Commonwealth Senior Living

This was very nice, probably a little better up kept than English Meadows. If it would have just been my choice, I probably would have chosen this one. They tried to keep them involved with other people in the facility and they had tv rooms and they did activities with them a couple of times a week. I don't think they provided more activities than English Meadows it was just newer and seemed nicer and the staff were very helpful, the lady I did the tour with was very nice.

When I went there they were having a diarrhea outbreak or something like that and they had them almost quarantined off. Some people might have been turned off by that, but I wasn't turned away because I know how those things can go. The people were all very nice and it was clean and it looked adequate to me. I probably would have put him there because it was mrer convinient for us. It didn't look as nice, it wasn't as bright or cherry as Clare Bridge but I was okay with dad being here.

They were very good up until my mother's dementia was so bad that they really didn't have the facility, the staff, or the staff level to handle it. For independent living it was good and very reasonably priced. I wouldn't say it has the sophistication of some of the more expensive place but the care my mother got was very good. She was there for 3.5 years and most of the staff that was there when she arrived was there when she left. There is not a lot of turnover and it's a very family oriented kind of place.

The care is more than good. My mother has been better since she's been there. They have a lock down memory care part which my mom needs. They have varying activites. It's pretty much after breakfast until nighttime. They have different games or outside stuff. They go out to different parks or a green house or something and go around town. I'm pretty happy with them. They have a chef that makes all the meals. They are very good meal, according to my mom. They try to get people involved with the activities - they don't let people just sit in the room all day which is a plus.

I had a very nice visit with Luann and Sara. I can see that Elmcroft is a very caring community and may be a good possibility in the future. Luann is such a caring person and I think this reflects throughout. It was nice to see some of the Morningside staff. At Luann's suggestion, I am going to request a care meeting with the staff at Spring Arbor for my mother.

Very helpful. Answered many questions. Talked to Linda.

It is a very nice place. Really clean with no foul odors. I like the fact that it’s smaller than other places with more personalized care. Mom gets the one on one treatment and attention that she needs and the other people look happy as well. The grounds outside are under repair, they are redoing them and making the grounds bigger. The food is fair; mom likes some of the food and others not so much. I wish that they would have a better selection of meals. The people are very pleasant and nice. The only drawback is that they don’t have much of a choice when it comes to activities for people that have pore eyesight.

Terri was an excellent tour guide and was a good salesperson for this property. We discussed my financial limitations and she assured me that my SSI income would be doable at this location. I liked the layout of this property and it was very nicely staged, we visited in the unit so it allowed me more time to actually see what it had to offer. Terri has been at this location for 7years and it was evident that she has a srong connection to the residents. I would probably rate this first out of the three. I would still meed further discussion on not only the base rent but the monthly charges for additional services, parking and storage etc. She said she would keep in touch and I have alrady received a mailing from her.

This place felt very homey. The staff seemed happy and there were a lot of them

Beautiful facility! Only drawback was the small refrigerator and, small living area. Absolutely beautiful facility and had the living area been larger with a full size refrigerator and more kitchen cabinet space, could have been a definite.

very nice place, felt calm and peaceful. ait kind and personable, branch mgr very nice on phone. seemed well-run; however concerned about recent violations. lots of red tape stuff and some care and cleaning issue. mainly, alz patient lost for 2 hours and returned by police, facility had not noticed!!! yikes! everyting is an add-on. but i liked facility.

Have toured this facility and have it under consideration. It would meet our needs and I found the manager very helpful.

Liked the place--will take Mom back for lunch

Tour of facility with the Head of Food Services. Lake front facility with ducks and birds Residents looked and sounded happy Chef discussed facility will consider starting a garden Staff was friendly Facility was very clean w/ no odor.

A great place. When and if my Mom needs more help. I will recommend this one.

good one

She has since selected this place (as have we) because the residents seem happier and livelier

Bright and comfortable. Nice sized rooms. Located near church and back off the highway. Looks like there is plenty of outdoors area. Like this.

a beautiful facility, but too upscale and independent for our needs.

Is very nice. Small rooms and no where to walk.
