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. Backed by over 20 years of unwavering commitment and knowledge, we proudly serve 32 communities throughout Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, and Michigan.

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

Assisted living at Commonwealth Senior Living provides the ideal balance of personalized support, delivered with dignity, respect, and independence. We understand that while you may have come to our community for personal care and help with everyday activities, such as getting dressed or bathing, that 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!

All work together to provide our memory care residents with the best experiences every day.

“My dad has been at Commonwealth Senior Living for about a year and the peace of mind that they have brought to us is priceless. It’s certainly never an easy decision to move a loved one out of their home, but the folks at Commonwealth Senior Living have made the transition so much easier than I imagined. Their communication with me is exceptional and the care they give my dad is top notch. I’ve been really impressed with how much we’ve been able to make dad’s space his own and structure his daily life to his preferences. I’d highly recommend Commonwealth Senior Living to anyone looking for the a safe, comfortable space for a loved one.”

What are the benefits of moving to a senior living community?

Residents in senior living communities enjoy maintenance-free living in a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. 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!

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.

Our residents enjoy amenities & services including their private apartments or companion suites, personalized care support delivered by specially trained team members onsite 24/7, award-winning dining including “Today from the Bay” seafood menu & Farm-to-Table fresh flavors, all locally sourced, and engaging resident programs including Travel the World that brings the food, music, games, art & culture of other countries right to our communities. In addition, residents enjoy housekeeping, home maintenance, transportation, and more!

At Commonwealth Senior Living, we go above and beyond to ensure our families are able to visit and stay in touch with their loved ones after moving in. Our families are just as important as our residents! 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.

Commonwealth Senior Living provides personalized care in a home-like setting, whereas skilled nursing facilities are designed as an acute medical model and provide personal care in a clinical setting. You can learn more about the differences between our communities and skilled nursing facilities here.

A Culture Built for Caregivers

At Commonwealth Senior Living, our team has created the Core Values we honor, recognize, and authentically live by. Caregiving is a rewarding, mission-driven career, and we take pride in providing excellent senior care that meets these values.
