Commonwealth Senior Living at South Boston offers two levels of residential support: Assisted Living for individuals who benefit from help with daily activities and Memory Care for residents managing Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Both programs can coordinate diabetes management, arrange short-term respite stays, and schedule doctor visits on-site, ensuring continuity of medical oversight. Speech therapy services are available for residents who need help maintaining or improving communication and swallowing skills.
Additional clinical and personal care features are delivered in-house, reducing the need for disruptive off-site appointments. Residents have access to medication coordination and management, continence support, and structured ambulatory care. Occupational and physical therapists provide goal-oriented rehabilitation, and staff trained exclusively for cognitive support oversee the Memory Care neighborhood. Regular laundry and dry-cleaning services, along with routine housekeeping, are built into the care plan to keep personal environments clean and safe.
Private and companion studio apartments are available, each with individual climate control, basic cable or satellite service, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Some residences include views of outdoor gardens, while others are closer to indoor common areas; not every unit features the same layout or amenities. Pets are welcome in designated areas, and residents have convenient parking for personal vehicles. Housekeeping, linen service, and scheduled maintenance are provided, but specific inclusions vary by apartment type.
Dining centers on a choice-driven program that combines restaurant-style table service with occasional family-style meals for a more casual atmosphere. Menus are planned to offer low-sodium and no-sugar options, with snacks and beverages available throughout the day. Trained staff monitor dietary needs and can coordinate specialized meal plans when ordered by a physician.
Residents can take advantage of an activity center for group programs, arts and crafts workshops, and clubs that foster peer connections. The community hosts birthday celebrations, organizes off-site social outings, and maintains indoor walking paths for safer exercise during poor weather. A library and computer lounge support quiet study or internet use, while planned social events encourage ongoing engagement with neighbors and the broader South Boston area.
