Had the tour with [name removed] at the Commons. She was very friendly and informative. No high pressure sales like some others.

Review for The Commons

The staff were friendly, helpful and encouraging. The other residents were warm and welcoming. It was clean and well maintained. It is super convenient. They have a shuttle for doctor's appointments. They do several social things every month. It is independent living, so food is not included, but is available. My dad didn't order it, but the menu looked great. I highly recommend it. It was a great place for my dad and very reasonably priced.

Wonderful experience

Not just staff but residents are very friendly. This is an independent living community. They offering transportation to appointments, but my father didn't use them. [name removed] was wonderful! They offer a lunch service for a few, but my father did not use this service. They have several social events and the people were all friendly. A great option for the money.

I thought the value to cost was excellent. I would highly recommend it.

Overall experience was great! [name removed] was great to work with and dad was so looking forward to getting involved with the activities and meeting the other residents.

No care as it is independent living. They offer lunch but dad didn't opt in to it. Activities were available and many seemed well attended. Dad was looking fo
