My brother's overall experience is good. It was the availability of an independent apartment that made my brother and I choose Farnham. The 2bedroom apartment is very roomy. Generally well kept up. A bit awkward to get meals. He was not ready for assisted living but was experiencing mild memory problems, so this living situation near me is ideal for now. I am very glad he is a part of a continuing care community because I may not be able to meet his needs in the future. That is a blessing.

Peaceful, friendly country-side community
Our loved one is in independent living so there is no care involved. What our family likes the most about Commonwealth Senior Living is the Individual independent care units (not an apartment block). Close to family in neighboring town. House keeping service. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

Our families experience
Overall the experience has, been good. I go there once a week since it's 2 hrs. Away. The staff is always friendly . Neal is at level 4 care, so hospice comes in and gives him some extra care. He always tells me how good the food taste. I usually feed him and it looks good.

Great place for loved ones with friendly staff and we would recommend
With our loved one have Alzheimer's the staff here have been very good with him, truly they have been wonderful to him as well as our family. They have really good activities there - they had a Christmas holiday party and are throwing a Valentine's Day party as well. They have even taken our loved one and other residents out on their van for a day trip. We have had a few lunch meals together and they are really good.

A Nice Community
We really like the location of the community, it is in a rural setting. We really like the idea that they have independent living, assisted living and memory care all in the same location so they have all the resources available. We like the nature of independent living being in a separate building so other than housekeeping and a meal service you are living independently. Based on our experience we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

Highly recommend
We chose Commonwealth Senior Living because it was recommended to us. The apartment sizes here are very spacious and easy to get around in. He has his own back porch big enough for a grill and outside table. He moved in once covid started but I know they take them on trips and things like that. They have just started making arrangements for residents to get their shots. I do not have to worry about him which is very nice. Overall, we have had a good experience and would recommend to others who are looking.

The community was ok. The room was clean and had ample space. The furniture could have been rented or been provided. The food looked ok. The nurses were better than average. There wasn't much communication between the family and the community. The executive director has no health care experience, his degree is in marketing, and clearly not capable

The best part of Farnham Manor are the staff. It is obvious to even the casual observer that all of the direct care staff and others care about the residents. There is a level of staff maturity that gives me confidence that good care is the norm. I have heard only good things about the food and planned activities.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Virginia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia regulations for Assisted Living.
