While caring for loved ones with memory loss or dementia, caregivers must remember their health is just as important as those they are caring for.

Senior Living at Ballentine FAQs

Can I bring my pet to the community?
Yes! The number, size and type of pets allowed is determined by each community & requires a $500 deposit fee which is refundable under the terms of the deposit agreement. The resident should be able to care for the pet or arrange outside services to support.
What is the food like at Commonwealth Senior Living?
We are proud of many award-winning dining programs at Commonwealth Senior Living, including Farm to Table Dining that brings fresh, local produce to our resident's plates, and Today from the Bay, that includes fresh, local seafood. We also use a Registered Dietician to help us create well-balanced menus with tons of variety for our communities. In addition to these, we encourage our residents to offer feedback and direction to our menu creation for each community, reflecting their preferences and regional flare.
Will I be able to access Wi-Fi at the community?
Yes, wi-fi is available to all residents.
What will my suite look like?
Since our suites are unfurnished, you have the freedom to bring along your own furniture and cherished belongings when you move in. This way, you can personalize and style your suite to your preferences.
What does aging in place mean?
Aging in place means that while your needs may change, your address doesn't have to. Commonwealth Senior Living provides multiple levels of care from simple medication management to a full memory care neighborhood with 24-hour support.
