CriticalI am/was a resident of this facility
Rooms are heated or cold thermostat do not work . Some Rooms get quite hot while others are cold. Managers can be rude or forceful.

PositiveI visited this facility
The Chesapeake was very nice. If you have a car, parking seems to be a problem. It is very high end, and it is very costly. You have to pay something to get into it, and then you have a monthly fee. The amenities are very, very nice. It's probably one of the nicer ones around. I really couldn't find anything wrong with it; it's just very, very high end. The apartment sizes are fairly nice. They have a beauty shop inside. Their food was very, very good. They have a bus to take you to places. They have…

The Chesapeake was too large for me. The people were nice. I did not eat any meals there, but they offered. They offered quite a few other things that you could do that the other place did not. They had one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, and they were nice. They had therapy rooms and a few more amenities than the other place had. It was clean, and the staff during the tour was very good. I just didn't like the fact that they didn't have assigned parking in the location.

PositiveI am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
Can't say enough good things about the health care unit at the Chesapeake. My dad, who was a Chesapeake resident in both independent & assisted living, had to be admitted into the health care unit several times. Every nurse, administrator, assistant, housekeeper and every other health care unit staff member was professional, cheerful, and always at the ready to do all that was necessary. My dad died in that wing, but not after all that could be done for him had been done by that loving staff. They also did…

My father lives at The Chesapeake nursing home, and he is in healthcare there. I don't have good thoughts about them at all. They need improvement in all areas. It goes from independent living, to assisted living to healthcare, and he's been in all areas. In independent living, you pretty much do fine because you take care of yourself. When it gets down into any of the other areas where you have to have assistance, they don't have enough help. They're just not the best, but it's an absolute…
