Your loved ones, will be loved at Commonwealth

Everything was amazing. [name removed] didn't participate in activities, but anytime I walked by and seen them going on, they looked fun and everyone seemed to be enjoying them. Staff was very friendly and pleasant with me as well as [name removed]. I ate there a few. Times and food was good. Wait staff and chef seemed to really aim to please residents. Apartment size was sufficient.

Review for Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris

They go above & beyond what other senior facilities would do to help families in tough situations. The staff were all on board to protect my mom. I couldn't ask for a better place to have my mom at. Sadly, she passed away after only two months at Commonwealth Senior Living from cancer. But at least she was in a safe, clean place with people watching out for her instead of living in a filthy hoarder house. My sister still hates me, but I did the right thing and I couldn't have done it without Commonwealth's help

rather disappointed.

Meal times are inconsistent. Food not hot. Water in apartment is warm at best, though efforts to repair in the works. No orientation provided so mom isn't sure of contacts & had to learn from other residents about services, meal times, trash location, etc. Staff are really nice, but housekeeping terribly understaffed!

Beautiful facility- unable to accommodate complicated care

I sought this facility out as a secure living environment for my mother. My mother is and was a difficult patient. She is struggling with early onset dementia and psychiatric care. After a psychiatric stay at a mental health hospital, she was not welcome back. Exceptional cleanliness and a beautiful facility. The special dietary needs (gluten and nut free) of my mother were able to be be met! However, they were unable to accommodate "a difficult patient" whose medical needs were not only early onset dementia care-- she also has psychiatric issues. Upon discharge from a psychiatric hospital mom was not welcome back there. "We are unable to accommodate her level of care." I needed a safe, secure facility for mom to live in while we navigated her medical and psychiatric needs. Commonwealth did their best, yet were unable to help us.

Commonwealth is Family.

Commonwealth is a wonderful community. My mom is adapting well and has experienced all good. She really likes it there. These staff is super supportive. I gave a 4 on food because my mom says every once in awhile she doesn't care for the selection. Commonwealth offers transportation services to meet residents needs. They have a day set up for medical. A day set up for groceries or other shopping services. You just have to call the week before if needed the following week. Also initially I thought it was only 2 meals a day provided. Commonwealth provides all 3. My mom and I highly recommend Commonwealth it is a lot of value for your dollar.

Review for Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris

Stay as far away from it as you can. I picked it because I wasn't able to come and check it out myself and I was not told the truth about it it was nothing like I was told. It does not have the elders care, as number one

We picked this community, because it felt very welcoming and helpful when I spoke with them on the phone and called me back quickly. It was amazing. I would have a friend, call them, get a tour, and let them know that my loved one is so grateful to be there.

Subpar Independent Living

We picked this community, because they allowed dogs and were in our price range. But also the renovations looked nice and promising I haven't been impressed. They don't have good communication or follow through. Trasportation was offered but not provided as promised.

I would recommend this place

I would tell others looking to go visit at sporadic times throughout the day. You can see what is going on and communicate with them if there are any concerns that you may be having. I would recommend Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris to others based off of our experience.

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:

  • Know Michigan’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
