Signature Programs

24 Hour Nursing Care

At Sterling Commons, we have registered nurses or licensed nurses 24 hours and 7 days a week who are professionally trained to support residents with Assisted Living and Memory Care needs.

-Diabetic Management At Sterling Commons, we’re committed to helping our residents live healthier and enriched lives with diabetes. Our team of professional nurses and staff members are trained in diabetic protocol and are efficient in identifying and responding to diabetic reactions.

Support Groups

Living, loving and caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s, Dementia or other forms of memory loss is a unique challenge. We need the support of those who not only understand what we are experiencing, but can be a strong support through the journey. At Sterling Commons, our support groups offer family and friends the opportunity to meet and talk in a private and mutually supportive atmosphere. Often solutions come from others who are on the same journey at a different point in time. This community of care provides emotional support and continuing education. To ease your schedule, hourly care is provided for your loved one during your support group visit to our community. Please contact us to find out about support groups meeting at Sterling Commons.

Living Well

Our Personal Touch Care Program is a holistic approach aimed at maintaining Residents well­ being and self-worth, It is a program that encompasses all aspects of our resident care.

While many think of "Activities" as pre-planned group events, such as exercise, crafts and music events where almost everyone participates, we think of "Activity" as everything the resident does throughout the day weather planned or spontaneous. This includes our residents’ personal care, conversations with others and even time alone.

We spend a great deal of time assisting residents with personal care and the daily routines can become more meaningful when we are making sure we are using sensitivity and creativity to create the special Personal Care Moment.

My mother moved into Sterling Commons Memory Care Community. They've been really good. Mom said the food is really good. They have all kinds of activities, they have bingo, and they do crafts. It's expensive, but they're worth it. They take them on bus trips, keep them busy. They have patios.

I visited Sterling Commons Memory Care Community. It was very nice and very clean. I liked it, but the only problem was the price. We had scones, and they were excellent. The staff was very friendly.

My mother has been in Sterling Commons for a month and a half now. It is absolutely amazing. It is like a beautiful 5-star hotel. The staff is beautiful and very vigilant. They know what my mother is doing and can tell me if my mother hasn't been out of her room. Same thing with the nursing care. They keep me updated with my mother's hemorrhoids that we did not know she had. I haven't tried the food but it looks delicious. My mother is actually going to mass now, which she hasn't done before. She stays by herself but she is starting to come out and meet people. Everytime I go there, they're doing something with the residents, like playing cards, or there's music playing and people singing.

My father, who has dementia, has been living at Sterling Commons for about 2 years now. It's the perfect place for him. He feels secure and content there. The environment is warm and welcoming. It's a homey atmosphere. It's clean and comfortable. The food is great, and Dad gets to interact with the other residents during meal time. They even provide snacks a couple of times a day. The best part of Sterling Commons is the people who work there and help Dad. They're exceptional people who really care for the residents. Dad has all his needs met, from help with personal hygiene to prescription management, and he even gets his annual flu shots right on the premises. He enjoys the frequent entertainment and the twice weekly bus rides around the community. My family feels so grateful that he's in a place where he is so well taken care of.

My father was a resident at Sterling Commons from April 2016 until his peaceful passing December 2016. The staff were so caring and compassionate. I feel truly blessed to have found such a great facility with excellent quality of care. Each of the caregivers was wonderful with my father. Special Kudos to Deanna,

Sterling Commons is really nice. Everybody knows what is going on with their patients and can answer the questions. They have been very helpful and very quick in getting whatever needs to be done. They take them out on a bus a couple of times a week, and they have activities everyday like games, music, and arts. They can go indoors and outdoors as they pleased, and there is always somebody there to watch them, so it feels more to them like home than a hospital.

My wife has been in the Sterling Commons for just over a year. One of the hardest decisions I have ever made was to make this her home. She has, however, been very comfortable there and has received outstanding care. Like all places where you might leave the one you care most about, there have been, from time to time, issues regarding her care. The Director and staff have been very responsive to my concerns and have made moves to correct circumstances that did arise. I receive calls about her good days as well as other issues as they arise. Staffing levels were one of my major concerns and the administration is making moves to increase staff available for interaction with residents. I am a retired social worker with experience in working with the aging. I find the Sterling Commons a warm and supportive place with staff who care.

I cannot recommend Sterling Commons high enough. The facillity, caregivers, staff and administration all treated our family with love and respect. I only wish we had moved my Mother to this home years earlier.

Sterling Commons was really nice, and they are very accomodating. I used their day care and respite care. I was pleased with them; it’s just not cheap. Security was very good. All the wards are locked so that my mom won't escape.

Very beautiful facility. Sterling Commons is in a nice desert area and has lovely decor. I felt comfortable there because the staff was friendly and eager to answer my questions. There seemed to be several activities for the residents. This facility is for people who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease and the staff have really done an amazing job at creating ways to keep the residents entertained and active.The facility was clean and the residents seemed happy and content. I went around and tried to see as many people as I could and they all seemed to have high spirits and were participating in activities.Of course no place is going to be the same as home, but this would be a very nice place to live. When the time comes this facility is at the top of our list because of the caring staff and beautiful desert views.
