Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris in Grand Rapids, MI
4.9

Commonwealth is a wonderful community. My mom is adapting well and has experienced all good. She really likes it there. These staff is super supportive. I gave a 4 on food because my mom says every once in awhile she doesn't care for the selection. Commonwealth offers transportation services to meet residents needs. They have a day set up for medical. A day set up for groceries or other shopping services. You just have to call the week before if needed the following week. Also initially I thought it was only 2 meals a day provided. Commonwealth provides all 3. My mom and I highly recommend Commonwealth it is a lot of value for your dollar.
