The Commons in Grand Junction provides three levels of residence—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—with the flexibility to transition among them as needs change. The community is prepared to assist residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk of elopement, individuals who rely on oxygen, and diabetics managed by oral medication. Memory Care programming is designed to support residents with advanced dementia, incorporating structured routines and safety measures that reduce confusion and maintain dignity.
Clinical resources on site include 12- to 16-hour nursing coverage, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, wound management, pain and cardiac care, dialysis coordination, podiatry and dental services, vision care, and hospice. Background-checked staff members remain awake throughout the night, and an activity director oversees therapeutic engagement. The team can manage all medication coordination, incontinence care, and complex conditions while offering standby or full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from walker or wheelchair supervision to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, allowing residents with different mobility levels to remain safely in place. An enclosed courtyard helps reduce exit-seeking behaviors for Memory Care residents, and continual assessments guide care adjustments.
Apartments are available in several layouts, some with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, and cable hookups. Residents may personalize their spaces with paint or décor, and housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Because floor plans vary, not every unit includes every listed feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm details during a tour.
Meals are prepared to order, with gluten-free and vegetarian selections offered daily. Snacks are available between meals, and residents may choose in-room dining or host family gatherings in a private dining room when advance notice is given. The culinary staff works with clinical teams to honor physician-directed diets and can adapt textures for those with swallowing difficulties.
Community amenities include outdoor smoking areas, a pet-friendly policy, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, internet access, on-site religious services, concierge support, a library, and special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and local errands. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
