I really liked the staff. They can improve on taking time with the patient's appearance a little more. Making sure their hair is brushed every day.

Overall, we have been very happy with Commonwealth from the time [name removed] (our advisor from A Place for Mom) recommended Commonwealth, [name removed], the sales rep, and most especially [name removed] , the Director. The meals have improved greatly this week since they hired a new chef. I think [name removed] and the staff are working very hard to making this a welcoming space for Seniors. I do wish there would be more outreach to get my Mom involved, but she is an introvert! The exterior is always decorated beautifully for the various seasons.

Mom was sent to the hospital within 24 hours of checking in. And then we were billed over $[removed] for her less than 24 hours residency. What a total nightmare sorting that through. It took us weeks to finally get an accounting that was then completely incorrect even if she had been there longer. I really have nothing more to say.

Staff great; apartment size better than most; food was terrible; very sanitary; ED not as personable than previous one. Unfortunate that my mother had to leave. The facility wanted her to move to a small apartment in memory care that was not appropriate. Moved her to another facility that accommodated her in assisted living.

Commonwealth was a Godsend after [facility name removed] sold to Charter. I had to remove my father from Charter as the care after Covid (and probably during) went downhill. Commonwealth was a wonderful place for my Dad. My dad was never left in his room. He had dementia, was the sweetest man and they would include him everyday, at least in the day room. The activities director was phenomenal, to include the fact that she realized that my dad was a brilliant engineer before his mental decline. He always wanted to be helpful. She had her husband tangle up packing straps. She brought them in and asked my dad to untangle them as her husband had a hard time doing that. He was in his glory, being useful, with his hands. He died there, and his last few days, he was unresponsive. The nurses, along with the hospice provided, were wonderful. I can't say enough. He was in the memory care wing. It was clean, active, and a good place for him.

the quality of meals has been inconsistent due to staffing problems for several months. Activities are fairly standard. Value is that meals for independent living consist of serve yourself continental breakfast and dinner (no lunch). I never went to breakfast and made my own dinner at least 4 or 5 times a week. Housekeeping in apartments is inconsistent although that is probably more about the assigned cleaner than the housekeeping department. Monthly rent went up by about $400 in the 15 months I lived there. The facility is very clean and well maintained. There have been at least 3 Executive Directors and 2 people temporarily assigned to that position over the past year. The activities staff are excellent. [name removed] and [name removed] are wonderful. Shuttle service to appointments is excellent.

The staff is courteous and very professional however communication with more senior level managers/directors is difficult at best, not responsive at all.

These are my loved ones answers - The staff is very nice and responsive but the problem isn't always resolved and requires follow up. That would be our comment on staff.

The overall experience so far has been excellent and the people are receptive. aides are special, they're willing to assist anyway they can. The community is kept fairly clean and the friendliness of the staff is excellent. The care services is very good. When buzzed, it may take longer to respond when short of help. The food is very good. there are times when the meat is tough. The activities are excellent and it is fair pricing for assistance living. I've become more independent, still need someone to assist showering. I do want to say is that health care SNAs and med-techs work very hard and at times are overworked, underpaid and very much under . appreciated. i experienced this when I was in rehab after my stroke. all care institutions are experiencing the same problems especially when we. (as a patient in assisted living) when we wait for a long period of time for help to go to the bathroom.) because there is only one SNA on the floor. perhaps that problem will be solved someday.

We loved it. It was a newer facility. I talked to one of the residents, and had a good conversation. It was a step-up and had bigger rooms.

I truly wish I'd moved Dad from the previous care facility (which shall remain nameless) to Commonwealth earlier. The staff, nurses, Activity Director all made a happy difference for my Dad. I can't thank them enough. They were there when I needed them most, in his final days in hospice care. So much care, so much understanding. He was kept happily busy with the organized and well thought out activities. When the time came to say goodbye to my 90 (almost 91) year old Dad, I was guided and assisted by whom I can only describe as angels, such wonderful women, who were there through every step of his last days. I am beyond grateful for them and all who work in this facility. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, clean, organized place to move their loved one.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a very nice facility, the staff all seemed very professionally an. However what was the deciding factor to not pick this community is that in their memory care unit, the memory units are shared rooms and that was just not going to happen for our loved one.

Within a week of my husband being there he looked healthier than he had in a long time. Housekeeping was good, it was always clean. Communication with the family was ok. As far as activities, he was in memory care so that's more challenging. But they did well and gave them activities with a purpose. I really liked that rather than general activities. I like that they allowed them to be outside and they checked on them and made sure they had water, etc. When I visited, I always noticed resident on the other levels of care seemed happy. I ended up having to move my husband to a different facility due to care needs, but the facility still calls me to check in on him from time to time. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

All I want to say it thank GOD I was able to get my loved one out of this facility. Our experience here was horrific. I would never recommend Commonwealth Senior Living at WIlliamsburg to anybody.

I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The community provides housekeeping for each resident's room every two weeks. They try to keep the outside up to the best of their ability. The rooms are larger and higher ceilings than other communities that I have seen. The community has good protocols to tries and protect the residents from COVID. The dining room is lovely, and the community has a continental breakfast, and then there is a menu the community provides for the residents to order a week in advance for other meals. The community is great at trying to accommodate all the resident's requests. It would be nice to see new choices on the menu once in a while. There is a bus for transportation for different activities in the community. There is a sign up to go to shopping centers, and this is nice for the residents that don't want to drive. They will take the residents to doctor appointments on Tuesday and Thursday.

We went with Commonwealth because I thought it was centrally located and it seemed to be a place where everyone was enjoying themselves. Our apartment is beautiful. It is about 1624 square feet. The washer and dryer are inside of the units which is nice. The staff here is very good and the maintenance people are wonderful. I really like the facility and would recommend them to others.

Everybody is kind and friendly from the staff to the residents. Everyone is willing to help you. There is always something to do here. The meals and activities are good. There is a fitness center, exercise classes, yoga, movie and popcorn, ice cream socials, monthly country celebrations, bingo, and more for the residents to participate in. There is transportation to the local grocery stores. You are able to walk on the property outside. They also have church services on Sunday, and bereavement groups. There are breakfast and dinner meals served in the dining hall each day. The apartment has a full kitchen and washer and dryer in the unit.

Commonwealth Senior Living community has been great so far, the community is very clean and well kept. We are liking everything so far with the staff and their care services. According to our loved one the meals sometimes are not the best. The activities are great, we love everything they have to offer our loved one and the value for the money is wonderful.
