Commonwealth Senior Living at Georgian Manor

The reason why we chose Commonwealth Senior Living was because the community itself is very light, bright and clean. The staff members have been great. A few times when we have been there during the meals it seems to be pretty good. On the memory care side the activities are somewhat limited but based on our overall experience with Commonwealth we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

Commonwealth Senior Living, like everyone else, is somewhat understaffed. There's a labor shortage, so I understand that they can't help that. I like that the staff have been together for a long time, so they know each other well. It feels like there may not be that much turnover. I like that they are experienced and have worked with each other for awhile. I also like that it's a small community, so people don't get lost in the shuffle as they might in the larger multi-floor communities. As far as activities; they take the residents out to meals, birthday parties, bingo, and they'll have them go outside to play with soil and garden. Even though my loved one doesn't participate much, they talked her into going outside to eat her lunch. That was nice because she really enjoyed that. Communication between the community and our family has been good; especially good during this difficult time, as my mother-in-law is in hospice. That created the need for me to communicate with them more, as it's very important right now. Overall I would recommend Commonwealth to others.

The staff have been very friendly. And they communicate well with us. The apartment is great. Mom was fortunate enough to get one of the larger ones, so it's a nice size, with a large bathroom and two closets. She has enjoyed socializing and playing cards and games with the other residents.

This community was dated in appearance and not the type of environment my loved one was looking for. The tour was basic and I was able to get all of the information that I needed.

We loved our experience with Commonwealth, they were so kind to our loved one and very good to her. We would highly recommend this community to other families.

After determining that my mother could no longer be able to live on her own, we started looking for assisted care facilities in Chesapeake Virginia. We were looking for a place that we could transition into additional services when needed and one that my mother would feel at home when in her own room. Upon visiting Georgian Manor, we were impressed with the friendliness and cleanliness as well as the longevity of the staff that would be looking after my mother. We also were able to decorate my mom’s room to make it feel like home as much as possible. Three months later, my mother has made numerous friends, thoroughly loves the staff, and loves the food. In addition to social activities, she enjoys sitting outside in their courtyard and eating meals with her new friends.

They were great. The staff were very caring and helpful, from the clinical staff to the administration. The care my loved one received was great. She had a relatively short stay here, and move-in and move-out all went smoothly.

We toured Commonwealth Senior Living and we did not choose this facility because it had too much of a nursing home feel to it.

There are some staff that are wonderful and some that are horrible. This community is one of the better in the area. The options for rooms are good, the prices for options vary. I really like the food at this community.

We are quite pleased with Commonwealth. Our only concern is that they are only allowed to use one particular pharmacy, which my mother's doctor that has identified as being much more expensive than other pharmacies in the area. If we were allowed to use a different pharmacy, we could save a lot of money. Other than that, they have done a phenomenal job taking care of the residents. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they have done a good job protecting the residents and keeping them safe. They let me talk to my mother through the window so my she can see me and continue to have interaction. It has been really difficult for my mother to be quarantined, however we are thankful she is in a safe place. We love Commonwealth at Georgian Manor and highly recommend it. We searched around for several places and it took several years for my mother to decide to move, and visited the community three times. When she moved in, she even knew some of the other residents! We don't have to worry about her safety and we trust the staff is doing everything they need to do to keep her healthy and safe. They truly care about the residents.

My mom was a resident in Sweet Memories from [dates removed] Mom had a fairly rare disease process that wasn't always predictable. Everyone took amazing care of her and kept us in the loop when there were changes in her health. Staff encouraged her to participate in activities and engaged with the other residents. We couldn't have asked for a better location for mom's final months!

My mom has been a resident for almost 16 years. We have been very pleased with her care. The facility is clean and well cared for. There are always things for the resident and family to get involved with. My mom’s favorite part is the food!

My mother was a resident for nearly 5 years a CSL Georgian Manor. During her 10 year journey through Alzheimers, the staff at Georgian Manor were very commited to making her as comfortable as possible. They provided services, support groups referrals and an emotional connection that was so vital. Any concerns were addressed at the lowest level, but the manager and directors always were responsive to our needs. During her time there, there were several staff changes, but the consistency of care was alway there. Her room was spacious, and the food was good. The effort to get Mom to eat was helpful. Early in her residency there many activities, outings, entertainment and excursions she could participate in and I treasure the pictures posted by Georgian Manor of these events. The most important referrals we recieved from Georgian Manor were so imprtant in her latter stages. As we all know Memory Care can be quite expensive, but we were referred to contacts to get the Veteran's Aid and Attendance Pension and finally we were referred to Westminster-Canterbury Hospice at Home services. Both of these services helped our family with additional care and finances. I highly recommend Georgian Manor for those people who will ever need their valuable assistance.

CSL Georgian Manor has been a very positive experience for our mother and for us. The staff is loving and available. Mom has received very good care and attention in the 3 years she has lived here. There are many activities including family events to keep residents and their loved ones connected. The building is always spotless and inviting. If you are in need of living assistance for yourself or a loved one, we recommend you check into what Georgian Manor has to offer.

We reviewed four separate facilities prior to our decision to place Mom at Georgian Manor. It had excellent staff ratios and is a very clean facility. The staff is very respectful of the patients and sees to their needs each and every day. The cost is very reasonable, and they call to update us with any new developments. During a recent weather event, the facility was evacuated to Richmond, Virginia to avoid any possible trauma to the patients or loss of power. Mom has been at the facility for 7 months now and she is being well-cared for, as well as happy. I would recommend this facility to any who have similar needs.

The community was an excellent fit and we were very happy with the services they provided.

My mother resided at this facilities for over 4 years, the service at the begining was marginal; and with a change in management - there was significent improvement. We were pleased. The last 18 months, staff has changed, service has decreased, and cleanliness has deteriorated. Mom fell twice within a 2 week periord, the first time we were in the ER for over 9 hours she ended up with two black eyes, and a huge knot on her head. The second fall mom ended up with fracture of her hip. Both instances no one was watching her, thus no eyes on target.

This place was fun. When we arrived for the tour it was a very nice day. When we entered the front door you could smell fresh flowers which they had in vases in several locations. A door was open to the courtyard area and you could hear laughter and happy voices. The person who greeted us welcomed us with a smile. She gave us a tour and was very pleasant and knowledgable of the facility. The whole experience was pleasant considering why we were looking for someplace. Thank you Georgian Manor for making our search a little more easy because of your kindness and compassion!

I went to go see this community and really was not that impressed with it. The rooms were to small. The staff seemed to be helpful and answered all questions. The community was clean. It just was not a good place for my parents.

Rooms are small and inconsistent for the price. Small activity rooms. Good programming ideas - like the focus on different countries.
