Commonwealth Senior Living at Charlottesville
Commonwealth Senior Living at Charlottesville offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Charlottesville, VA. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and dining, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs may change over time without requiring a move to a different community. The community has 93 beds, and its starting monthly price is $4,217, although the available pricing does not identify which care level that figure covers. Farm to table dining includes a variety of options, and the Sweet Memories™ Program is available. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet when moving in.
A Walk Score of 36 places the area in a car dependent category, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. Lisa Baker serves as the administrator.
