Commonwealth Memory Care at Chesapeake

In the beginning, we had a small problem with medications. My father would have to ask to get his pain medication and he wouldn't always remember to do so. Once I brought up the problem, though, they were quick to fix it. The staff is very nice and helpful, the lady in the cafeteria is amazing. My father doesn't like powder creamer, and that's all they have there so I bought him the individual liquid ones, and she makes sure he has his 2 creamers with his morning coffee every day.

This community is primarily for adults with dementia. The physical facility is older but well maintained. The rooms are smaller than many of the more recently built locations and residents share a half bath with the adjoining room. The dining area looked really nice and well maintained and the common living area on the side visited was homey with comfortable chairs, books and TV.

So far it has been an okay experience for my aunt here at this community. She is doing well here, and I know she is safe and in good hands. They have a good staff, they have been helpful and friendly. I'am comfortable with care they are providing her with. This is a community I would recommend, it is a nice place.

The staff at this community have been wonderful at helping mom with her memory loss. They make sure she is always bathed and help her get ready for the day. They have made the best of her situation and made her feel very comfortable. I have no complaints and would recommend this place to anyone need of a senior living.

I am definitely happy with all this community has done for my mom. I would recommend their services. The staff are very attentive and keep in touch daily to give feedback about my mom. They are very caring about all the residents. I was impressed with the woman who sat down with my mom and made it a point to understand her characteristic and history, afterwards let her know who will be compatible as friends. That made the transition easier.

My loved one has been there for two months. We toured several of the facilities and my family choose this facility because it felt good the moment we walked in. We got that feeling from the first time toured. The staff are all very helpful. The food is good. It is very clean and always smells nice. It has been a very hard adjustment for my family, the administrator and the director of nursing have taken the time out to sit and walk us through the process and that means a lot to all of us. They are so kind.

They are really good at some things at Allzwell Assisted Living. But some things are lacking. When I brought her in the first two weeks I feel like she needed a sign saying, "I am new, these are the services I get." I had to remind the staff several times to check on her with regards to her incontinence. The correction was made very quickly though and I am really glad for that. They just need more guidelines for new patients. The facility is very clean and friendly overall and the are very attentive in the dining area.

Mother didn't like having Jack & Jill bathroom

The staff goes out of their way to help you through a very difficult time. Their compassion and understanding makes the process so much easier. They never hesitate to stop what they are doing to answer questions or address your concerns.

Liked the atmosphere of the facility. Loved the feel of the courtyard so very serene

Dont like where it is, too far from my home, not sure Mom would like it there, very safety minded, good staff/client ratio, activities for residents

Semi-Private room $2910 per day; Laundry Fee $60 Did not quote the Daily Living Fee.

Before I put my uncle in ALLZWELL, I toured other facilities including this one. I visited/popped up at this facility twice. Each time I talked to the administrative staff and toured it the facility at different time so I wouldn't feel the staff was staged due to my visit. My uncle is now there and I found the facility well staffed with the proper aides and nurses according to the number of clients. The staff are very responsive to the clients needs and correct any irregularity that I address, friendly, professional and respectful. I love the patience the floor staff has and how they knows the personality of each client. My uncle is always dressed, shaven and clean. The facility is clean, food diet seems to be acceptable. the facility is only 10 minutes from my home. You can take what l wrote to the bank. Why?? because I will pop up anytime to make sure my uncle is being taken care of properly. I couldn't select a better facility.

I have toured a lot of other facilities in the area and this one is great for the price, there were no add ons. It was very clean and staff seemed to be very caring and friendly. There seemed to be many different levels of residents- which for me that means when my mom needs more care I will not have to move.

it was really nice and clean and the staff was really helpful. Thank you'll very much.

Grandma seems to love the food. All the residents seem to really like the food. They have some really cute activities, little girls that come in and sing and a guy who plays the guitar. They play word games as well as bingo. They also have a really excellent courtyard.

Allzwell is a very nice place And I am very comfortable with the care my mom is receiving. Linda and Paula are wonderful!

We had to move him out of there because he wasn't getting the care he needed. In the beginning, it was very good, and the cost for what you got was pretty good but it seemed like as we went on, the caregivers that we had that were taking care of him weren't doing as well as before. There was a CNA that was good with him but there were others that would get an attitude. They just kind of started aggrivating him, like when I asked them questions on what he needed and what was happening. He was at the end of the hallway and especially the night nurses didn't seem to check on him. They wouldn't know I was there at night sometimes and never went to check on him. If you could take the beginning and the end together it would be a 4, but towards the end it was a 3.

They are wonderful. He's happy and he's gaining weight. I know he does activities. I'm not sure what they are but I assume since he's happy and he does them that they must be good. The things I like about them are the kindness and the respect that they staff gives them. They give him so much kindness, respect, and humor so he's comfortable there. He's kind of a recluse so that makes me feel really good.

We chose this community for my father because it was recommended by a friend and they have received the Best Assisted Living Award in the Chesapeake area two years running. The only downside is that the staff does not take time out, but family and friends can take them out when they come and visit. The community is very small and gives it a more home like feeling. He was in a rehab before we moved him here and we are much happier now. The price of this community is very good for what they offer. We are very happy with the choice that we made and would recommend this community.
