8 Best Memory Care Facilities in Allentown, VA

Before I retired seven years ago, I was in healthcare administration in the Kilmarnock community, and Commonwealth has always had a good reputation. I did look into several agencies, and came in to take the tour at Commonwealth and liked what I saw. It was very clean, and there was a home atmosphere about it that I liked very much. Everybody was very friendly. It just looked like a place where my mother could feel comfortable. My mom is a bit of a loner, but she has made friends here. Some of the staff here have really taken her under their wing. I think the interpersonal relationships she’s been able to foster have helped her tremendously. That goes from administration right on down to the aids, everybody seems to try their best. Things aren’t always perfect and they won’t be anywhere, but they do the very best they can to meet her needs. They really try to make her feel like she is the most important. It happens consistently when I see people stop what they’re doing to either take her back to her room or to get her something she is asking for.

They've been wonderful (despite my mother's inability to come to terms that she is where she needs to be. When it comes to the cleanliness I have no complaints. The staff members are angels. I probably should knock off one half point, but that would be unfair because they are understaffed. And that is more a symptom of the current economy and not the faults of CSL. The meals and dining receive a 3 because the feeling that I get from my mother is that the food is not the greatest.. Really not sure on the activities because my mother won't take advantage of the activities they do have. And that's on her, not CSL. The value for cost is not a 5 because it's quite expensive. I don't have any data for comparison, so I'm not sure about this rating.

Antria Salisbury is a ten out of ten stars, this community is exceptionally clean, we were very impressed. The staff is wonderful, they would also be a ten out of ten stars. The community is a little more on the expensive side but the care services are great. The activities are wonderful they have everything from painting, to music, bowling and trivia time. They even go shopping and out to eat at different restaurants.
