Berkshire Commons provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with capabilities that extend to residents who live with advanced dementia. The team is equipped to care for individuals who wander during the day or night, exhibit elopement risks, stay up throughout the night, require oxygen, or manage diabetes with oral medications.
Around-the-clock support is built into daily operations. An RN or LPN is on site, backed by a 24-hour nurse on call. All staff members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift ensures continuous monitoring. Security measures include door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull-cord alerts, and PERS devices. On-site podiatry visits and a dedicated therapy room supplement medical oversight. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the community can provide walker, wheelchair, standby, or one-person transfers as needed.
Apartments offer practical features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, and cable access, with housekeeping and scheduled laundry services included. Residents may add personal touches by painting or decorating their rooms. Not all apartments contain every listed feature, so confirming specific details during a tour is advised.
Meals follow a set menu served at regular times, with snacks always available. The kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications or management plans to support individual health requirements.
Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, concierge services, a library, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
