Welcome to Commonwealth Senior Living at the West End

Just beyond the bustle of Richmond’s Short Pump corridor, Commonwealth Senior Living at the West End offers a quiet retreat in one of the region’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Step outside and your minutes from local parks, coffee shops, and all the colors of suburban Richmond. Step inside and you’ll find something just as special: a close-knit community where the days move at your pace, support is always within reach, and every detail is shaped around what feels like home.

But don’t just take our word for it. We’re proud to have been recognized as a Top Retirement Community for 2022 by Virginia Living Magazine and by US and World Report as Best Memory Care in Richmond, Virginia in 2023.

What our Families are Saying

It's been such a wonderful experience ever since we decided to move my husband's mother here after my father-in-law passed. The staff is really friendly, and there's a really good sense of community! It's been so wonderful getting to see my mother-in-law come back into herself more and more with each and every visit! She has her own circle of friends, and we've been told that we'll need to be introduced next visit! We did have a brief issue with billing last month, but as soon as I sent over…

I have had many experiences with this senior living and community, and it still continues to be at the top of my recommendation list. Tiffany and Cooper have been simply stellar to work with. Each time I go to the community, all of the residents and staff are so happy. 10/10

– Danielle Richardson

My husband who has Alzheimers has been at CSL since early January and I am so pleased and grateful for the care he is receiving. The transition is not easy for the resident or the family but the staff has the experience and the knowledge to help residents become part of the community. There are so many activities that are offered that keep the residents engaged. The staff is amazing and I am thankful everyday for everyone at CSL who contributes to my guy's wellbeing.

– Mary

My Dad was at Commonwealth on a respite stay and received the very best care. It’s because of this care he was able to return home. The Fox rehab team was amazing and every single person who cared for him was so kind and helpful. Paris and Louis make an amazing team over there as well as everyone else. Thank you to all! We could not have done it without you all!

– Elisabeth Jacobs

Such a nice community. During my last visit, I understood why they say welcome home. They should be proud.
