CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA–Commonwealth Senior Living (“CSL”) announces that it has added to its senior leadership team to further enhance the quality of services we provide to our residents, families and associates and growing our workforce for the future. The team represents some of the most talented individuals in the senior living business with expertise in all facets of the industry including operations, workforce development, resident care, finance, programming, and sales and marketing.
Richard Brewer will remain CEO and will continue to focus on future growth and development for the company.

“This is an exciting time for Commonwealth Senior Living,” said Brewer. “Our leadership team is among the best in the industry and their shared commitment to our CORE Values and passion for our residents is remarkable. I’m very excited about the future of Commonwealth Senior Living and the innovative team we have built.”
Earl Parker has been named president and COO of CSL. In this role, he oversees the management and operations of all senior living communities. Earl joined CSL five years ago and helped develop the company’s Core Values and brought new strategies to help fuel growth in talent, occupancy, and overall resident experience.

We believe that our shared focus on improving the lives of seniors, their families, and each other is a recipe for success.”
