Commonwealth Senior Living at Farnham offers assisted living with clinical protocols that cover a wide range of health needs. The team is prepared for residents who wander or present elopement or behavioral issues, as well as those who stay up all night. Advanced dementia is accepted, and the staff can manage wound care, oxygen use, and specialized diets. Adults under 60 and residents with diabetes—whether on oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen—are welcome. Medical oversight extends to podiatry visits on-site, and the community is open to individuals with psychiatric diagnoses.
Nursing coverage is available around the clock, with an RN or LPN on duty and an awake night shift. Background-checked caregivers respond to pull cords and personal emergency response systems, and door alarms and a fenced rear area add another layer of security. Assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting can be provided at the full-assist level. Transfer help ranges from standby with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift support for bed-bound residents, so mobility changes can be accommodated without a move.
Residences vary in layout; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable access. Residents may paint or decorate their rooms to their liking, but not every unit has each feature, so confirming details during a tour is recommended.
Meals are served three times daily in a communal dining room. Residents may choose from a set menu or order off menu, and snacks are available between meals. The kitchen can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diet modifications or personal preferences.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, library, bistro, spa tub, TV lounge, great room, activity rooms, communal gardens, patios for assisted living and memory care, and a covered balcony. Memory care residents benefit from secured courtyards, calming rooms, LifeStations, and the “Sweet Memories” program supported by Smile* technology and a family portal. On-site religious services, a private dining room for family gatherings, companion suites, shared baths in select units, housekeeping, linen service, personal laundry for an added fee, holistic therapy options, and regular transportation are also available. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
