I toured Chesapeake Place in person. It was a good overall experience. The director was not in on that day, but she was assisted by Jerry, who did the actual tour with us. We had a consultation, then he gave us the overall tour of the community. The Chesapeake Place was not as new as the other place I saw, but still it was nice and clean, and overall it was a very nice facility. I was able to view two rooms, one was a studio, and one was a larger room, and they were very nice. The building was laid out in a U-shape, so there is a view from each of the rooms regardless of where it is, and it was a one-level building.
I actually had a chance to see a bible study group, and we actually even met the young lady conducting it, and some of the residents that were in the group with her, and the residents were very friendly.

My visit to Chesapeake Place was all right. It was OK, but my mom didn't like it. The staff was very courteous and very professional. The facility was nice to me. It was neat and clean, and it looked like they were practicing safety, so that was impressive to me.

Chesapeake Place is a wonderful facility. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The staff is professional, compassionate and extremely accommodating. My Aunt Jeanette lived there for several years until her recent passing. I want to thank the Staff of Chesapeake Place for the empathy displayed during my family's loss. They are the best. When my Aunt passed they grieved with us. They consoled us. We were allowed the time to spend with my Aunt during her hospice. So accommodating. As I was packing up my Aunt's personal effects, I saw the arts and crafts projects she completed. When visiting the facility I noticed all the events available on the calendar. If I need assisted living, I will come to Chesapeake Place. Wanda S., thank you for your helpfulness and your spirit. Wonderful meeting you!

My mother-in-law moved into Chesapeake Place. So far, we've been happy, it was in her price range, but it was also clean, it smelled nice, everybody was super friendly, and they had a lot of activities. She seemed to like it there. The staff is very accommodating. If they could have access to the internet, and a couple of stationary computers for the residents could utilize the telehealth, so they won't have to travel in and out.

I like Chesapeake Place the best. It seems more homey and a relaxed type of atmosphere. They showed me a furnished room. It was much larger than in other places and I liked that. It was an efficiency yet there was room for a little love seat or a small table or desk. Caroline, the lady we spoke with there, is very good with what she does.

My wife is in Chesapeake Place. It's clean, the staff is good, and the rooms are good. They have a recreation room, a gymnasium, and they schedule games in the TV room. They have good parking, and they have outdoor seating with nice chairs. They play games and they have singers come in once in a while.

I toured this community. The staff was friendly and attentive to the residents. The lady I had an appointment with was pleasant and helpful. She gave us a lot of information and answered questions we had not even thought of! They gave us lunch (unscheduled)which was wonderful! The studio apartment we are looking at opens to a beautiful courtyard that is going to be perfect for my mother as she loves roses. The Activity Director was helping some ladies bake a cake that smelled amazing. Great experience all they way around!

If I had to choose a place for my mom, I would pick Chesapeake Place. It's a very clean place. They had a recreation place. The food smelled wonderful, although I don’t know how it tastes. If I had to choose a place, I would go there.

I did go to visit a friend at Chesapeake Place, so I looked it over just as a guest there, but not to take a tour. It was clean all the way -- everything I saw was clean -- and the people were friendly to me as I was trying to find my way around there. I have heard that the food is not good; there have been a lot of problems with the food. The rooms were nice, it was a nice size, and the people were putting her pictures on the wall for her, so it was homey. I was in two or three rooms because she wanted me to meet some of her friends, and they all seemed nice. I guess everybody has their own furniture in the rooms, so each one was different. I didn’t have to sign in -- which when I go to visit some other places in my neighborhood I would have to sign in and sign out, but I didn't there. She did sign out when we left for lunch, and then she signed in when she came back. It had no smell at all -- just like you were going to an apartment building anywhere. I heard from her that one of her friends plays the piano on a regular basis in the evening. They are all quite proud of her because she is nearly 100 and still playing the piano and singing. And I suppose they play Bingo and do things like that, but my friend is not interested in that kind of thing, so she doesn't get involved.
I will consider this place for myself, and the reason is because you can handle your own medication. I get my medication free from my insurance, and you can do that, whereas in some places, you have to get your medication through them. I wasn't aware of that, but that makes a big difference because medication can get quite expensive.

My experience at Chesapeake was very good. The staff was very nice, informative, and helpful; I was very impressed with everyone I met there. The rooms were very clean and spacious. It is not as old as the other facility I went to, and the residents all seemed very content, they had a lot of interaction and seemed to be very happy.
