Commonwealth Senior Living at Eastern Shore offers three distinct levels of care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—so residents can enter the community with the right amount of support and transition to higher levels as needs change. Licensed staff members monitor health status, coordinate physician orders, and are trained to manage complex conditions such as advanced dementia, wandering behaviors both day and night, oxygen use, and diabetes requiring oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Younger adults who need care are also accepted, providing an option for residents under 60 who meet admission criteria.
Additional medical resources are available on-site to reduce the need for outside appointments. Nurses handle medication management, incontinence care, and routine health monitoring, while occupational, physical, and podiatry services are scheduled in the building. Hospice partners are welcomed when appropriate. For daily activities of living, caregivers provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus standby supervision during meals. Residents who walk with a cane or walker, rely on a wheelchair, or simply need one-person standby support for transfers receive regular help according to individualized care plans.
Apartments range from studios to larger layouts and may include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should verify current availability. Scheduled laundry service is offered for all care levels. Independent Living occupants also receive routine housekeeping, allowing them to maintain an active lifestyle without daily chores.
Meals follow a set menu designed to meet nutritional guidelines, and snacks are available between scheduled dining periods. Staff can offer standby supervision during meals for anyone who needs prompts or mild assistance, ensuring dietary plans are followed consistently.
Residents find practical conveniences such as on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, and regular religious services. Concierge support helps with scheduling transportation, maintenance requests, or activity sign-ups. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
