Commonwealth Senior Living at Charlottesville offers an assisted-living program designed to meet daily support needs while encouraging as much independence as possible. Licensed nurses and caregivers are on duty around the clock, and residents have access to on-site physician visits, ongoing diabetes management, and scheduled physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Short-term respite stays can be arranged when space is available, giving family caregivers a break or providing residents with a trial period to experience the community’s services.

Additional care features focus on safety, specialized support, and engagement. The campus is a secured community, helping protect residents who may be at risk of wandering, and it includes an enclosed courtyard for supervised outdoor time. Staff members provide medication management, incontinence care, and assistance with mobility for ambulatory residents. Hospice services are coordinated for end-of-life care, and brain fitness technology and pet-focused programs round out the wellness offerings.

Apartments and common areas are built for accessibility and convenience, with options such as wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, in-unit washers and dryers, individual climate control, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi. Select floor plans include balconies, patios, or decks, and many overlook landscaped grounds, outdoor walking paths, and gardens. Residents have use of indoor lounges, a computer/media center, and on-site parking. Not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific amenities during a tour.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served throughout the day, allowing residents to dine on their own schedule. The culinary team offers standard menus as well as kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar options. Family-style dining encourages social interaction at lunch and dinner, while guest meals let visitors share the experience. Snacks and beverages are available between meals to support individual nutrition plans.

Residents can stay active and social with an on-site activity center, game room, library and computer lounge, and dedicated art and crafts spaces. Scheduled programming includes fitness classes, clubs, art workshops, happy hours, birthday celebrations, and outings to local attractions. Both on-site and off-site activities are planned to give residents regular opportunities for engagement and community involvement.
