PositiveReview 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

Criticalrather 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!
Response from the communityThank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear your kind words about our team and will be sure to share them. If there’s ever anything your family needs or would like to clarify, our team is always happy to help and provide guidance. We’re committed to making every resident feel informed and supported. Sincerely, Amy Simon, Executive Director.
