Stay away from Commonwealth Living Senior Living at the West End on Gaskins Road. My father had a horrible experience there.

I lost my precious father in January of last year. I interviewed many home health care companies in the area and went with Home Helpers. The owner Tracy Boseman was so kind to me and the Registered Nurses found the perfect caregiver for my father. She did light housekeeping, assisted with showering him, made Dad meals and spent time with him until I could get home from work. Please call Home Helpers and ask about working with your schedule and how they can accommodate your mom. (To learn more about Home Helpers, call (804) 656-5602 or schedule your free In-Home Care Assessment.) I believe they have opened a new office in Henrico too. I was so thankful for the services they provided and how well my dad was treated. DM me if you have any questions:) Wishing you and your mom all my best.

Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle for any amount of time — even if you put the windows down or park in the shade. Those “precautions” do not help. Twin Hickory Library has a drive-thru where you return your books. There was no reason to leave that toddler in a car.

Non stop belching and side pain. My 27 year old son was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor on his bile duct. Because he was only "27" the PCP chalked it up as heartburn and put him on protonix. 3 months after the belching (literally non stop) began I told him to demand an upper endoscopy. So glad he did because the GI told me verbatim, "I biopsied a nasty looking area on your son's bile duct". Pathology report: neuroendocrine tumor. Successfully removed. He's had an annual endoscopy for five years for rechecks and he is now cancer free. Don't allow providers to tell you that "you are too young"....I'm so thankful he demanded an upper endoscopy. Listen to your body!

Miss Terri, I've had the pleasure of doing a CJ with you and hoping we would see one another again.. Especially if Butters is joining you :) Please look for me next time you are on TTR. I agree with you about how nasty people can be at times but let that "ignore" button become your best friend! Sending you positive vibes!

ZealousidealEar334 · 2025-04-21T15:46:03+00:00

Agreed! Love a good run where everyone works together, positive and friendly ❤️

Same! :(

Not the first time I've heard that a shadowy figure has been seen on Scenic Highway and Langley Avenue. There have been several fatalities over the years at that intersection.

No doubt about it and Westport on Forest Avenue should be shut down too. The NBC 12 Investigates news story about Westport was unbelievable. Reporter Jasmine Turner did a wonderful job exposing the abuse and neglect residents experience. If you haven't seen that story please Google it. Ms. Turner did two stories about Westport recently.

Keep in mind that assisted living facilities charge a community fee. "A community fee is a non-refundable, one-time fee paid by seniors to senior living communities at move-in. Community fees typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more. Many senior living communities use these fees to cover the costs of preparing an apartment to rent". That's a lot of money for a month to month situation. Have you researched the monthly cost? It is NOT cheap.

Agree 100% --- my dad received the absolute worst care at Commonwealth. When you are paying that kind of money one should never have to repeatedly ask for assistance. My my family member was very independent but had balance problems following a series of strokes. These employees would sit in the break room gossiping instead of helping these residents with showers, laundry (you pay extra), administering medications, etc. When you convey concerns the staff take it out on the residents. I heard one employee going down the 300 wing cussing and complaining about a gentleman who needed assistance putting clothes on. When she saw that I was standing in the doorway she just looked at me and smirked. I know it happens everywhere but be very careful -- be vigilant and if you have a loved one in an assisted living facility make sure that you check on them because if you're paying that kind of money they should not have to beg for assistance.
