Washington Commons

My father has been living at Washington Commons since January of this year. The first month or two were difficult for us as he got used to the new surroundings and they got used to him. However, he absolutely loves it there now and is genuinely happy. When I pick him up for events or dinners at my house, he is always ready to go home to Washington Commons which is a huge comfort to me. He has a one bedroom apartment on the third floor which is the perfect size for him. The bathroom is a good size with a shower that is easy to get in and out of without difficulty. There are two large hallway closets just outside of the bathroom. The living area is a great size with an open concept for the small dining area and kitchen area. None of the rooms have stoves/ovens but all have a full size fridge, small sink, and counter area. There is room for a table and chairs as well as a full living room set. The bedroom is huge and has room for a full bedroom set and desk plus extras. Housekeeping is provided on a weekly basis and they do a very good job of keeping the apartment and the building very clean. They are also part of the friendly ambiance of the community. Cable and all utilities are included with the rent. Additionally, there are three meals in the dining room prepared by an onsite chef. I think the food is delicious and have often eaten a meal with my father when visiting him. My understanding from the other residents is that they would like a little more variety but I believe that would be a challenge even in the best of circumstances. There are daily activities and outings on a daily basis which helps to keep the residents busy and involved. My father does complain that there is not enough to do but I honestly think is because he has so much free time on his hands now with little to fill it. When living at my house, he literally had nothing to do all day. Now he does and is one of the reasons why I believe he loves it at Washington Commons. The staff including everyone from housekeeping to management are what make the place an excellent and welcoming place to live. All have different personalities and interact differently with the residents but all are positive, welcoming, helpful, and professional. Matt, David and Dawn from management each have gone above and beyond in multiple different ways to make sure that the residents are comfortable and happy.

Washington Commons would be a good place for my mom but not for my dad. The 2-bedroom unit was very nice and really big. The whole place was large. The person who contacted me and assisted me was super nice. There was a large and nice dining room, and they serve an appetizer, the main entree, and then the dessert. The place looked clean, and it would be a good place for a more independent living person.

Washington Commons was very nice, and we liked it. It's independent living but too expensive for us at this time. The staff was very nice. We didn't have a bad experience. The grounds and location were very nice. The only downfall is if the senior is a driver, there isn't a red light when you exit the location, and it's on an extremely busy road, especially for making a left turn. We saw different-sized one- and two-bedrooms that were all very nice. My aunt was very happy there.

I liked Washington Commons a lot. I was shown a small room where you could put a twin bed, a reclining chair, and a chest, and it had a balcony with a view of the garden. I also saw a one-bedroom apartment with a nice-sized bedroom, living area, and little kitchen. Every day, there were a lot of activities to do, and they had a bus that would take you shopping. The place was very active.

The person that we talked to at Washington Commons was extremely nice. It was a place that I would like to go. There was only 1 apartment with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen. The other rooms had a kitchenette with a sink and a microwave oven; that’s it. We are not allowed to use a stove, and that turned us off. But the place was very nice and very pleasant. We had lunch there, and the food was very good. I think they should have more apartments where the residents could cook.

My father is at Washington Commons. The lady that I was working with was excellent. I am pretty pleased. The price is low and definitely available. It’s clean. The washer and dryer are free of charge, and they have everything that you could think of. It’s an excellent place for retirees. They have something every day.

It was very good, but my mother needs a little more care than what they can provide at Washington Commons. The staff was nice, very knowledgeable, and very professional. I had a very good tour of the place, but unfortunately it was just nothing that my mother would fit into. The dining area was very nice.

Washington Commons was a beautiful place but large. They had all kinds of activities every day, like bingo and outside activities. They served all three meals, had laundry services, and had somebody that did hair. They had somebody that came in to help them with their medical needs and transportation to places that you might need to go.
