Commonwealth Senior Living at the Eastern Shore

Pat87

My husband is a resident of Commonwealth Senior Living at the Eastern Shore. I love it. Everybody is there to help. I haven't met anybody that is negative. I mean, when I walk in there, and I go in quite often, they all know me. They're all telling me how he is and what he's been doing and everything. He has no complaints whatsoever. It's just expensive for me. The food is very good. They do have some activities going on almost every other hour. That's not too much. I mean, like, balloon bouncing. They have a cook that comes out and she makes different things and they taste to see which they like the best. They have religious activities and sing-alongs.

I took a tour of Commonwealth Senior Living at the Eastern Shore, and it was attractive. When they first opened, they held an open house for the local clergy in the area, and I am an ordained minister, so I was invited to breakfast and a tour, it seemed quite attractive. I have a couple of friends that are residents there and I have visited them. It was clean, the breakfast they served us was a gourmet breakfast. We talked to a couple on our tour, who is living there in an independent apartment, and they raved about it. The friends that I have visited there are pleased with the service. The most convincing fact was during the pandemic, they were Covid free through the worst part. They did have a case. after the worst part of the pandemic was over, but it was contained. All through the winter, and last summer when the pandemic was strong, they were Covid free. Another clergywoman here is a former nurse and then became ordained. She brought her mother, and she was living in a senior facility in Pennsylvania. She brought her mother down to Commonwealth Senior Living because she felt it met the criteria that she regards most important as a nurse, so that was a really strong witness to me, the quality of care that's there. They may have put their best foot forward for us to impress us, and maybe that's not the breakfast that everybody gets every day, but what we got was incredible.

Commonwealth Senior Living was very clean and very high quality. The staff was very professional. It was very pleasant, and there was lots of sun. I saw the dining room, and it was very pretty too.

Commonwealth Senior Living at the Eastern Shore was very nice and very impressive. It was a great environment, and the facility seemed very nice. What they had to offer for senior citizens was exceptional. The staff was very accommodating, very informative, and very polite. They have a lot of group spaces where people could meet, some with TVs and some with casual seating. They have outdoor spaces, a library, a nice auditorium, and a physical-therapy-type facility where exercises or therapeutic work could occur. The dining room looked very nice, and the rooms were spacious.

I just stopped to visit once because my parents only got to move in. The place was very nice, they have a very nice apartment, and they seem to be very happy. So that was one of the most important things -- that they are happy. Because when you are used to living in a house and you move into an apartment, it is a little different. The apartment is pretty big actually, and I was really surprised it was as big as it was. They have plenty of room, but it is just the whole design of it. It is quite roomy so they have plenty of room for the two of them. It is like a living room area, a bedroom, bathroom, and little kitchen area, so it is nice. I only had breakfast there, but they have been very happy with the food. They feed them breakfast, lunch, and supper, so they have all three meals. They have exercise and classes, they do therapy for them, and they have a room where they can go in and just gather. They have games that they play, and they play Bingo. They have a lot of different things for them to do.

The facilities were very nice and always tastefully decorated, from the colors to the art on the walls. The residents almost always seemed content and happy with the staff and the services provided. The staff always seemed friendly and willing to help any time someone needed something. The layout of the Hermitage was unique, from my experience. There were three levels of care provided at the facility. The first was an independent area, where the residents needed little to no daily care. The next level was assisted living, where the residents needed more hands on care and daily stimulation. The third and final area was the nursing home area, where the residents needed round the clock care and observation. All in all, the Hermitage seemed like a great place to live, work, and visit. I thoroughly enjoyed my visits there and will continue to visit on a normal, weekly basis.
