And the pricing is not bad either for all that they include.

Tour experience
I had an awesome tour experience with The Chamberlin. The facility itself is very cool, it is an old historical hotel. It is kind of smaller but it was really nice. If I could have afforded it, I would have moved in here in a heartbeat.

my review of the Chamberlain
My mom likes this community very much. The community is very clean and the staff is nice. If you have any questions they will answer or find someone who will. The residence is also very friendly and it has a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this community to others

The Chamberlin
We felt maintenance didn't properly keep up with things and the floors and pool were often dirty. The management staff was not very good. Most of the staff were unfriendly. They have a very high turnover rate among the staff as a result. There were plenty of activities and those were pretty good. Management does not like to stay on contract and after the first year, they tried to increase our monthly expense pretty significantly. I ended up needing to go to corporate and they ended up letting us out of our lease early. We felt like they were creating a hostile environment for our grandmother. After inquiring about the lease, we felt that management was hostile towards us. It also took 2 to 3 weeks for maintenance to resolve any issues we brought to them. The food was also terrible. We would not recommend The Chamberlin. There are other communities in the area that have better staff and are much cheaper.

Loving It
The Chamberlin is beautiful and I love walking my dog along the sea wall and watching the ships coming and going. The residents and staff are very friendly and helpful. I'm still unpacking so I haven't had time to investigate the activities yet. I rented this place sight unseen and it has been everything I expected and more.

Sara Weatherill had me ready to move in. The apartment and the view were lovely. Ms. Weatherill was knowledgeable of the community, extended an invitation to participate in a community activity. While the community fee was about the average for this and several other locations the monthly rental and asset verification are beyond my scope at this time.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Chamberlin

The Chamberlin offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Chamberlin 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
