Commonwealth Senior Living at the West End sits on eight wooded acres in Richmond, VA and has room for up to 48 residents. The building is one story, making it easy for seniors to get around, and residents' suites are comfortable, with both private and shared options that come unfurnished so folks can bring their own things. There's an English Garden and patio outside, plenty of common areas, and Wi-Fi throughout. Residents can have cats or small dogs under 25 lbs with a deposit, and there's transportation and parking available. Staff at this community help with things like bathing, dressing, meals, and medication-support is there around the clock, with an emergency call system and well-trained caregivers on site any time of day or night. The community supports people who need assisted living, memory care, or short-term stays, and they say people can age in place here with several care levels.
Meals use local farm-to-table ingredients, served in a pleasant dining room, and snacks are always available. Housekeeping comes daily and linens are changed weekly. Residents can join in activities like gentle yoga, exercise classes, crafts, shopping trips, social outings, wine and design, Bible study, musical shows, and reader's theater, and there's a SingFit music therapy program too. The "Today from the Bay" dining program brings local produce and fresh options. There are also fall prevention programs and services to help prevent elder abuse.
Commonwealth Senior Living at the West End is recognized for strong care and support, having earned the Best of Senior Living Award. The community's Sweet Memories™ program supports those with Alzheimer's and other memory challenges. Individual care plans, medication management, and support for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents are standard. Companion suites include shared closets and bathrooms for a more communal setup. There's respite care if someone only needs a short stay.
A resource library and directory help residents and their families find information, events, and connections to over 26,000 local, state, and national programs, which helps caregivers and providers as well. The facility emphasizes active aging and independence, so folks can keep living as fully as their health allows. Tours are available to show new families around, demonstrate daily life, and explain dining and activities. The place feels like a home, focusing on comfort, safety, and community, managed by Spring House Management, L.L.C., and it's always verified for licensing status.
