Grace Commons offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Residents who wander—whether during the day or overnight—are monitored, and the team is trained to manage elopement risks and behavioral issues that accompany various dementia stages, including advanced conditions. Clinical support covers wound care, oxygen therapy and individualized meal planning for special diets. The community also accepts younger adults, diabetics using oral medication or insulin (including sliding‐scale dosing) and people who need close observation throughout the night.
Direct care is reinforced by licensed nurses on staff, regular background checks for all employees and an awake night shift. Pull cords, a personal emergency response system and alarmed doors supplement 24-hour staffing, while a fenced courtyard adds another layer of security. Full assistance is offered with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and all transfer needs are supported—from standby help with a walker to Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound residents. On-site podiatry services are available, and the community can accommodate residents with psychiatric needs.
Apartment choices vary; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnishings, independent temperature controls, basic cable and the option to paint or decorate the space. Not every unit has every feature, so it is best to confirm specific layouts during a tour. Independent Living residents receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to age in place without losing autonomy.
Meals follow a set menu with snacks available throughout the day, and the dining team can modify textures or ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets, including diabetic and low-sodium requirements. Staff members provide hands-on assistance at mealtimes when needed to ensure nutritional goals are met.
Grace Commons offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access, an exercise room, a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens and on-site religious services. Transportation is provided, and public transit stops are nearby for added convenience. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
