My mother has been living at The Commons since October 2025. I cant say enough how thankful I am she is being so well cared for. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful to her and myself for anything needed. Andrew was very helpful and patient with helping my wife and I get my mom set up and moved in. My mom had been moving around from memory care facilities and rehab centers for months and Andrew always made time for us when we had questions or concerns with her move. She is now there in Assisted Care and thriving in the community and no longer needs memory care. My mom enjoys daily activities and socializing with her new friends. Since last May I have seen a lot when it comes to elderly care and I would rate The Commons and the staff a 10 out 10.

My dear friend came to The Commons after a series of strokes last year. She had been hospitalized then in a Skilled Nursing facility. It made me cry to think that this was her future. When it came time to transfer to Assisted Living we looked at 8-10 places. The Commons made us both feel like family from day one! During our tour, as we passed staff in the hallways, they introduced themselves and welcomed us. My friend moved in days later and has made new friends and found an extended family. Other than making faces when she goes to exercise classes, she enjoys the local outings, live entertainment, movies and other events. Issues arise no matter where you go and the management makes great efforts to resolve them quickly. Committees are in place for larger issues that affect the whole community and they’ve made sure that residents are included on the committees. I would encourage everyone to make The Commons on Thornton the first AND LAST place they tour when looking at Senior and Assisted Living Communities!
