Commonwealth Senior Living at Manassas

I enjoy my time as a volunteer at Commonwealth Senior Living Manassas very much. The facility is extremely clean and light, the Staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a sense of excitement about new shared activity spaces being created for the residents. But, most of all I enjoy the residents as I lead them in an activity called, News Currents. It always amazes me how some are so engaged and respond with rather witty comments about the topics. I look forward to being there each week just to see if I can lift their spirits and help bring a smile to their faces.

Commonwealth Senior Living is a most impressive facility. It's extremely clean and the staff could not be more friendly or more caring. I came to visit a dear friend who has just recently moved into the memory care unit, but with all the security and the staff I have complete peace that she is safe and more than well cared for.

Our family recently had to move our dad to the Sweet Memories memory care unit at CSL-Manassas. We couldn't be happier with the care our dad receives and the unit itself. Dad loves everyone there and we are happy with how he is taken care of during this difficult journey he's on now. All the staff I've dealt with have been friendly and knew my dad. I want to shout out to Stephanie specifically, as I speak with her often on my visits. We've had good conversations about my dad, his care, and who he is as a person. She listens well, provides great feedback, and genuinely cares about the residents. She makes notes about dad in his record so all the staff are aware of things that can help with his care and his comfort. The only criticism I have (and it's not worth lowering how many stars I give) is the only one my dad has and it's that a lot of the time he says the food is cold by the time he gets it. I do need to keep in mind that he is much slower these days and it may be taking him a while to get to the dining room when the staff tells him it's mealtime, and it takes him longer to "prepare" his food how he likes it when he does get there. Also, one of the kitchens is under construction and that could also be an issue. However, my dad enjoys the food and we appreciate that the staff has learned how he likes to eat. Finally, Stephanie made him love grits with syrup -- proving an old dog can learn new tricks. LOL

Not an easy decision to place a loved one in Memory Care. After visiting Commonwealth in Manassas, I knew this would be the best place for my husband. The place is gorgeous and my one son said it was like a resort! Laura O’Connell, Jasmine Montgomery, Patty Koval, Brenda McKendry and the entire staff have been awesome! My husband has only been there a few days but so far so good!
