SouthWest Commons by New Perspective is a licensed senior living community that's been around for more than 15 years, offering various types of care all on one campus so residents can stay as their needs change. The community has options for independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and on-site skilled nursing care for folks who need more help. The staff is trained and friendly, providing help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, meals, medication, and incontinence care, and there's always someone available thanks to a 24-hour call system and nurse support around the clock. The memory care areas are specialized to support dignity, connection, and joy for residents with memory loss, and there are sensory-based programs plus a cognitive learning center. Residents enjoy spacious and pet-friendly apartments, regular housekeeping and laundry, and chef-prepared meals made from scratch-some days you'll find homemade chili, Buckeye desserts, hot chocolate, and other homey foods in the shared dining room.
Activities fill the days, with a Life Engagement Manager and resident-run clubs to help everyone stay active, social, and engaged at different ability levels, whether that means gardening, arts, music, fitness, happy hours, movie nights, or outings on the community shuttle to parks, museums, and local landmarks like the Freedom Trail or a big arboretum filled with blossoms. There are rooms for fitness, games like pool or darts, art, and reading, along with a garden patio for coffee and relaxing outside. Special events mark holidays like the Fourth of July and Veterans Day, and volunteer programs bring neighbors together.
The campus offers on-site physical and occupational therapy and works with Curana Health for regular healthcare check-ups, vaccinations, screenings, and medication management, plus full support for those with non-ambulatory needs or diabetes. Residents choose from care levels that fit their lifestyle, whether they're active and want a maintenance-free home, need help with some daily activities, or require memory care with a secure setting and specialized therapy. The community is known for a caring staff culture, nutritious meals using quality brands, and a variety of activities and events that honor residents' backgrounds and interests, all in a welcoming place that values health, happiness, safety, independence, and privacy.
