Commonwealth Senior Living at Charlottesville

It just felt right. The little balcony in my apt is perfect for my outdoor plants and it's a nice size apartment. It's good for the most part. My apt is the big thing for me, and making lots of new friends!! A Place for Mom was a huge help -- making appointments for me! I visited 9 places in all which was a most interesting exercise.

The staff members at Commonwealth are super friendly, at times they do see understaffed but the staff they do have there do a great job. The care services are very good, our loved one has actually improved since moving there. The community is always clean and they always have someone there picking up things. The rooms are really nice with tall ceiling, very open and have plenty of storage. Overall the meals look pretty good, the assisted living side seems more like going to a restaurant whereas for the memory care side they bring the meals to the residents. However it is to be expected and they seem good. Based on the activities board it seems like they have good things going on. They take little day trips - recently some of the residents on the memory care side went out to get ice cream. They have little music concerts, a TV lounge, and different memory care activities and games.

They genuinely care, and they've proved it. During the Covid outbreak when my mom was there, I watched the administrators work excessive hours to fill in the holes and to also help out their staff. The facility itself is good, and there is plenty of room for the residents to move around. The activities are great. I've been in the healthcare field for 30 years and was very impressed with this place. My mother passed away there, and what they did for her and my family was above and beyond. I have absolutely no regrets about sending her there.

We chose Commonwealth because of the convenient location, we liked the size of the facility, and it was very clean. Staff were also super friendly and the price was pretty reasonable as well. They have a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment it is great for what they need. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

We chose Commonwealth Senior Living because I thought it was a really good size, we looked at some bigger facilities and this one seemed like a much nicer scale where she could get to know people better. I figured the staff members got to know residents better that way as well. It is a very unusual year and my mom moved in right before covid hit, so it is hard to asses some of the programs but I know that they have them available so we are looking forward to that. I think they did a tremendous job keeping residents safe during covid and they made smart decisions and were great with communication. I would recommend to others looking.

They do have frequent activities for the residents. I would say to my friends, it seems to have been a pretty good match for my loved one and me. It has given me some relief, knowing what it would take for me to provide private care for my loved one. They are caring for my loved one well.

We chose Commonwealth Senior Living because of the location to other family members as well as it was reasonably priced compared to other facilities for what they offered. They have 3 different sections to the facility, memory care, independent living, and assisted living. My aunt was in independent living and she had a good sized apartment. When she moved into assisted living, it was more like a good sized hotel room. My favorite part about the facility is the friendliness of the staff members here.

pets permitted; astonishing low price for one bedroom; very close to a hospital

Poorly lit, smelled of chemicals, horrible décor coloring, no onsite Activities Director. Studio and one bedroom were nice and had a good floor plan.

We moved our parents into Commonwealth Senior Living a few months ago and are so pleased with the friendly staff, their dinning choices and the spacious 2 bedroom 2 bathroom independent living apartment. They have activities every day to choose from if they want or they can do things on their own. They have the security of help close by if they need it. This gives us peace of mind to know they are in a safe place and taken care of while we are not there. They love their independence, the wonderfully prepared meals and the new friends they have made. The staff is super friendly and the maintenance staff responds quickly when anything arises. Thanks to A Place For Mom for helping us find this place ??

Great location and floor plan. Nice facility and friendly staff. Good ratio of staff to residents. Clean. Good size rooms. Memory care was quite active.

Compact and comfortable surroundings - appears able to meet a variety of levels of care.

[Name removed] moved in; today! Thank you!!

My relative is always clean and well dressed. Caregivers are caring and good at what they do. The increase in activities more recently has been a nice happy addition to the day. This is one of the finer memory care facilities my relative has been in. Very healthy meals and snacks!

Similar in nature to the facility in which my Mother now lives. I think she would like a kitchenette which are not in great supply. No washer/dryer in room which might annoy her. They do accommodate pets which is a requirement for us. Reasonably priced from what we hear of the local market. We were favorably impressed.
