Very good staff for the most part. It is a good environment with a lot of bright people. The community is quite clean and have housekeepers on each floor. The staff is very friendly and knew my name immediately. The activities are good and they offer good off-community trips and normal on-site games and such. The value is probably on par with others here at Cadbury Commons. The community is very well run.
The staff is extraordinary at every level. They made a difficult transition as kind and gentle as it could be for my father. Communication with the family is excellent. The meals are good quality, just not as good as home. The place is spotlessly clean. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chestnut Park to family and friends.
They have been friendly. The staff has been able to assist with people that are able to take my loved one to the doctor and other items. They have a coffee shop next door and close to other shopping centers. They even have a parking garage under the community. The community takes the residents to different activities in the community and have musical concerts by students come in to see the residents. They have several different options to choose from for cost for your family.
