Commonwealth Senior Living at Cedar Manor provides assisted living, memory care and respite care in Chesapeake, Virginia’s Great Bridge neighborhood. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care provides a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time away. Having these care levels together may suit someone whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.
The community has 100 beds, with a starting price of $5,580 to give families an initial point for financial planning. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. Administrator Mr. Gary Pelton oversees the community.
Farm to table meals prepared by chefs include fresh local produce and seafood, and a registered dietician helps create well balanced menus. Landscaped gardens and patios give residents outdoor spaces, while the salon and spa provide personal care services on site. Activities include Tai Chi, virtual reality experiences, Wine and Design, and the Sweet Memories™ program.
Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation are available for residents who need therapy during a temporary recovery period. Transportation and shuttle services provide a way to travel beyond the community. With a Walk Score of 35 out of 100, the area is car dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride; someone who no longer drives would generally need transportation for errands.
