I visited this facility

I toured Commonwealth Senior Living at Oak Ridge. I love the size of the rooms, and I love everything about that tour. When you look at it from the outside, it didn't look like much. When we went inside, I fell in love with the place. It was homey. The people were warm, and the residents made us feel very welcome. The staff was wonderful. She was excellent. The dining room is excellent. I loved it. It was spacious and was just nice all in all. They had a beauty shop, do laundry, and trash pickup. They had an exercise room at the end of the hall. They have a room for rehab if you're coming out of the hospital. I love that place.

I was very surprised with Commonwealth Senior Living at Oak Ridge because it's been there a while, but I didn't realize it was under new management. A lot of sections have been totally renovated. The staff was great, and it was a very good place. You got one meal a day, and you could pay for the other meals individually or be billed at the end of the month. It might suit a lot of people because some don't like breakfast. I thought that the price was not quite as good for what you received, but maybe the ability to age in place would be good. They have the usual bingo, and they go out to malls or to restaurants. They were going to a local Mexican restaurant that day with some of the staff. The hallways were a regular size. They're not narrow by any means, but just like a hospital size. There is a full sized washer and dryer on each floor. They take care of linens and towels, but they don't do your personal washing until you move up to more care.

Provider Response

Dear Susan, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with everyone here. We have so many wonderful new programs being offered since joining the Commonwealth Senior Living family. I invite you to join us for lunch and to meet some of our residents. Please let us know when you are free. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Best, Elisabeth McGhee Executive Director

I enjoyed the tour at Commonwealth Senior Living, and I like the facility a lot. They're great people, and it impressed me the way they were taking care of the residents there. The bedroom was one large room with a lot of closet space and a clean bathroom. The first floor has all the common areas. The second floor was for assisted living residents. The third and fourth floors were for residential living. It's for seniors or couples who don't really need assisted living at the time, but wanted to live in an apartment-type complex. They have different activities on different days of the week. They have bingo, puzzles, and exercises.

Provider Response

Dear Terri, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting our community.

This place is not for any human being to live. The lack of safety to others is completely and utterly dangerous. They are under review of safety regulations of others

We take great pride in this work and look for every opportunity to elevate the experience. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to hear your ideas for improvement.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Oak Ridge was very nice, but it was a big tall building and my friend would've been on the third floor, and she wouldn't want that. It was older, but it was in good condition. The staff was nice, and it was an active community. There were people coming and going, and a bus had gone off for shopping. The staff showed me different rooms, layouts and prices, and the price was nice. Oak Ridge was my favorite city to live in. It's a walkable town, and it's near a great hospital. The majority of doctors, Wal-Mart, and a movie theater were all within 5-10 minutes. Everything is quick and easy to get to. They had activity rooms, a party room, popcorn, and a movie room. They were redoing one of the major rooms, and everything's well kept up. The hallways were nice, wide and bright. They had a mailbox station and elevators, and they also had an Alzheimer's unit.

My husband is in Commonwealth Senior Living at Oak Ridge. We chose them because their program is a little more flexible than some of the comparable facilities. The food is average. There's a big effort being made for cleanliness. It's an older building, and they're constantly trying to renovate and stay on top of the upkeep. It has some problems, but they put in a good effort on the building. They have several activities posted.

Provider Response

Dear JE, Thank you for entrusting the care of your husband to us. I am glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed the flexibility of our community. We work hard to improve the lives of seniors and their families. In fact, we are currently working to bring Commonwealth’s award-winning Farm to Table dining to Oak Ridge. We will be excited to get your feedback once this program is in place. Please feel free to reach out to Patti Fitz or myself with questions. Best, Amanda Wickert Regional Vice President

It's a very nice facility. The apartment they showed us was too small, but it was very nice. The staff arranged the meeting for me, met me at the time they expected me, and showed me around. They were very accommodating.

It was a very welcoming place. It looked clean and attractive. It's not the newest in Oak Ridge, but it had a pleasing atmosphere when you go in. The person that assisted me during the tour was very eager to show me the place, very enthusiastic, and very welcoming. She knew what she was doing and she was very interested in the welfare of their residents. I ate there and I enjoyed the food. If you need more, you just have to ask them, which I think is really nice. They have everything that I would want.

We moved my mother in about 2 weeks ago. She’s still adjusting, but I think she likes it. The staff is very nice. She’s in a studio right now. I’d like to see them have a separate bedroom within the assisted living floor to make it seem more like a home. Right now, it kind of seems like a hotel room, but we’re hoping maybe she can move to independent-living later on as she gets stronger. She likes the food. Some of the activities are a little repetitive, but they have quite a few. They have shuttle services. The grounds are very nice and very well kept.

My parents chose this place, and they have been there for a month now. The place is great, and they love it there. The employees are very attentive; they really like it there. They have a large bedroom which they are together, and the other room is there office or computer room. They also like that the food is great. They are also near their doctors who that is nice as well. There's some kind of an outing everyday and multiple activities throughout the day.

We had a very good visit. The executive director hosted us for a tour of the premises. We liked the place. The only thing that would have been negative was that it was multi-story, and you had to get up and down on elevators. They had a puzzle room and various places to do crafts. There was a library and a television center where they did a variety of things. It's definitely a very nice facility. We were treated very well and were very pleased with what we saw.

I've been quite satisfied with this community, and my parents have too because my mother is independent while my father is currently in need of a fairly high level of care, but he is improving steadily. They chose to go there several months ago from California, and after looking at and talking with my siblings, we were visiting several assisted living communities here in East Tennessee. The rooms are quite satisfactory.
