Welcome to Commonwealth Senior Living at Georgian Manor

Nestled in the River Walk neighborhood of Chesapeake, Virginia, Commonwealth Senior Living at Georgian Manor offers a warm, welcoming community where comfort, care, and connection come together. With tree-lined streets, well-maintained grounds, and a neighborhood feel, Georgian Manor blends the calm of a residential setting with easy access to nearby medical care, shopping, and local charm — giving residents the best of both worlds.

Georgian Manor stands out for its full range of care options: from assisted living and memory care through their award-winning Sweet Memories™ program, to flexible short-term respite stays. That means residents and families can find the right level of support now — and know that the community is prepared to adapt as needs change, without the upheaval of relocating.

Assisted Living — Personalized Care, Daily Comfort, and Real Life

For seniors seeking a lifestyle that balances support with dignity and independence, Georgian Manor’s Assisted Living program provides just that. A specially trained care team is onsite around the clock, ready to assist with daily tasks as needed — whether that’s bathing, dressing, medication management, or help with dining. Care plans are tailored to each person’s needs, preferences, and rhythms, so that everyone receives the right level of attention at the right time.

Residents live in private or companion suites designed to feel like home. Each suite offers comforts like private baths, individual climate controls, and convenient features such as a sink and small refrigerator. Because housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, and meal preparation are all handled by the community, residents are free to focus on the things they enjoy — hobbies, social time, or relaxation.

Daily life is enriched with restaurant-style dining, social events, and manageable routines. A typical week might include outings, family-night gatherings, or quiet moments in the library or a sunlit lounge. The care team aims not just to assist — but to help each resident live a life filled with dignity, choice, and warmth.

Memory Care — Compassion, Connection, and Calm Through Sweet Memories™

For seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, the Sweet Memories™ Memory Care neighborhood at Georgian Manor offers a secure environment built around consistency, respect, and human connection. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, care is deeply personalized — every resident’s history, preferences, and personality guide the care plan.

Key aspects of memory care here include:

  • Secure, thoughtfully designed spaces with soft lighting, calm décor, and safe walking paths — creating an environment that feels familiar and reduces anxiety.
  • Suite options (private or shared) with emergency call systems, ensuring both safety and comfort as needs evolve.
  • Daily routines and meaningful, purposeful programs: from music and art sessions to sensory-based activities and reminiscence exercises — all designed to support mood, memory, and connection.
  • Consistent caregivers with specialized dementia training (including Virtual Dementia Tours™ and Certified Dementia Practitioner credentials), offering attentive, compassionate support from people who truly understand and care.

At Sweet Memories™, the goal isn’t just care — it’s helping residents feel known, safe, and valued every day. Families often describe it as a place where their loved ones are supported, engaged, and treated with dignity.

Respite & Short-Term Stays — A Gentle Bridge in Times of Transition

Life changes — whether a hospital stay, recovery period, or exploring senior living for the first time — can be overwhelming. Georgian Manor offers short-term respite stays that provide residents access to the same attentive care, comfortable suites, nourishing meals, and community environment, without needing to commit long-term.

For families and individuals navigating transitions, this flexibility can offer peace of mind. It’s an opportunity to experience community living and care firsthand — with support when it’s needed, and time to make thoughtful, stress-free decisions.

Life at Georgian Manor — Warmth, Community, and Purposeful Days

At Georgian Manor, daily life is about more than care — it’s about connection, comfort, and belonging. Meals are prepared by professional chefs using seasonal ingredients, served in elegant dining spaces where residents can gather, share stories, and enjoy good conversation. Menus rotate frequently and accommodate special dietary needs, so dining remains a social highlight.

Beyond meals, a robust activity calendar and thoughtfully designed spaces offer something for every interest and pace. Residents enjoy access to:

  • A cozy library with fireplace, perfect for reading or quiet conversation.
  • Common rooms with comfortable seating — ideal for games, card clubs, or socializing with friends.
  • A beauty/parlor salon and barbershop for regular grooming in a familiar, friendly environment.
  • Outdoor courtyards, walking paths, and landscaped gardens — giving residents a chance to enjoy fresh air, nature, and gentle exercise.

For those who enjoy outings, transportation services help residents attend medical appointments or local activities. Movie nights, structured group trips, and opportunities for worship or devotional gatherings offer variety and community engagement. The atmosphere is homey, welcoming, and rooted in respect for each individual’s preferences and pace.

Location & Neighborhood — Peace of Mind and Local Charm

Georgian Manor’s location in Chesapeake’s River Walk area offers both convenience and tranquility. Within minutes, residents and families can reach medical facilities such as Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, Sentara Greenbrier, and local physician offices — ensuring that healthcare access is nearby and reliable.

The surrounding area adds to the appeal: scenic parks, quiet lakes, walking trails, and the Elizabeth River provide opportunities for gentle outings or peaceful drives. Residents may enjoy a visit to Oak Grove Lake Park, a trip to Towne Place at Greenbrier for shopping, or a leisurely stroll along the waterfront. For many, those simple outings — combined with homey comfort back at Georgian Manor — create a fulfilling rhythm of life.
