The Chesapeake was very nice. If you have a car, parking seems to be a problem. It is very high end, and it is very costly. You have to pay something to get into it, and then you have a monthly fee. The amenities are very, very nice. It's probably one of the nicer ones around. I really couldn't find anything wrong with it; it's just very, very high end. The apartment sizes are fairly nice. They have a beauty shop inside. Their food was very, very good. They have a bus to take you to places. They have a lot of community activities. It's very, very big. A lot of the apartments are located quite a way from the eating areas and stuff like that, so it does take a lot of walking sometimes. That would be the only downside. The staff were very good. They have 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom units. They have a living room, efficiency kitchen, and nice-sized closets.

The Chesapeake was too large for me. The people were nice. I did not eat any meals there, but they offered. They offered quite a few other things that you could do that the other place did not. They had one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, and they were nice. They had therapy rooms and a few more amenities than the other place had. It was clean, and the staff during the tour was very good. I just didn't like the fact that they didn't have assigned parking in the location.

My father lives at The Chesapeake nursing home, and he is in healthcare there. I don't have good thoughts about them at all. They need improvement in all areas. It goes from independent living, to assisted living to healthcare, and he's been in all areas. In independent living, you pretty much do fine because you take care of yourself. When it gets down into any of the other areas where you have to have assistance, they don't have enough help. They're just not the best, but it's an absolutely beautiful and gorgeous place, and there are many pleasant people there. The independent living is good, but it goes downhill from there.

The Chesapeake is a nice community, but it was not within our price range. It was immaculate and was just like a home. The staff is very friendly and they cater to the residents' needs. The place itself is very modern, they have a state-of-the-art dining area, and it's like a hotel type setting. The rooms can be personalized, and designed the way they like it. When I was there I saw the residents doing different things. Some were watching a movie, others were playing cards, and some of them were in the exercise area. The food looked appealing. It was a good place.

The amenities at The Chesapeake are pretty much the same as with other communities. The only difference is that their meal plan carries over for three months, so that is definitely an advantage. Their floor plan, however, does not have extra storage room. They provide a storage area but it is not very large. They provide your choice of flooring, whether you want rugs or hardwood, and the colors of the wall that you would like. They have more scheduled entertainment activities than other communities. They have the traditional transportation and nurses on-site primarily with the assisted living and the memory care. They have the typical swimming pool, like an exercise pool, but it is quite large. They do not have a theater, but they do have an all-purpose room where they could show movies. The dining area is large, and they're in the process of updating and combining four or five different eating areas, so they have much more of a choice than other communities.
