Welcome to Commonwealth Senior Living at Abingdon — A Place to Call Home
Set in the scenic hills of Abingdon, Virginia and tucked just off the Virginia Creeper Trail, Commonwealth Senior Living at Abingdon offers more than just care — it offers connection, comfort, and a warm community where every detail is designed to feel like home. With 24-hour onsite support, thoughtfully designed living spaces, and programs that foster joy, purpose, and social engagement, it’s a place where residents thrive at every stage of life.
Comfort-Centered Living with Personalized Support
At the heart of the community lies a commitment to dignity, respect, and individualized care. Whether you opt for Assisted Living, Memory Care through the community’s signature Sweet Memories™ program, or a Short-Term Respite Stay, you’ll find a tailored lifestyle that adapts to changing needs — not the other way around.
Assisted Living: Independence With Support and Ease
Assisted Living at Abingdon is designed for those who value freedom, but appreciate help when needed. Residents get support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility — while still maintaining privacy and autonomy. Suites are private or companion-style, letting couples stay together if desired. Importantly: when health or mobility needs change, the care scales up — and residents don’t need to move to a new building.
Residents enjoy a robust schedule of services and comforts including:
- Daily help with daily living tasks as needed, and medication management by trained staff on site 24/7.
- Scheduled transportation for appointments, errands, and local outings, helping residents stay connected to the community around Abingdon.
- Restaurant-style dining rooted in fresh, local ingredients — from farm-to-table produce to seaside-inspired dishes — all informed by a Registered Dietitian and resident feedback.
- Routine housekeeping and linen service, so residents can spend time on what matters to them rather than chores.
- A full calendar of social, creative, and wellness activities like fitness classes, art, music, and outings — including signature programming that brings the world to you through experiences beyond the day-to-day.
Memory Care — Safety, Connection & Comfort Through Sweet Memories™
For residents living with dementia or Alzheimer’s, the Sweet Memories™ neighborhood offers a secure, comforting environment where care emphasizes dignity, familiarity, and meaningful moments. Thoughtful design, calm common areas, and caregivers trained in memory care help make daily life gentle and stable — while routines and personalized care plans bring structure and peace of mind.
Short-Term Respite & Transitional Stays
Whether adjusting after a hospital stay or exploring senior living for the first time, short-term stays offer a flexible, fully-supported way to experience community living without a long-term commitment. You or your loved one can enjoy all the comforts, care, and social connection of full-time residents — just temporarily.
Home-Like Suites and a Setting That Feels Like Community
Suites at Abingdon come unfurnished — giving residents the freedom to bring familiar furniture, keepsakes, and decorations. This helps make each unit feel truly like home. Floor plans range from cozy companion suites to spacious one-bedroom apartments, offering flexibility depending on your preferences and lifestyle. The ability to bring pets (cats or dogs under 25 lbs, subject to restrictions) adds another layer of personalized comfort for pet lovers.
Surrounded by natural beauty and within easy reach of downtown Abingdon, the community offers the rare blend of peaceful, scenic living combined with small-town charm. Residents appreciate easy access to local medical services, everyday conveniences, and cultural outings — all while returning to a welcoming, well-maintained home base.
Enriching Everyday Life — More Than Care
Life here is about more than meals and care routines. It’s about connection, enrichment, and meaningful living:
- Engaging Social & Cultural Activities: Daily group activities such as fitness, creative arts, music, and social clubs help residents stay active — physically, mentally, and socially. Signature programs like “Travel the World” bring global cultures to Abingdon through themed meals, music, games, and cultural experiences.
- Safety, Security & Peace of Mind: The community has secured entries, well-lit common areas, and an emergency call system in each suite. With caregivers on-site 24/7, residents receive dependable support whenever they need it.
- Familiarity & Stability: For Memory Care residents, routines and consistency with staff and surroundings bring a sense of security. For Assisted Living residents, the option to “age in place” means your home remains the same even if care needs change.
