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!

Great Family Experience

[name removed] and [name removed] were super friendly and helpful. They really bent over backwards for our family, helping the transition go as smoothly as possible.

Commonwealth East Paris Review

They were understaffed when we were there, we moved to [facility name removed] on [date removed]. [facility name removed[] is a huge improvement. The response times at Commonwealth were not good.
