Commonwealth Senior Living at Eastern Shore sits in a historic village near Chesapeake Bay, not too far from Virginia Beach, and it's got a calm, scenic setting close to Onancock in Wicomico County, Maryland. The community offers three levels of care-independent living, assisted living, and memory care-so residents can stay in the same place even if their needs change over time, and there are also short-term respite stays for people who need care for a little while. Seniors can choose from private and companion suites, studio and one-bedroom apartments, and there's pet-friendly housing for cats and dogs under 25 pounds with a refundable deposit, along with features like landscaped gardens, patios, a gazebo, outdoor decks, a beauty and barber shop, a library, and a worship area. Staff handle chores like housekeeping, cooking, maintenance, and linens, and there's resident parking, plus complimentary transportation for trips and appointments.
The independent living area is good for seniors who want an active lifestyle and a busy social calendar, without having to worry about meals or home upkeep, and daily life includes enrichment programs, exercise classes, and chances to connect with other residents. The assisted living part covers support for bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication management, with staff members who are available all day and night if help is needed. The community's memory care, called the Sweet Memories™ Program, gives specialized support for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, with cognitive-enhancing programs, custom care routines, and a secure, safe environment to help reduce confusion and prevent wandering, plus unique features like SingFit, a music therapy tool, to encourage connection and engagement. People can get personalized care plans based on their own needs, and the place is set up for everything from short-term respite to end-of-life hospice and nursing home care, with wheelchair-accessible showers, full tubs, and an emergency call system.
Commonwealth Senior Living at Eastern Shore has daily activities onsite and offsite, social and educational events, devotional services in and outside the community, and the "Travel the World" program for meaningful experiences, along with a focus on farm-to-table dining using fresh, local food for nutritious, enjoyable meals. Residents have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces, like garden courtyards and common rooms, for gatherings and hobbies. The community emphasizes safety, dignity, and independence, aiming to give seniors a comfortable, supportive place to live, with personalized help from professionally trained staff and associates always there to assist where needed.
