Independent Living in Hampton, Virginia

Golden Years was run-down and wasn't very clean. The rooms that they showed us seemed to be fairly clean because they're empty. I went to a shower area in another part of the building where they can take people in the wheelchair and shower. And it hadn't been cleaned, it needs to be regrouted and there's toilet paper on the floor. The 2 lady staff that I spoke with were very nice and accommodating. And they were both fairly new employees so they couldn't give us a lot of specifics. They were having church services at the time, some residents were watching TV, they have a pool table area, a big deck on the back that they go out and sit on when the weather is nice. It did seem like there was much going on. The staff was very nice and apologetic that no one was there to meet us.

The Chamberlin was nice, but it's isolated. They're on old Fort Monroe, and you have to leave the area to go to the grocery store. They have a swimming pool. The place was clean and very nicely decorated. We had some senior function there. The people came from all over.

Chamberlin was a very nice place. The layout was beautiful, and the dining area was very pretty, but the staff could have been more personable. They were having a happy hour.

Commonwealth was a good one. I liked it. Everybody was professional, very friendly, and caring. They have social hour and different activities they can do. The dining room was fine. It's supervised, and they are able to choose what they want to eat.

Commonwealth Assisted Living at Hampton was clean, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The grounds were very well kept. The neighborhood was OK, but there was not too much to do around the place. The only reason I'm giving them a rating of 3 stars is because I sent them an email to contact me, and I never heard back from them.
