Like all facilities there is always a shortage of staff, especially nights. Administration staff is great! Kind caring and accommodating to needs. Whenever we have a concern, those concerns are met as soon as possible. One problem I've seen is the roomand especially bath room was not well cleaned. I gave gone several times and cleaned the room and bathroom myself. Again, shortage of staff i am sure. Mother is confined to wheelchair , therefore it is difficult for her to keep room neat, tidy and clean, due to lack of mobility. All and all, we are satisfied.

They always kept the reception area spotless and the nursing home part, but the locked part where my husband was disgusting. I guess if you have dementia you don't need to live in a clean area. It was awful. He was not taken care of at all. He always had wet/dirty clothes and feet. Lost a ton of weight.

My Uncle really likes it. He has a new POA and she and her husband are I believe doing a good job. Tena works there so makes it very convenient when my uncle needs anything she can tell her husband and they are on it. [name removed] was a very big help with all of the questions we had so when her and her husband took over the money it made it very helpful. I have had a stroke and not able to take care of that

I am in Independent Living and I have found it very hard to mild into the community here. I would not mind being helpful in areas, but there is not Community invites or get togethers over Coffee tea or Cake or even a little Bring a Dish to the Gazebo on a Sunday afternoon or evening. Everyone seems to be Independent and lonely. I feel for all of them, but worry about becoming too attached. By the way, that lawn bench on the corner was a GREAT IDEA and it gave comfort to the ones that enjoyed sitting on it. It was old and rickety and would like to see a newer model that is sturdy and safe there!

The staff is fantastic. They are friendly and helpful. The facility is always very clean. The rooms are a great size. The Program Coordinator and activities team are incredible. There is always something to do and opportunities to gather with other residents. As far as the food goes, I think sometimes they overcook the meats.

February 21, 2024Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words. We're so glad to hear you had a great experience with our community. Improving the lives of seniors, their families, and our associates is central to everything we do, so we truly value your feedback.
They weren't equipped for our needs. Seems like the sales team and ops team differ on what the facility can provide. I'd recommend the facility if the clients needs were small.

We chose Commonwealth at Radford because I liked that the facility is all on one level. They also had more information up front in the beginning and we really appreciated that. When I went in to sign the papers they had different staff lined up to talk to me about things, they were amazing. The activities director does a great job especially and they take the residents on field trips. They also have entertainment that comes in as well. We are on the smile app and the staff can upload pictures and also it shows what activities that he has and has not done. They are able to update us on any important information about the facility too. I have highly recommended them to others in my community already. Our whole family has been very pleased with our experience so far.

June 7, 2022“Dear Regina, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are honored that you’ve chosen our team to care for your loved one. Improving the lives of our residents and families is our focus every day, and it makes me to happy to hear that this is felt by families. Kind regards, Kristin Short Executive Director
We chose Commonwealth Senior Living because I was looking for a facility that was close by, the value for the money here was the best that we were able to find, and I had a number of people I knew who had either stayed there or were there currently and I was able to get feedback form them. I thought that the staff that I interviewed with did a really nice job and were very proactive in trying to help me. She had a private room and it was fine for what she needed. I would recommend to others who are looking.

Nice physical plant that is apparently well taken care of. The lounge and dinning are large and cozy! [name removed] took me on a brief tour. The private rooms are spacious and handicapped friendly as they have a creative Activity Director. On the down side, they have an up front fee of $2500 they claim is used to refits the room before occupancy. Cost is moderate. No in-house physician is a bummer! But overall, this is a possible!

Was very impressed with tour and facility. Nice rooms, amenities and staff seemed very capable and competent. Tina did a great job of showing the property and the amenities. Facility is very high on consideration list based on this virtual tour.

Appealing outdoor areas, and a bright and well-lit interior. When we entered, we saw an activity underway in a dining area, and when we toured the Memory Care unit we again saw an activity underway. The activity schedule looked good, as did the menu. Staff seemed very professional. Facility was very clean, with no odors. Generous-sized rooms. Definite possibility.

My loved one is doing very well here! The staff are very caring and attentive, and they do a very good job at taking care of my loved one's needs and requests. The size of the facility is also just right for my loved one. The whole family was very impressed with this facility!

My mother-in-law moved here. As far as we can tell they are very attentive to her needs. They invite her to do crafts which is something she was good at when she was younger. Her hearing has declined in recent years so it's difficult for her to do things so she stays in her room for the most part. Anything we've asked of them they have accommodated us.We have seen the food, she says she doesn't like it but it looks pretty good. So far we would recommend them.

They offer daily activities and the staff are nice. Mom does complain about the food as it is not as good as her home cooking. The community is clean and well maintained. I would recommend this community if you have the money for it. I would also recommend checking out numerous communities before making a decision.
