Care
Assisted Living
A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.
Independent Living
Designed to help older adults who want to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, these communities offer services and amenities that cater to residents’ needs, while encouraging a sense of community and freedom from the responsibilities of owning a home.
Memory Care
Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.
Life Plan/CCRCs
Also referred to as Life Plan Communities, these communities offer a comprehensive continuum of care for residents. CCRCs offer multiple levels of care, allowing seniors to transition between independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care as their needs change throughout their aging journey.
Skilled Nursing
Skilled nursing and nursing homes are residential facilities that offer medical care and support for individuals that require a higher level of medical attention and assistance. These are staffed by licensed healthcare providers and offer a range of services to ensure the well-being and comfort of residents.

We had a very negative experience with The Commons Skilled Nursing and Rehab facility. Our elderly mother was admitted after a hospitalization with the hope that she could improve her strength enough to return to assisted living. We were told it was a highly sought-after rehab, and the one positive aspect was that she had her own room. However, during the 3 or so weeks she was there, she endured being treated in a dismissive and unfriendly manner by the aides who transferred and assisted her, experienced excessive wait times for assistance, was bruised three times due to awkward transfers and a blood pressure cuff that was too tight, and had one medication error by an on-call nurse practitioner from Mt. Auburn that thankfully turned out not to be serious. The head of nursing at The Commons was fantastic, and besides that error our mother received good nursing care there - thus the two stars. But the rest of her experience was very difficult. Even on the day she left, the staff didn’t noticed that the wheeelchair car they’d arranged for her transport never arrived until my mother called me to contact them to ask what was going on an hour after she was supposed to have left. When the vehicle finally arrived 3 hours late, it did not accommodate a wheelchair and she had to be loaded onto a stretcher. When I called to make sure her wheelchair would go with her, since I couldn’t trust The Commons anymore to handle things, I was cut off with a “Ma’am,” as I tried to explain that I needed to be 100% sure that her wheelchair would go with her. At one point, the head of administration thanked me for letting them know what had been going on and said they would address the issues and assured me that, “This is not who we are.” I hope she is right and that they make big improvements. We would not send a family member there again.

The commons is welcoming. The surroundings are warm and comforting as close to a home like feel you can get. My mom was there for a week and enjoyed the food especially. The staff is kind and friendly. Making your stay even more comfortable. Thank you to all. Melissa

First and foremost I want to say that the property is so warming and welcoming. The front desk staff was very attentive when I checked in for my visit. I felt right at home. When I reached my resident in memory care, the atmosphere was welcoming. I found my resident clean and groomed, with a smile on his face. Your organization is doing a wonderful job. I look forward to coming again.
