Commonwealth Senior Living at Front Royal provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care on the same campus, enabling residents to stay within one setting even as needs increase. The clinical team is equipped to manage residents who wander during the day or at night, are at risk for elopement, present behavioral concerns, remain awake overnight, use oxygen, follow special diets, live with diabetes managed by oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen, and adults under age 60 who need a higher level of support. Staff members are also trained to care for individuals with advanced dementia, ensuring consistent oversight as cognitive conditions progress.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site, and an on-call nurse is available around the clock. All employees receive background checks, and an awake night shift monitors door-alarmed exits while responding to pull-cord alerts at any hour. On-site podiatry helps reduce outside appointments. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs can receive standby, one-person, or two-person transfers, allowing them to remain mobile within the community. An activity director coordinates daily programming that is adapted for varying cognitive levels.
Apartments may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space, though not every unit includes every listed feature. Suites and apartments are wheelchair accessible, and maintenance is handled by the community. Independent Living residents have access to medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, weekly laundry, and a monthly meal plan while enjoying a more self-directed lifestyle.
Meals are served from a set menu with an on-order choice at each seating, and snacks are available throughout the day. The dining team can accommodate diet modifications, including those required for diabetes and other medical conditions, ensuring residents follow physician-ordered guidelines. Independent Living participants who opt for the meal plan eat in the same dining room, promoting social interaction and consistent nutritional oversight when desired.
Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for appointments and outings. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
