The Chesapeake

Nurses do the bare minimum. They will literally dehydrate your loved ones intentionally to minimize changing diapers. This establishment is very expensive but the value for the money is atrocious. Staff walks from room to room just to appear busy but are not doing anything. They hide in empty rooms and play on phones all day.

The Chesapeake is best described as a lifestyle option for retired adults who are highly functional and very capable of independent living. The positive points that are noted in other reviews, such as the updated facility and friendly staff, are all true, and for prospective residents who still have their faculties and want to live among white Christian people, the Chesapeake could be a great choice. If you have an elderly parent who is suffering from cognitive decline or has untreated mental health issues, the Chesapeake will not be an appropriate place for them. You will be much better served to get your loved one an appropriate diagnosis and move them to a facility that will address their specific needs. My brothers and I made the mistake of thinking that the continuity of care offered

I'm super frustrated with this facility. I had a great couple of initial phone calls and meeting with admissions regarding my dad moving to the facility but I have not heard anything back since. I coordinated to get my Dad's health and physical over to them, requested some pricing information, and attempted multiple times to leave voicemail or talk to the administrator and have heard nothing in response. I'm hoping this review turns into a positive interaction with the facility as I was very impressed in my initial walkthrough

Spoke with Maurice, that is one patient man. Very professional and understanding. (Coming from a managers standpoint)

I know several residents of the Chesapeake and they love it. But when the mother of a close friend had to go there for rehabilitation after an illness, I was very impressed. My father in law had to stay a couple of months in another facility in NC and while the staff was friendly and helpful, the Chesapeake's decor and atmosphere is so much better! Everyone we spoke with was smiling and very professional. I believe both environment and helpful staff are critical to the healing and well being of the residents.
