Commonwealth Memory Care at Chesapeake

We are so pleased with our experience with Commonwealth. They truly care for my mom. They are very communicative and involve the families. We have lots of family meals. She attends many activities. The staff is always friendly. We have been thoroughly pleased with her placement at Commonwealth.

Staff were very attentive and communicated when needed. They were fast in making decisions when medical attention was needed. The administration was friendly and welcoming

CMC has been nothing but kind and accommodating towards my family. The staff are very patient and well trained to be able to work with behaviors. There has a been a marked improvement on my family member's mental stability under their care. I would recommend CMC to a friend.

The staff there is very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. They resolved our issues as well address our questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend them.

I feel like the techs genuinely care about the residents at Commonwealth. They're taking care of 50 residents in memory care alone. So instead of waiting for them to contact me, I will reach out to them for questions. They're on staff doctors are great @ evaluations. They'll change medications as needed and have a pharmacy they work with to keep things simple. They'll also contact you if medication changes are a lot different than what was previously prescribed. I'd highly recommend Commonwealth. They're very good with my father and conveniently located as well. They're also the most affordable, but provide exceptional care and service.

We would give a 5 for all categories. We are so pleased with the care our mom is receiving at Commonwealth Memory Care. The home is very well kept, the staff is amazing. We couldn't be any happier with her being there. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

My loved one is currently a resident at Commonwealth Memory Care at Chesapeake and I visit her every week. The main problem that I have is other residents going into my loved one's room when she is not there. They take shoes, break things, come into her room at night. There seems to be lack of security for this being a Memory Care unit. Also, be aware that male and female residents are all together and the visitor that woke my loved one was a man. It was not good and my loved one was very alarmed by it. So was I! My loved one says that her food portions are small. She also has had more falls than when she was at my home. Needless to say, she will be checking out of Commonwealth Memory Care at Chesapeake soon.

From [name removed] and [name removed] making the initial experience so smooth to all the staff that made my dad's time there special, it just was a good experience. I live out of state and to have that level of communication and care gave me the peace of mind I didn't have prior.

I would like to recognize Ms.[name removed]for her outstanding performance to duty. During the periods Ms. [name removed] has provided aid her my husband, Mr. [name removed], she has been extremely attentive, caring and very professional. If there are any issues or concerns regarding my husband, Ms. [name removed] does not hesitate to contact me. She is dedicate, compassionate and humble, and I appreciate all that she does. Sincerely, Sandra H. Anderson

I feel [name removed] is doing a wonderful job my mom, that she takes excellent care of her and actually cares for her. My mom interacts with her well and cares for her in her way. It means a great deal to me and is a relief to know my mom is being taken care of.

To all who read: Thanks to all of the staff at Commonwealth Memory Care. Each staff member deserves special recognition, but I would like to offer special thanks to one of the employees who assists my wife [name removed] on a continual basis. I want to acknowledge the continued and much appreciated support that [name removed] (not sure of last name) is providing for my wife [name removed]. She keeps me updated on [name removed] needs and updates me on her recent behavior when I come to visit. Please extend my highest compliments to [name removed] for her hard work. Commonwealth is lucky to have her as an experienced and caring team member and so is our family. Again [name removed] and management term: thanks to you and the rest of your team as well for the continuous support you provide my wife and all the other patients there as well. Russ Watkins

My father was a resident at Commonwealth Memory Care at Chesapeake and our experience was terrible at this facility. I heard staff being rude to my father and to other patients. My dads things went missing all the time. Women's clothes would be in his clothes, his room was dirty, they never swept under his bed and once I went in and his sheets had blood and urine on them. I told the staff how dirty everything was and about his sheets and I had to change them and sweep his floor. They actually gave me the broom and sheets to do it myself. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The staff acts like they hate their job.

I would recommend the community to other for their loved ones. The staff are good at keeping the family updated on my loved one. Some of the activities available include singing, music, chair exercises, field trips, and more for the residents to choose from. They have a family portal called smile, and will update what your loved one has been participating in and they upload photos of your loved one as well. Some of the care the community is able to provide includes: medication management, bathing, and dressing assistance.

The every day staff is really good, my wife has raved about that. As far as medical care, follow up appointments and things like that, it is taking a little bit of a hit there. There are so many people that wait times are a lot longer than we would like. Overall we have been pleased and would recommend Commonwealth to others looking.

It's a good place to place a loved one. I would suggest a single room if at all affordable for you. The rooms are small for 2 people, especially if they use a hospital bed, it takes up most of the space. The single room provides more space. The provide a lot of activities. This is all listed on their monthly calendar. They do a lot art projects that they hang up on the walls. They do have a gardening group weather permitting and bible study as well to name a few.

Our loved one was mostly on a liquid diet but even being on a liquid diet he seemed to enjoy it and we were happy. He wasn't able to most of the time participate in the activities but what we were able to see when we visited looked great and the residents were kept busy a lot of the time. We thought the value for cost was great.

They were the best at this community. They are excellent people and good folks to trust your loved ones with memory care too take care of.
