Commonwealth Senior Living at the Ballentine provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need help with daily activities receive support while maintaining as much independence as possible. For individuals dealing with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, the community’s secure environment helps reduce risk and stress for families. Around-the-clock staffing means assistance is available at any hour, and short-term respite stays can be arranged when family caregivers need a break.

Clinical services are extensive. Licensed nurses oversee care plans that can include diabetes monitoring, medication management, and coordination with on-site physicians, podiatrists, speech therapists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. The building is laid out to meet the needs of those with memory loss, and staff are trained in incontinence and ambulatory care. Hospice support is available when required, ensuring continuity of care through the end of life.

Resident apartments vary, and not every unit includes every feature. Options may offer cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, or space for a favorite pet. Some suites are close to the community’s central fireplace or open onto landscaped outdoor areas. Parking is provided for residents who still drive, and a community piano or organ is available for casual use or planned programs.

Three meals a day are included, served restaurant-style, with an all-day dining menu for flexible scheduling. Vegetarian choices are available, and guests can join residents for meals. Staff monitor nutritional intake for those who need it and can adapt textures and portions as directed by clinical team members.

Recreational and social offerings include an activity center, clubs, and a library and computer lounge. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and regularly scheduled social outings encourage movement and engagement. Residents may take part in happy hour, yoga or chair yoga, sensory-based programs, intergenerational visits, birthday celebrations, live music events, and other organized gatherings designed to support physical and cognitive health.
