Fantastic activities and caring staff.

I’m still so impressed by the fact that Commonweslth Senior Living communities routinely bringing even the memory care clients to activities off site in the community - baseball games, ice cream, parks, museums, etc. I also like that most of the care staff have worked there for years and treat the residents like family. Communication between program (admissions, nurse managers, etc. and families could be better though - more frequent and not just related to crises.

Compassionate care

I was the person who arranged the admission, but it was for a family member being transferred there for hospice care. He passed away about a week afterwards. We were very pleased with the care. All the staff members were caring and compassionate.

Could Use Some Tweaking with Memory Care Staff

It appears that a lot of the caregivers don't seem to have customer service towards the residents. It seems like my loved one seems to be getting ignored. It would be nice to have better caregiver communication towards the residents. The memory care team could use some tenured staff members to care for the residents. The administration is very nice and professional. The community overall is clean. This is the best smelling community I have been in. In fact it smells fresh each time I work in.

Clean Community but needs improvement

We picked this community, because it was available and they said they could handle my loved ones level of care. It's a memory care facility, and they did not offer extensive rehab. They should stick to memory care because they don't have a rehab facility. They contract with outside agencies.

Wonderful Place!

My father lived here for 6 months in assisted living. They took such wonderful care of him to the point that he began to thrive again and was able to move into independent senior living in a different facility. The building is beautiful and well-maintained. Paula and Luke, the directors, are professional, very responsive, and truly care about the residents. [Name removed] at the front desk is always friendly and helpful. [Name removed] helps to coordinate fun activities and outings. [Name removed], the Maintenance Director, is quick to respond to any concerns that arise and truly cares about the safety and comfort of the residents. Everyone on staff I've encountered has been helpful, friendly, and caring. This really is a top notch facility!

A positive place and experience

We chose Commonwealth Senior Living because I liked that this facility was smaller and everybody seemed friendly when we came in. She went with a private room and it was perfect for her needs. [name removed], the lady that greets you when you walk in is wonderful and that sets the tone for the whole facility. We had some really great nurses and everyday staff. My moms complaint on the food was that they put pepper on everything, but I talked to the chef and he was great at accommodating her needs. I would recommend them to others looking.

Hardest and best decision I've made.

The first time I visited Churchland House, I knew this was where I wanted my 92 year old grandmother to reside. This facility has so much energy from the time you walk through the door and it starts with the staff. The facility is very clean, bright and welcoming. The staff members are professional and treat each resident and family member with respect and dignity. Leaving my grandmother here was the hardest decision I ever made, but I have peace of mind knowing she's well cared for here.

Perfect choice

Very concerned to find a place Mom would be comfortable and cared for. Churchland House has fulfilled our entire wish list. The staff is so helpful and kind. The food is exceptional with white tablecloth dining. Optional services include laundry, which really helps since she is not close by. They have a doctor who comes by regularly which is a blessing. The rooms are of sufficient size and the bathrooms are great. She is beginning to socialize and make new friends partially do to the activities. Great place for my Mom.
