Overview of Commonwealth Senior Living at Bon Air

Occupying 36 units across 88 licensed beds in Bon Air, Virginia, Commonwealth Senior Living at Bon Air delivers memory care under Administrator Kenneth Gibson’s direction. The community sits 6.6 miles from downtown in a car-dependent neighborhood (Walk Score 24). Current census stands at 61 residents (69% occupancy), notably lower than the statewide average of 85.7%.

Starting resident fees begin at $4,440 monthly. The facility accepts pets.

Staffing operates on a 24-hour basis with trained associates managing resident care, toileting assistance, and supervision. Residents benefit from farm-to-table meals, daily housekeeping, weekly linens, landscaped outdoor spaces, and private or companion room options. The community emphasizes its Sweet Memories™ Program, Travel The World offerings, trips, and social activities. Respite stays are available.

Inspection compliance demonstrates a mixed record since initial licensing in April 2024.

The inaugural inspection (April) and a mandated monitoring visit (July 2024) yielded zero deficiencies. However, renewal inspections beginning October 2024 have documented recurring documentation gaps. October 2024 identified inadequate recording of signaling device limitations in individualized service plans. One year later, October 2025 inspections (both monitoring and renewal) cited the same service plan deficiency plus two additional violations: missing written approval procedures for cognitive impairment placements and insufficient supervision protocols following a resident’s self-reported wandering incident from the secure memory care unit.

Four total deficiencies across five inspections places the facility 78% below Virginia’s average deficiency rate, yet the recurring nature of service plan documentation issues and the October 2025 supervision concern suggest systemic care planning and implementation challenges. No fines, complaints, or enforcement actions appear in available records.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Bon Air offers specialized dementia residential care with 24-hour staffing, activity programming, and controlled access.

The facility is appropriate for families with loved ones seeking memory care with documented attention to care planning protocols and supervision procedures.
