 Commonwealth Assisted Living, LLC is based in Charlottesville, Virginia and currently manages twelve Virginia Assisted Living Facilities, six of which specialize in providing Alzheimer's / memory care. Our management team members complement each other, and together we offer a complete package of experience in all the aspects of operating an assisted living facility. Our philosophy of staying in the Commonwealth of Virginia and within a three-hour driving radius of our properties enables us to provide the personal involvement and frequent on-site presence that is crucial when operating this type of business.
Mission Statement Our goal is to provide quality care to our elderly population in a non-institutional, home-like atmosphere. We endeavor to provide these services at a price that remains affordable to our residents while allowing for an attractive return for our clients and investors. Management and Administration On behalf of our clients we provide a team of professionals who work with the facility’s on-site management to assure quality housing, personal care, and comprehensive services that are responsive to the needs and preferences of residents and their families. We oversee the maintenance of regulatory compliance, personnel recruitment, training and retention, census maintenance and development, revenue enhancement, receivables management and cost controls. Our goal is to provide optimum resident care with the most efficient operation possible. We offer a number of successful tactics that have resulted in both enhanced resident care and consistent compliance. We have developed and implemented training programs for both nursing staff and ancillary personnel, allowing them to be comfortable and knowledgeable when completing their duties. In addition, we strive to promote a workplace atmosphere that recognizes and awards personal accountability and promotes respect, understanding, teamwork, flexibility and good humor among caring employees.
