The Commons at Elk Grove

Excellent assisted living

The room size is great, all staff are friendly and make you feel they really care for you. The care givers are very attentive abs go beyond their job to help you. The activities are wonderful with bingo 4 days a week, blackjack 3 times a week, and exercise classes 6 days a week

I really was impressed with the site. -The public areas were open, airy and not dark at all. -The One-bedroom apartment was spacious and well laid out. -The people were friendly and polite. -Activities, meals, are very good with lots of variety. - My dad, who is really the person who needed to decide if he liked the site or not, also liked the open airy feeling. -There were a few minor issues noted, but not enough to reject the site. - One issue was the access to the inner courtyard by several doors. None of…

It was very nice! I really liked it!!! However the room was small. We found another place that was less money and bigger rooms.

Do not recommend

The commons is not upfront about pricing. The continuously added charges that were not agreed upon. Also charged care fees when my mom was in the hospital for surgery and no longer lived there. I had to fight to get the fees removed. They are on the verge of fraud when it comes to erroneous charges.

The tour was excellent. The explanation was good, and covered nearly 100% of the checklist. I liked the building, the staff attituded, and the folks I met. The place is pet friendly. I think my mother-in-law would like it at The Commons. The only downside is that I now feel pressured to act immediately and place a deposit on a room when my father-in-law just died and my mother-in-law is not yet ready. This moved my rating down from a 5 to a 4.

The staff was very friendly and greeted us whenever they passed us. Didn’t see many residents, but those we did see seemed happy and friendly. It was a small community that felt cozy and easy to get around.
