Commonwealth Senior Living at Georgian Manor — Local services in Chesapeake

I loved this place, the staff and residents that I had the pleasure to speak with. It is an extremely well maintained place. It's clean and smells good! I was very impressed with the activites, the activity director and different selections of activities /trips for residents to do. The rooms and suites for couples were roomy, good closet space, private bathrooms and nice furniture/carpets. I loved the fact that they had an honor wall for veterans, hydration stations throughout the building of large pretty water dispensers with fresh fruit in them. They had a mid size room with vending machines for snacks and sit down tables, as well as a very nice (more formal) dining room with table service and that family members or friends of residents could have a meal with them. They have a beautiful grand piano in their foyer, rest areas throughout the facility, a beautiful center courtyard with tables and a BBQ available. They have a qualified nurse practitioner on site 24/7, 365 days a year as well as a Dr and other medical staff during working their on a regular basis. They invite and encourage family members to come and be involved, and you can show up at anytime, without prior notice. That is a huge plus in my book. I was also impressed that they have fresh produce, on a daily basis, of fruits and veggies from local farm growers. That residents don't have to decide between two pre decided meals, and have the freedom of good healthy food choices.The staff treats their residents in a friendly and respectful mannor. I was also happy to know that they are "pet friendly". They also have a resident SUV/Van vehicle for trips to stores and outings. I had toured several places in the area and IMO, this is the nicest, cleanest, friendliest, best staffed, best activities, best kept, respectful, senior and pet friendly place I've ever seen. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is bcuz I still need to talk more about the insurances accepted and other administrative things. I didn't have all the info I needed at the time I visited, so I'll update once I have the opportunity to see what they're able to help me with on that subject. But, from what I've seen and heard from residents, they are happy and feel safe being there. A huge plus, as far as I'm concerned, it's clean and does not smell like urine, or other disinfectants and the respect I saw between staff and residents. If you are looking for a good, clean, trustworthy place to entrust the care of a loved one, you really need to...

Georgian Manor has been a part of my life for many years now. Both my mom and dad were there until my dad passed away several years ago. My mom wanted to try a different place but in a very short period of time wanted to “go back home!” That was Georgian Manor !! It’s a wonderful place for her and it’s feels so perfect. She loves everything about being where she is. I must write about the new Executive Director Cristy Hansen!!!! A breath of fresh air and she’s such a blessing!!! I live in Charlotte NC so I have not met her in person only through emails but I already feel like I’ve made a friend and feel sooooo good shes there with my mom. We needed to have my mom’s phone closer to the chair she sits on so Cristy went to her room determined she needed a longer phone cord. She left work and went to the store to purchase it herself. Then there was a meet and greet for the residents to meet her and she wound up playing corn hole with my mom. My mom felt so special!!!! This Cristy is a true blessing!!! Sends emails at 8:15 in the evening and when she says she’ll get back with you tomorrow she does!!!! I hope Cristy’s boss reads this. She’s a gem don’t let her go!!!!’ Hats off to Cristy Hansen!!!! And thank you so...
