Toured the campus this morning and the staff and leadership team were so friendly and welcoming. The property and grounds look amazing. We are planning on moving family into Independent living very soon.

My Husband and myself have been residents in the Commons of Providence Independent Living Villas for almost one year. The warm reception from the Administration and the Residents have absolutely been wonderful. They treat us like we are family. We recently held a family reunion in the Community Room. A family member had a medical emergency. The Nurses Angel Wadsworth and Dawn Leigh promptly responded & took action until EMS arrived. My entire family was so impressed and thankful for their outstanding care & professionalism. We are so happy we have joined the Commons of Providence Community.
