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.

What amenities do residents enjoy?

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!

What role does the family play after we move our loved one into a senior living community?

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.

Assisted Living

Assisted living at Commonwealth Senior Living provides the ideal balance of personalized support, delivered with dignity, respect, and independence.

"My dad has been at Commonwealth 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 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 to anyone looking for the a safe, comfortable space for a loved one."
