The Commons at Elk Grove delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to everyday support while addressing more complex needs such as moderate dementia. Team members monitor residents who manage diabetes with oral medications and adjust care plans as conditions change. Memory Care programming is designed to reduce confusion and reinforce daily routines, and staff coordinate closely with families and physicians to keep treatment goals on track.
Around-the-clock care is reinforced by licensed nurses on staff, mandatory background checks for every employee, and an awake night shift that responds quickly to pull-cord alerts. A wander-management system helps protect residents who may attempt to exit unsupervised. On-site medical resources include visiting podiatry, a dedicated therapy room, and contract physical therapy from ONR. Residents who need hands-on help receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from supervision for walker use to two-person transfers and Hoyer lifts, ensuring each resident is moved safely.
Apartments can feature private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, and in-room cable, although availability varies by unit. Housekeeping keeps living spaces tidy, and scheduled laundry service handles linens and personal clothing. Families can choose layouts that match the resident’s preferences and budget, knowing staff are steps away when help is needed.
Dining is structured to balance nutrition with medical requirements. The culinary team accommodates diet modifications, including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical chop, purée, and thickened-liquid plans. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special events, giving residents flexibility without compromising dietary guidelines.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and a pet-friendly policy that recognizes the value of companion animals. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, internet access, communal gardens, concierge services, library, theater, and a putting green. Transportation is provided through a scheduled shuttle focused on medical appointments, helping residents stay connected to outside providers and activities.
