Commonwealth Senior Living at Cedar Bluff offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, enabling residents to remain in one setting even as their needs change. The Memory Care program is equipped to handle advanced dementia and associated concerns such as wandering in the morning or evening, elopement risk, combative behavior, and other complex behavioral issues, including being awake throughout the night. Clinical capabilities include wound management, oxygen therapy, and detailed diabetic care—for residents using oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols. The team also supports special physician-ordered diets and welcomes adults younger than 60 when appropriate.
An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock, while awake night-shift caregivers monitor residents and respond to pull-cord or PERS alerts. Safety measures include background-checked employees and door-alarmed exits. Physicians and a psychiatric nurse practitioner visit regularly, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric histories while providing specialized dementia programming. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained for transfers ranging from standby help to two-person lifts, whether a resident uses a walker or a wheelchair.
Apartments are available in several layouts that may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished living areas, roll-in showers, independent temperature controls, and basic cable. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Not every apartment contains every feature, so prospective residents and families should confirm specific amenities during a tour.
Meals are served restaurant-style with both set menus and made-to-order choices. Between meals, snacks are always available. The culinary team can modify textures to mechanical chop and accommodate physician-prescribed or preference-based diet plans, including diabetic and other therapeutic diets.
Amenities and services include resident parking, wheelchair accessibility, outdoor smoking areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, courtyards with a gazebo, and scenic mountain views. Residents can enjoy a game room, media room, piano, and monthly family-night activities, while a theater and a gym sit adjacent to the community. On-site religious services, walking paths, and scheduled transportation are also offered. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
