What does ‘Memory Care’ mean at Commonwealth?
Welcome to Sweet Memories™, the award-winning memory care program offered at Commonwealth Senior Living. We understand this is a journey for the entire family and are committed to providing expert training for not only our own team, but also comprehensive support to the families who entrust us with the care of their loved one. The program is specifically designed to deliver the highest quality of care, support, and engagement to our residents living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
The program blends the warm, homelike feeling of our distinct memory care neighborhoods, personalized care delivered by compassionate, specially trained caregivers, the calm and familiarity of routine schedules and consistent staffing with engaging programs and activities. All work in concert to provide our memory care residents with the very best experiences every day.
Our associates enjoy rigorous training to ensure they're able to provide a safe, loving, and engaging home for our residents. This training includes Virtual Dementia Tours ™, Advanced Dementia Training, and Certified Dementia Practitioner Training. We also provide families with Sweet Beginnings family orientation which creates a partnership between the family and care team and educates the family on what to expect throughout the progression of this unique disease.

Few Memory Care residents require full support in all of these areas, but all require a level of help in some of them. Becoming part of an Assisted Living community can also prepare residents for future needs or occasional spikes in care needs through a continuum of care or aging in place model. In this respect, joining a community when a resident’s needs are still fairly modest can minimize disruption and distress during more chaotic phases.

Why We Do What We Do
At Commonwealth Senior Living, our mission is to improve the lives of seniors, their families, and each other. We asked our associates who fulfill our mission each day the questions - "Why did you choose a career in senior living?" and "What does your career mean to you?" Here's what they had to say!
