Commonwealth Senior Living At Hillsville is a community where people aged 55 and over can get different kinds of care, all in one place, so someone can move in while still living independently and stay as their needs change, with assisted living, memory care, nursing care, rehabilitation, and short-term respite stays offered. There's a dedicated memory care area called Sweet Memories™ that's built to help folks living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, and the staff uses things like bracelets and a computerized system to keep everyone safe from wandering, which is an important thing for families to know. People get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and managing medications, and care plans are personalized, which means each person gets the level of help that fits them best, from light to heavy care, and if someone needs two-person support or special lifts to move around, the staff can handle that too. There are private and semi-private rooms, including choices with private baths, and climate controls in every room, plus an elegant brick hearth and common spaces that make the place feel homey, with features like a landscaped garden, a patio, living rooms, a courtyard, a gazebo, and plenty of places to sit indoors and out.
Meals come with different options, including farm-to-table dining, special diets like kosher and vegetarian, and an emphasis on nutrition, and dishes can range from soups and salads to maple glazed salmon or beef tips, so there's variety. You'll see weekly housekeeping and linen services, transportation for appointments or outings, companion living suites, and people can bring their cats or dogs under 25 pounds. Activities are planned daily by a full-time director, including programs like SingFit music therapy and Travel the World, and there are both on-site and community trips, plus social and educational events to keep everyone engaged.
Commonwealth Senior Living At Hillsville works with resource networks and manages a large library of guides, articles, and helpful information about caregiving and aging, tapping into sources like VirginiaNavigator and SeniorNavigator, so there's support for just about any need, including information on disability, veterans, long-term care, or technology. The staff, including nurses and therapy specialists, is available around the clock for emergencies or regular help, and if someone needs physical, occupational, or speech therapy, those services can be arranged. The Sweet Memories program in memory care aims to keep people safe and reduce confusion, and the facility can also work with residents who have difficult or sometimes unusual behaviors. Families can count on secure entry and a wander alert system for safety. Rooms run around $6,070 for studios and $5,064 for semi-private options, and there are both short-term stay and long-term care choices. All together, the community tries to offer ways for people to stay comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible while getting the different types of care and activities that might be needed as time goes by.
