Commonwealth Senior Living at the Eastern Shore

Rhonda Marsh

Life can change for any of us in a split second and my family just experienced it personally. My uncle was a fairly active 88 year old gentleman but last Thursday he took a turn none of us saw coming. It has been the hardest three days of our lives! But on Saturday I reached out in desperation to a Director at our Eastern Shore Commonwealth Senior Living Facility and found the comfort of a true angel! It was the weekend and she was off trying to enjoy time out of town with friends but stopped what she was doing to help answer all of my questions and make rapid preparations for caring for my uncle. That very next day the Executive Director came out to the hospital herself to do the Admissions Evaluation to ensure we could get him established in their facility first thing Monday morning. Upon arrival we were greeted with loving, caring, open arms. Every step to admit him was taken care of rapidly and lovingly to make this transition painless for everyone of us. After being here for 5 days I can honestly tell you there is not one single person here that doesn't LOVE their job and their residents! The nurses, caregivers, maintenance workers, dining facility workers, directors, administration, on and on have worked tirelessly to ensure our every need or desire is met with pleasure. Every single person can't do enough for us. Whether it is for the comfort of my aunt, myself or my uncle they go above and beyond to provide whatever we could possible want. His safety and care is at the top of their list. The Director of Nursing brought us personal items from her office to make us comfortable. And sat and talked with my uncle until very late that first evening, with no regard to the fact that she had missed dinner with her family or that it was almost bedtime for most of us. She has spent countless hours working to think of ways to help ease this major transition in our lives and make my uncle the most comfortable possible. She and the Executive Director have not missed a day checking on us personally, sometimes multiple times a day, fulfilling any of our needs with a smile! The facility is lovely, spotlessly clean. The residents are delightful, welcoming and happy. They offer a multitude of activities to appeal to everyone. If you are nearing this point in the life of someone you love, reach out to Kimberley Wilkerson, Rae Crumb or Kristy Annis. I assure you they will answer all of your questions and make everything possible for your family.

I recently moved my mother to Commonwealth on the Eastern Shore. I had been hearing good things about this facility for many years; when I realized that my mom would no longer be safe at home, I called to see if I could visit. The staff welcomed me immediately and then welcomed my mother. They always take time to listen and help with any concern I have. The process of preparing for my mother's move was very stressful, but Kristie and Kim always answered my emails immediately and that helped me have time to focus on my mother as we prepared for her move. She is extremely happy there and felt at home almost immediately. I know my mother is safe and well cared for and that is allowing me time again to enjoy her without the stress of also being her primary care giver. I'm grateful to have this wonderful facility here on the Eastern Shore and for their contentious and caring staff. Every staff member I have met is kind and friendly, stops to say hello, and goes out of their way to provide personalized care to their residents.

This place is great! Putting my mom in a senior living home was the hardest and best decision that I have ever had to make. After touring the facility and meeting the staff, I knew that she would be taken care of. Kristie Annis made me feel comfortable and confident about my decision. If you are looking for a place for a senior loved one, I would highly recommend this place!

Our mother was coming out of rehab and we were looking for a facility that could provide up to a 30 day respite care. Commonwealth Senior Living was perfect. Mom very much enjoyed her stay. The staff were very attentive, friendly and treated our mother like family. We would highly recommend!!!!!!
