Commonwealth Senior Living at Grand Rapids

My grandpa lived the final weeks of his life at Commonwealth. I would often visit him and was impressed with the dedication and professionalism of the techs. I especially want to give a shout out to Shantee (forgive my spelling). My grandpa called her his fourth child and she was proud to earn that honor! Sometimes he would be in a sour mood and Shantee would immediately put a smile on his face simply by entering the room. She understood him because she cared enough to take the time to do so. She is an asset to the organization. Katina is another amazing staff. My grandpa, while his body was going through the shutdown process, refused to eat. Katina used her own money and drove to Popeyes to get him mashed potatoes and another time brought him Panera soup. While he was hospitalized for a few weeks, she texted every day asking for updates. She cared about him and wanted only the best for him. The other staff were exceptional, also. Thank you Commonwealth for helping make my grandpa's final days comfortable.

There are many wonderful things I could say about Commonwealth but I'll keep try and keep my review short. My grandma, who had vascular dementia, lived there for over 3 years and to say they did a wonderful job taking care of her is an understatement. The place was always clean, the staff always friendly and my grandma's needs and wants always met with with far exceeded expectations. Everyone there is always cheery, both residents and staff and you're always greeted with a smile. I would recommend this facility over and over again for family, friends and the like. Thank you Commonwealth for making my grandma's last three years comfortable, fun and relaxing and for making it easy on my family and myself knowing that she was always taken care of and never went without.

Our mom had been hoping for a bit more space, a change of scenery, and especially a room closer to the dining hall, as walking has become more challenging in recent weeks. Michelle and Amy went above and beyond to make this transition smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate their kindness, support, and dedication to ensuring our mom’s comfort. We are so grateful—thank you both so much!

Our mother has been living at Commonwealth for a little over 6 months now and we really like it. She is comfortable, has an excellent room, and says that she really does like living there. The best part of it all is that I can feel the good vibes and love that are being bestowed onto the residents. The aides really care about what they are doing to help everyone that lives there....from small needs to larger needs. I truly appreciate that I can "really" not worry as much about my mom and her happiness. I know that Commonwealth has our best concerns in mind. Thank you ALL for that because this rodeo takes a village to wrangle and I need all the help that I can get.
