We love the way Chesterwood Village is set up, it looks like a little town. We knew our loved one would be happy here, and she loves it. Our loved one really enjoyed the food at first, now it is about average. The rooms are great, they would be a five out of five. However, since our loved one is independent living, they are allowed to go out and go to stores and restaurants, so we are surprised they allow that but do not allow one person to come into the community.

I was recently at Chesterwood Village for 10 days for physical training for my neuropathy issue w/my legs. The facility is first class all the way around. The nurses and entire staff are outstanding. Anything you need they'll get for you. When I got there I could barely walk. After doing physical training w/my therapists twice a day I left walking strong and feeling much more confident in my capabilities. The therapists were amazing and after some preliminary tests during my evaluation, they knew exactly what exercises to focus on to improve my walking and balance. My friends say I look like the old me. One other nice thing is they have smaller gyms all around the facility that you can work out in 24/7 I would highly recommend Chesterwood for Physical Therapy. It sure helped me. [name removed]

While the exterior of the building and the main public areas of the facility are very impressive, I was disappointed by the rooms in the Assisted Living area that I toured. Compared to other facilities that I have recently toured, the rooms were extremely dark, crowded, and outdated. I was also surprised that the only staff that I saw during my tour in this area were two young ladies who were washing laundry. I did not see any nursing staff, even at the nursing station, during the 10 minutes or so that spent in the Assisted Living wing. There was a resident sitting in a wheelchair right next to the nursing station alone and slumped over during that time. I pointed this out to the person giving me the tour, and she seemed unconcerned. During this tour I decided that this was not the place for my mother. My rating: 4 points for the public areas; 2 points for the Assisted Living area.
