PositiveThe name has been recently changed to The Berkeley at Short Pump. It is difficult to evaluate accurately with new management. However, they seem to be responsive to concerns. The care giving staff has been very good. The medication technicians have been very prompt. My two concerns are with housekeeping and communication. I think my husbands room should be cleaned more thoroughly. Communication updates from the on site Dr and activities there haven't been good. This is one of the main goals for the manager. Too so…
