Commonwealth Senior Living

We toured this community. We did not like how it was 6/8 units per building and so those tenets were who you would eat with/socialize with every day. This is a great place if someone doesn't want to be in a community. If they want to be solitary and not bothered by others. I suggest other families tour this community to see if it is what they are looking for.

My husband was only here for five days before his passing. They sent a large flower arrangement to the funeral and the directer of the community even showed up to the funeral. They are very kind and supportive people. I'm thankful they were so understanding during this difficult time.

We are very please with everything that this community has to offer. The staff is really caring. The community is very clean and we are happy with know that the care is what we were looking for. We would recommend other families to this community for care and the good value.

My Mother had the privilege of calling Elmcroft home for the last five years of her life. We know that by moving Mom to this particular facility, allowed her to live her final years with quality of life that we could not provide, nor would she have had trying to live by herself. Mom received excellent care when needed during her time here. The Director, who has been at Elmcroft for a number of years, is outstanding, and expects (and gets) the same from her staff. She is always accessible to the residents and their families. We loved the stability of the staff - very little turnover. The environment is a loving one for the residents, and you truly feel like you have a second family there. They offered many activities for the residents for all levels of physical abilities. We loved, and so did Mom, the fact that it is a smaller facility, beautifully decorated, very clean, and "tucked away" on a cul-de-sac road so it is quiet. I have recommended this facility to a number of people looking for a new "home" for their parents.

When it came time to move Mom from her home of 62 years to an Assisted Living Facility, we chose Elmcroft of Chesterfield. Mom had bladder cancer issues and macular degeneration. I called Elmcroft and the director, [Removed] invited me to come in that day. [Removed] kind and friendly personality was comforting for us. She assured us that Mom would be cared for in a loving and respectful way. An important issue for us was that Mom would be cared for by females only. [Removed] assured us that was the rule there. She said there were other people living there with the same visual problem as Mom. The Facility was small, compared to others we had visited, which was a plus for someone with visual problems. It was obvious the building was extremely clean. The residents were enjoying the grand piano being played by one of the residents and a fire was burning in the gorgeous fireplace! It felt like home. Mom loved being in that area. Mom loved the entertainment, the piano music before breakfast and all the lovely people taking care of her. When her cancer progressed, she passed away. During the few days that she was bedridden, we were with her round the clock. The staff checked on us during that time, but their focus was on Mom, always making sure she was clean and comfortable. One of Mom's favorite nurses came in one evening and in her native language, prayed over Mom. It was so touching and beautiful. If you are looking for real compassion, safety and care, Visit Elmcroft you will be happy you did, and so will your loved one.

Won't find a finer assisted living facility in the area. We originally moved my Mom into Elmcroft for respite care after a back injury. After a few weeks there we all agreed that as did Mom that this was the place she needed to be with the elder issues she was experiencing. We had looked at several facilities in the area to make sure Elmcroft was the bet for her. Beyond a show of a doubt Elmcroft was the only place for Mom. Within a month of Mom's stay we noticed a significant change in her personality and outlook on life. She was happy again, having recovered from her injury she couldn't be happier with the her life at Elmcroft. The staff was outstanding and always gave the feeling that each resident was the only resident staff had to attend to. The kindness, love and caring everyone at Elmcroft gave Mom was outstanding. I was a bit surprised to read the rather negative review posted here and people should never make disparaging remarks without knowing the facts. You won't find a better place for care and concern for a loved on then you will at Elmcroft in Chesterfield. Mom had five wonderful years living there and our family was extremely grateful for the outstanding care and love Mom received until the very end. [Removed], the director is without a doubt the kindest, most caring and loving individual we ever had the pleasure of knowing and always considered her and the entire staff part of our "family". We are eternally grateful for all the wonderful care our Mom received in her final years and have [Removed] and the staff to thank for that. If you are considering a place for respite or long term care for you loved on Elmcroft should be on the top of your list.

Very nice place. They can accommodate both parents in the same room. The staff were so caring. I Really liked it . And the price for both was reasonable.

This community is excellent, anytime I have been into this community everyone has a smile on their face, the resident always have a smile on their face. They do amazing job and the care they give to the residents there is second to none! I highly recommend this community to anyone that is looking for a forever home for there loved ones.

I'am very pleased with my mother's move to this community. She has settled into this community very well. I know she is safe and being cared for very well. The staff is good, they are great at keeping me up to date on information about my mother. She has even made some new friends with her move. Her room is nice and big. Their rates worked well with our budget. It has been a great experience. I would recommend this community to anybody that is looking for this type of care.

