The Commons of Hilltop - Grand Junction, Colorado

It is unfortunate that most of the 1 star ratings on here are of personal reasons/beliefs and do not reflect the quality of care, life and facility. Please take those reviews as what they are, personal, and not a reflection of the actual facility, employees, management and care provided. My loved one has lived in the facility for over a year and it has been fantastic for her. Without having her name badge on, the caregivers know her by name and are genuine in their concern and interactions with her. I've seen the same interactions between the staff and other residents. The facility is very well taken care of, bright, easy to access and inviting to all. The food is good to excellent.

I feel comfortable and at ease that my loved one is living at The Commons. Her quality of life has greatly improved since moving in. I enjoy visiting her, she loves to have people come and visit her and dine with her. I have not had a negative interaction with any of the staff and I believe if I had management would address the issue.

Update late 2024:
My loved one was placed in hospice and eventually passed. While moving items out of the apartment before she passed many of the staff and residents stopped by to ask how she was doing. They shared stories and best wishes. Grateful for the time she spent here.

Rating a 3 due to the care from management and directors. The commons is an assisted living community only. From what I have experienced and seen they do very well on that side. If your family member is in need of memory care, please don’t subject them to that part of the commons. It is a locked unit with a small amount of help. The employees seem like they want to do a good job and care, but lack the support and staffing needed for that kind of care. The locked unit is not staffed for the needs of those residents and that’s not fair to them or the employees. I don’t have experience with the commons in the assisted living side and cannot comment on that side, but from the outside looking in on that there is more help and care. I am only reviewing the memory care experience.

My experience with The Commons goes back to 2013. First Mom became a resident, then Dad joined her there, and now it's just Dad since Mom's passing. The care that the residents receive is nothing short of amazing. The staff treats all of the residents with tremendous love, respect and compassion...it's more like a family than anything else.
The entire staff is always very helpful when you have problems or questions with your loved one. They work very hard and I appreciate everything that they do.

The facility is always kept clean and well maintained, inside and out. The vans used to transport the residents are kept in good running order, and the drivers keep their passengers safe and secure. During COVID19, management set up some very strict protocols which have kept the residents much safer and healthier than the general population.

The food in the Dining Room can be a little hit and miss at times, but in general it is good. Dad complains that "they serve too many green vegetables", which just proves that some kids never do grow up.

In general, I would say that if you are looking for a place where your loved one will be well taken care of, and where the staff really does have their best interest at heart, then you need to make a visit to The Commons.

I don't live here, I visit from time to time. It is very very clean. Great atmosphere. And oh my goodness the food is phenomenal. The fries ,are the best I have ever had in my life. I could only be so lucky to live here when the time comes. Everyone I came into contact with, was so nice, seemed to love their job. I guess looking at it it wasn't a job for them at all. They was just smiling, laughing like they was having fun. Great atmosphere from my prospective. Beautiful scenery as well. Flowers are very well taken care of . So very beautiful

Sometimes you have to share how amazing a team of people can be, when it comes to taking care of your most important things..your loved ones. My father-in-law is struggling with Alzheimer's and we are so grateful to have the most amazing group of people and facility to help us through this path life has taken us.

We have moved him through multiple facilities in the Grand Valley and The Commons outshines everyone of them. They are willing to help in any way they can. Thank you all for what you do every day and I would recommend The Commons to every family who has a family member who needs a place to live.

Our mother ended up at the Commons for final rehab from a fall at home, only for her and the family to realize that it was no longer wise for her to live on her own at age 94. The excellent care she was getting and the welcoming, friendly lifestyle here made it a clear choice. Being a very sociable person, she quickly made friends and enjoyed a variety of activities provided for residents.

After a year in assisted living, it was apparent that she was in need of some extra attention and specialized care that the memory care wing, Hope Harbor, could provide. Although she initially resisted the move, it turned into the best thing for her. The staff at Hope Harbor was very attentive and patient with her needs and requests and Mom (and we, her family) set a high standard. They were also excellent at communicating with our family about her physical and mental condition, and assisted us in establishing regular visits from family and friends, be they in person or electronically.

The facility is nicely decorated and always neat and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food options are many, giving residents choices at every meal for multiple menu items. We can highly recommend the Commons at Hilltop and its Hope Harbor wing to prospective residents and families searching for top notch assisted living.

My mother and father came to The Commons around 2016. My dad passed away in 2017. My mom is still there at the great age now of 101. The staff has been everything we could have hoped for. There are 4 children and we all live in different parts of the country. The team at the commons is compassionate, caring and patient. If you are trying to make a decision my bet is with this group to do a good job for you and your family. K Kohl.

I was a member of the care staff for the Commons for about a year and a half, and the residents were taken very good care of and enjoyed the accommodations and quality of living that they had there. I am still in contact with several residents and staff who love the community, it's activities, and it's care. There is a reason it won Best of the West for assisted livings this year. It deserves that title.
