Commonwealth Senior Living at Christiansburg offers two primary levels of support: Assisted Living for residents who need help with daily activities and Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are also available, giving family caregivers temporary relief while ensuring their loved ones receive the same structured care as long-term residents. Both care types are backed by 24-hour staffing, so assistance is never far away.
Beyond basic care, the community maintains a secured environment designed to reduce wandering risks for Memory Care residents. On-site clinicians and contracted providers deliver a wide range of health services, including diabetes monitoring, medication coordination and management, incontinence and ambulatory care, hospice support, and regular visits from physicians, nurses, physical, occupational and speech therapists, optometrists and podiatrists. A nurse is on duty around the clock to coordinate care plans, and the secured setting adds an extra layer of safety.
Residences are available in studio and efficiency layouts, and most feature wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi and optional kitchenettes. Some apartments open to outdoor garden areas or walking paths, and select units are handicap accessible for easier mobility. Housekeeping, laundry and dry-cleaning services are provided, and pet-friendly policies mean residents may be able to bring a companion animal—though not every accommodation has all listed features, so prospective residents should confirm specific amenities during their tour. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Meals are prepared on site and offered three times daily in either a restaurant-style or family-style setting, with guest meals available for visiting friends and relatives. All-day dining ensures snacks and beverages are accessible between formal mealtimes, and specialized menus accommodate low- or no-sodium, no-sugar, kosher, vegetarian and other dietary preferences. A private dining room can be reserved for special occasions, supporting family gatherings without leaving the property.
Residents have access to a variety of structured and self-directed activities, including an activity center, game room, library and computer lounge, fitness center and indoor walking paths. The community schedules bingo, art classes, karaoke, live-well programs, holiday parties and social outings, along with sensory-based programs tailored for Memory Care residents. Clubs such as a walking club, resident musicians group and intergenerational programs with local schools foster social engagement, while off-site trips extend recreational opportunities into the wider Christiansburg area.