Commonwealth Senior Living of Charlottesville is a wonderful facility in whom I trust the care of my elderly parents. The site director, clinical coordinator, head of maintenance and the caregivers are all hands on in the care and welfare of their residents. They know their residents by name, know their family situations and work hard to help residents and their families transition into their new environment. We are pleased with the safe and caring place where both of my parents now live. A Place for Mom is an amazing group and my advisor listened to our needs and found this wonderful facility for my parents. She guided me through this overwhelming process, suggested what to look for in a facility, suggested questions to ask and was an overall strong support for me during this stressful and trying time. I could not have done it without her.

Our mom is 102 years old and up until Oct. 1, was living independently. However, after unexpected hip-replacement surgery she was facing the daunting reality of needing to move to an assisted living facility. This was just as daunting for my brothers and me, as we had never walked this path before. Without a clue as to how to proceed, I emailed "A Place for Mom" at 11:00 p.m. one evening. By 9:00 a.m. the following morning, which was a Sunday, I received a call from them! [Removed] was so very helpful. Her confidence and expertise calmed my anxiousness in our first phone call. And her willingness to actually listen to my concerns and expectations of an assisted living place helped me begin to believe that we really could "do this". Of all the assisted living facilities in the geographical location we were looking at, [Removed] recommended 2 that she felt would be a good fit for Mom, based on the information she got from our conversations (Please note the plural . . . [Removed] called frequently, just to see how things were going!!). Both places were the exact type of facility we were looking for and she saved us the time-consuming process of elimination of facilities that didn't meet our needs. [Removed] guidance as she prepared me for taking the tours was invaluable. She recommended what type of questions to ask and what to look for at each location. I cannot express the sense of relief as [Removed] help enabled us to walk through this "maze" and be successful in the end. I am happy to say that an apartment was available in our first choice of facilities and our mom is settling in nicely. A Place for Mom offers an invaluable service to families at a stressful time, encouraging, guiding and listening compassionately. I cannot thank [Removed] enough for her help and kindness.

Moving into Commonwealth has been a rewarding experience. I am settling in to a positive housing experience. The staff has been very helpful. Ginger Ragan , [Removed] the Project Supervisor and the rest of the staff have gone out of their way to make mine a smooth transition. Any questions or concerns I have had have been handled in a fast and courteous manner. Yesterday we had a Veteran's breakfast for Veterans Day and my picture was placed on the wall with the other Veterans living here. This made me feel very welcomed into the the Commonwealth family. Well most of my family lives nearby in Williamsburg living here gives me a sense of independence and I can take a nice nap when I want to.

I am very happy with the care the employees show for every resident. This is the second Assisted Living Facility my Father has been to and here they get him out of his room to participate in the activities. He is definitely happier here. The nurses are always very happy and make a point of making us feel welcome. His room is always neat and because they are aware of his problem with falling they check on him more often, He loves the food and the attention he gets!

Very clean with great amenities and support, helpful staff and a feeling of home in the rooms. It's situated on the MetroHealth Campus with doctors, dentists, shops, restaurants, and many other businesses within short distance. Lots of activities on the calendar appealing to a wide variety of personalities.

Love this place. Clean, friendly and a homey atmosphere. I can relax because I know my husband is getting quality care! Thank you Crystal Springs!!

My aunt has lived at Whispering Woods building #8 for a year now. My aunt receives excellent care, and of all the facilities we toured, I am happy we chose Whispering Woods. We are treated like a family here. If you are looking for your loved one, be aware of their needs while choosing a community.

My father has not been in the Commonwealth Assisted Living long enough for me to give a fair review yet. He went there [Removed]. So far he is happy there and we think the ladies that work there are very friendly and helpful. He was moved from another Assisted Living Community and I thought that one was very good at first but ended up being very disappointed. I would like to wait a little longer before I give my opinion.

My mother in law is doing great there The people are very friendly and try and make it like home for everyone , They have helped us help her with everything

I feel that my mom is getting the right care and is safe at this community. They do a good job cleaning the place. The staff are very friendly and I sense that they care about the residents. I like all the people and they know everyone's first name. They have activities to keep them busy, like bible study. Once a month they have a family night with dinner and activities. It is a brightly lit with people walking around. This place is wonderful.

Leaving the country and knowing that my mother was left in good hands gave me a peace of mind. They communicated with me very well there were no bad calls. My mother enjoys the meals that are provided for her. I would definitely recommend this place they have been doing a great job with their services. The activities are above and beyond they are the best!
