Welcome to Commonwealth Senior Living at Cedar Manor

Nestled in a serene, wooded setting just off Greenbrier Parkway in Chesapeake, Virginia, Commonwealth Senior Living at Cedar Manor blends genuine warmth with professional care. Residents enjoy a calm, close-knit atmosphere near Oak Grove Lake Park and local shops — a place where daily living feels familiar and community feels like home. The private grounds, including a lake and shaded walking paths, provide peaceful surroundings that support both comfort and connection. Life here focuses on dignity, meaningful moments, and the simple joy of companionship and shared routines.

Assisted Living

For individuals who value independence but need help with daily tasks, Cedar Manor’s Assisted Living offers respectful, personalized support delivered by a specially trained team on-site 24/7. From chef-prepared meals to help with bathing, dressing, and medication management — the community handles the essentials so residents can focus on enjoying life.

  • Assistance with daily living tasks: bathing, dressing, toileting, and dining support when needed.
  • Medication management and customized care plans in consultation with family and personal physicians.
  • Chef-prepared, restaurant-style dining — including farm-to-table menus with flexibility for preferences and dietary needs.
  • Wide selection of floor plans including private and companion suites, with housekeeping, weekly linen service, and climate control.

Life in Assisted Living at Cedar Manor isn’t just about support — it’s about engagement. Residents regularly enjoy structured social, recreational, and wellness programs designed to match their interests. Whether it’s relaxing in communal lounges, taking a stroll along wooded walking paths, or joining group activities, there’s always the opportunity to connect and participate. The community welcomes small pets, giving many residents the comfort of furry companionship in a pet-friendly environment.

Memory Care

For seniors living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, Cedar Manor’s Memory Care neighborhood — under the signature Sweet Memories™ program — provides a secure, supportive, and compassionate environment. Every care plan is tailored and updated regularly, ensuring safety, dignity, and meaningful daily engagement.

  • Secure access and protected open outdoor spaces (courtyards, gardens, walking paths) for safe strolling and fresh air.
  • Structured routines to reduce anxiety, support cognition, and maintain calm, day-to-day rhythms.
  • Holistic programming including music, art, and sensory-based therapies designed to connect with each person’s memories and strengths.
  • Compassionate personal care: help with bathing, dressing, toileting, dining, and medication — with licensed staff on-site 24/7.

Beyond the clinical aspects, Cedar Manor’s approach to Memory Care emphasizes humanity and dignity. The everyday schedule prioritizes connection — from memory-friendly activities to shared meals and social gatherings — helping residents feel seen, included, and valued in a community that understands their needs.

Respite & Short-Term Stays

Cedar Manor also offers short-term respite stays — ideal for seniors recovering from a hospital visit, injury, or simply exploring senior living for the first time. These stays provide the same full suite of services and comforts as longer-term residents enjoy, without requiring a long-term commitment.

  • Temporary access to assisted living and individualized care services during recovery or transitional periods.
  • All-inclusive living: housekeeping, linen service, chef-prepared meals, medication management, and 24/7 caregiving support.
  • Opportunity to experience community life — activities, social programs, companionship — while receiving professional care and supervision.
  • Flexible suite options (private or companion) to accommodate different comfort and support needs during the stay.

This option gives families peace of mind knowing their loved one is cared for with dignity and attention, even temporarily, while easing back into daily routines or allowing regular caregivers time to rest or regroup.

A Lifestyle Rooted in Community, Comfort & Connection

Cedar Manor stands out not just for its care — but for the life it offers. Here, residents enjoy restaurant-style dining crafted with farm-fresh ingredients, participate in a wide range of programs shaped by resident interests, and stay connected to both nature and community. Whether it’s a stroll along shaded walking paths, time by the private lake, or a shared activity in the community lounge, every detail is designed to nurture belonging, dignity, and purpose.

The community also supports aging in place: as care needs evolve, Cedar Manor offers multiple levels of care — from medication management to full memory care — so residents can stay in the same familiar surroundings even as their needs change.

If you’re seeking a senior living setting that balances support with dignity, independence with safety, and privacy with companionship — Cedar Manor could be the right fit for you or a loved one.
