Commonwealth Senior Living at Kilmarnock
3.5

We chose Commonwealth because they were the best that we were able to find in the area and they are also a veteran oriented facility. I do think it is a good facility, but unfortunately dad was not here long enough to get acclimated.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Gloucester House
5.0

They are friendly and always willing to help. The staff is always there to help and answer questions. The facility is always clean.

Commonwealth Senior Living at the Eastern Shore in Onancock, VA
4.6

They've been wonderful (despite my mother's inability to come to terms that she is where she needs to be. When it comes to the cleanliness I have no complaints. The staff members are angels. I probably should knock off one half point, but that would be unfair because they are understaffed. And that is more a symptom of the current economy and not the faults of CSL. The meals and dining receive a 3 because the feeling that I get from my mother is that the food is not the greatest.. Really not sure on the activities because my mother won't take advantage of the activities they do have. And that's on her, not CSL. The value for cost is not a 5 because it's quite expensive. I don't have any data for comparison, so I'm not sure about this rating.
