I want to commend the staff at the Commons recently for thier kindness, understanding, and patience in discussions with me around the care of my Mother. Mom is 89 years of age, relatively independent, clear minded, and entertaining the thought of transitioning to an assisted living facility in the EG area. Although I showed up unannounced for an initial visit, Karen Wood, the Director there was wonderful...she squeezed me in and gave me a thorough tour of facility, discussed the many amenities (which are wonderful) and showed me the apartments for the residents. The facility is beautiful. Its clean, well appointed, plenty of activities and staffed well...however, what really struck me was was the time that Karen took with me during my visit, the kindness she extended and wealth of information she shared. Subsequent phone calls have been helpful as well. We're still in the discovery process, but I am confident that if Mom decides the Commons is where she wants to be, she'll be in the best of hands.

Thank you to Jessica, Karen, Chef Michael, and so many others that we've met since Dad moved into The Commons. Everyone has been so kind, helpful, and welcoming. It's great peace of mind for our family to know that Dad has people around to help anytime, and the food is great! Dad's been getting involved in all of the activities, and we appreciate all the hard work that goes into planning these events for the residents. We are so grateful to have found The Commons!

My dad has been living at The Commons in Elk Grove for five years. He started in assisted living and transitioned to memory care over a year ago. Even though it is heartbreaking to see your loved one decline physically and mentally over time, I'm so thankful for the wonderful and caring staff at The Commons. Their friendly, knowledgeable and caring demeanor has made this health journey with my dad much easier to bear. We visit multiple times a week but it's so wonderful to know that, when we can't be there, he is safe and well cared for. Everyone at The Commons works hard to ensure my dad and our family have the best experience. Shout out to all of the caregiving staff, activities, and the kitchen for everything they do!!!

The Commons is one of the most incredible communities I have been a part of. My family and I had a loved one reside there; she was so well taken care of that we couldn't ask for anything better. The staff was on it with her medications, if we asked for help they came immediately, very frequent check ins, delicious food, so many amenities and activities, and all the genuine care and support you could ask for. Even coming back to say hi 1.5 years later after our loved one passed away, they still remember her and us. It's the most heartwarming community out there. I highly recommend The Commons over and over again.
