I would recommend the community

I would give the facility 5 stars. The staff is wonderful and very attentive to my mother. As she has adjusted to the situation, she has become involved with activities, which is really good for her. She has said the food is good and I have seen the menu, it looks good. The facility has looked clean every time I visit. My mother's room has been clean as well. I think that her room is a good size for her. She has a small studio size room and it is for a single person . I'm sorry but I don't know the actual dimensions. Please let me know if you need anything else.

We needed memory care for Dad, and this was the only AL that we visited that was cheerful and inviting. The facility is newer, bright, high ceilings, and very customizable for Dad’s apartment. The staff are engaging and friendly. We have no complaints.

I would recommend Commonwealth to others.

The staff always friendly activities Director always trying to get mom engaged, her apartment is always spotless. Director of care, as well as Med techs have called me after hours on the weekends, letting me know details on how mom's doing if she had a fall how she recovering if she needs further assistance, etc. I'm very pleased with the facility and their people. Most importantly their people.

Review for Commonwealth Senior Living at Salisbury

The initial application/move in process was pretty easy. The apartment is set up well for convenience and safety. My father-in-law enjoys the activities. The staff is pleasant. I've heard no complaints over the last year from him.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Grand Rapids

Our experience with the staff during the move to assisted living was very positive. From the beginning, everyone was welcoming, kind, and helpful. The staff made what could have been a stressful and emotional transition feel much easier. They were patient, understanding, and willing to answer our questions. We especially appreciated how attentive they were to our needs and how they took the time to make sure everything was in place and comfortable. The staff’s compassion and professionalism made a big difference during this important transition. We truly appreciate all of their help and the way they made us feel welcomed and supported. It was a very good experience, and we are grateful to have such caring people involved in the move. Yes, we would recommend the community to other families.

Your loved ones, will be loved at Commonwealth

Everything was amazing. [name removed] didn't participate in activities, but anytime I walked by and seen them going on, they looked fun and everyone seemed to be enjoying them. Staff was very friendly and pleasant with me as well as [name removed]. I ate there a few. Times and food was good. Wait staff and chef seemed to really aim to please residents. Apartment size was sufficient.

Our family's experience

The staff took good care of my wife. The rooms are a decent size. I had brought a double bed, small chest, and nightstand for her and they fit easily. I also brought a chair for visitors with a footstool. One thing that bothered me a little was that on the day my wife passed, they called hospice first when she had difficulty breathing but didn't call me. I was already on my way and when I got there they told me they had just called hospice, so maybe they were about to call me.

Great choice

Care: 5 out of 5. They do take good care of him Food: 4, but I'm picky. We had Thanksgiving dinner with him and the stuffing was Stovetop. So that's why the 4 and I get that that's unreasonable. You're not gonna get my home cooking in a group.setting. ?? Activities: Really can't say. Dad doesn't want to participate in anything and they encourage, but of course they can't force, so I just don't know. Communication: we've had a couple of fumbles early on, but they worked to correct them, so I'll give that a 5 Cleanliness: Again, I'm making allowances because Dad doesn't cooperate. He's always been clean when I go. The room has an odor but he refuses to open his door or windows and if you can't air the place... Not much can be done. Overall cleanliness:4.5 The laundry service could use improvement. They're supposed to be doing his laundry and they do, but the sheets don't get changed. Once the bottom sheet "disappeared" and he was sleeping on the mattress cover, but I found the sheet right on his closet shelf, soooo ya. I'll give laundry, specifically, a 3. Room size 5. Much nicer rooms than any of the other places we looked at. Staff are all great, friendly, caring. Overall I'm really, really glad he's there. I could live a happy life there myself (if they'd let me do some cooking in my room now and then ??)

1. Overall experience - 5 2. Cleanliness - facilities, 5, often a struggle with urine/feces smell through residential hallway 3. Friendliness - 5 - amazing staff 4. Quality of care - 4, we didn't need a lot of care for mon 5. Admin staff - 5 6. Food - 4.5 - the menu always "sounds " great, but it's still mass cooked meals for an older crowd, maybe I'm not the best judge, my mom is liking it 7. Activities - 5, appreciate the visiting musicians greatly 8. Value - tough question, this is an exceptionally overpriced industry - i don't know how to address value... maybe rank at 4 only because I know there were more options for a lot more money

Very caring staff

I found that the staff were very caring, very sincere and honest and their care for [Name Removed]. [Name Removed] went in on [Date Removed]. She died on [Date Removed] and their concerns and their assessments and their ability to make her last days as comfortable as possible were excellent. Highly recommend it. I would also like to add that [Name Removed] was under hospice care during her tenure. The staff were very supportive. Followed instructions of hospice and made [Name removed] last days to be as comfortable as possible.

Our family's experience

All of the above is great at Commonwealth senior living. I have no experience with the memory care level there so I can't comment. I'd give the independent and assisted living levels a five. A really friendly staff, good general care, lots of activities and transportation services provided, adequate apartment sizes. Good cleanliness, really nice dining room rooms, sparkly clean though I've heard the food is a little bland.
