Welcome Home

At Commonwealth Senior Living, we are passionate about improving the lives of seniors, their families, and each other through our four guiding behaviors: we listen, we love, we care, and we serve.  

Families rely on us to provide compassionate, caring guidance as they navigate their journey from home to one of our communities.

Actively Engaging Our Residents

Our communities introduce new opportunities for residents to experience joy, make meaningful connections, and remain actively engaged through programs, activities, events, and outings. Our mission is clear: create a home-like environment where residents and their families are embraced with care and comfort in a vibrant community.

Assisted Living at Commonwealth Senior Living

Assisted Living

Assisted living at Commonwealth Senior Living, also known as Personal Care in Pennsylvania, provides the ideal balance of personalized support, delivered with dignity, respect, and independence. We understand that while the need for personal care and assistance with everyday activities such as getting dressed or bathing may have brought you to our community, it doesn't mean your desire to live an active, full, and meaningful life has changed. And it shouldn't have to. Here, you can have it all!

    FAQs at Commonwealth Senior Living
    • What are the benefits of moving to a senior living community?

Communities also offer engaging social opportunities seniors otherwise may not have. This gives families peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safely enjoying their best life during their sunset years!
    • How does CSL welcome new residents compared to other communities?
      At Commonwealth Senior Living, our associates take cues from new residents' backgrounds and interests to facilitate engagement in community events and activities. We coordinate resident ambassadors and ensure new residents meet our team at the beginning of their time with us. We also have a welcome program for new residents and families at our communities. For our families moving a loved one in Sweet Memories™, we offer more support through our Sweet Beginnings Program to support the entire family journey.

In addition to daily visits, monthly Family Nights provide opportunities for families, residents, and associates to spend time together and get to know one another. Additionally, all Commonwealth Senior Living communities offer access to SMILE, a free communications tool that allows families to communicate directly with associates.
