Commonwealth Assisted Living LLC, based in Charlottesville, has opened its newest project, Commonwealth Assisted Living in Chesterfield County. The company spent the last six months and $2.5 million renovating the 33,152-square-foot property it acquired in April at 4931 Ridgedale Parkway.
The most dramatic change, according to the company, is the addition of a new memory-care section for residents experiencing memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.
The program offers a resident-centered approach with home-like environments designed to provide care as residents progress through the stages of dementia.
Chesterfield’s Commonwealth Assisted Living has 36 private and companion-assisted living suites, each with a private bathroom, and 18 memory-care suites. Residents receive assistance with activities of daily living as well as meals, housekeeping, transportation and ongoing social activities. The company plans a second-phase, $1.2 million project that will add more beds to the property.
Commonwealth Assisting Living now has 20 communities throughout Virginia, 15 of which provide Alzheimer’s and memory care.
