The amenities at The Chesapeake are pretty much the same as with other communities. The only difference is that their meal plan carries over for three months, so that is definitely an advantage. Their floor plan, however, does not have extra storage room. They provide a storage area but it is not very large. They provide your choice of flooring, whether you want rugs or hardwood, and the colors of the wall that you would like. They have more scheduled entertainment activities than other communities. They have the traditional transportation and nurses on-site primarily with the assisted living and the memory care. They have the typical swimming pool, like an exercise pool, but it is quite large. They do not have a theater, but they do have an all-purpose room where they could show movies. The dining area is large, and they're in the process of updating and combining four or five different eating areas, so they have much more of a choice than other communities.

I was attracted to The Chesapeake because there wasn't a single negative comment about it. Also, the reason I’m moving there is to be closer to friends and family. I have a one-bedroom, small apartment. They have a library area, a fitness room, and swimming pool all under one roof. They have a dining room and also a cafe. They provide us one meal a day that comes with the fee, but you can get more if you want.
