The Commons on Thornton

We went to The Commons on Thornton. It was beautiful, actually. It was really nice, and the people looked so kind and so helpful. If I were to pick a place, that's where we would have put my aunt. We just decided not to, but it was very nice, very clean, and when we walked in we just felt good. The residents were happy, they were walking around, and it was just very welcoming. Even when I walked by rooms, people had their doors open, they were very friendly, and they enjoyed walking up for me to see a furnished place. It reminded me of a cruise: people come out of their rooms, they all meet, they play cards, but it was kind of distant because of COVID. But people were just enjoying themselves and were happy.

My tour at The Commons on Thornton was very informative. They went over everything as far as what they had to offer and the prices. The person who gave us the tour answered all our questions. They also told me about all the activities and amenities that they had.

The Commons on Thornton was beautiful. I wish I could live there myself. They have everything. The rooms were very nice and well sized. The staff was very welcoming. The dining area was like a restaurant. I felt like I was on a cruise ship. It seemed like 4-star dining, and you could go in between mealtimes and get food. There were residents playing cards in one of the common areas. It's like a little community.

We chose The Commons on Thornton for my father. We're waiting for his doctor to release his medical records, and then he'll be moving in after that. We were very impressed with it. The residents themselves seemed very happy and engaged. The staff was very friendly. It was very clean and very organized, so we were very, very happy with what we saw. We did not try any food because of COVID, but we could smell it, and it smelled delicious, so I think it's probably good. They have several activities. They have some of the things that they do normally have that they have rolled out throughout the year that they're not able to do that right now because of the COVID, but they do have an exercise class going one day. We've visited three times, so one day they were having an exercise class and everybody was spaced out more than six feet away. They have a library so there were people in the library and some were reading, some were at a computer, and a few were playing cards. There's like a café, so there were people in the café. They were enjoying a cup of coffee or whatever, then they had residents and staff together, so that was nice to see. He's in assisted living, so it'll be a studio apartment. They come in I believe it's once a week, they clean it, and they do their laundry for them. Food and drink is available 24-hours, the meals are three times a day, but they do have snacks available. In my opinion, the three times that I was there it was very clean, the layout is nice, it's not confusing. They don't have like special events or anything right now, but if they're on a normal day when there's no COVID it's very engaging with the residents. Even just walking the house, the people group them by name, and were very friendly, so you could tell they engage with them. They don't have all the things that they would normally have. They have what they can right now.
