Bishop's Commons Celebrates Ten Year Anniversary

Ten years have passed since Bishop’s Commons opened its doors to seniors in the 
community 
promising to “provide the comforts of home without the worries” to all who resided at 
Oswego’s first assistive living residence.  Since March 2000, three hundred residents 
have come through the doors, making Bishop’s Commons their home, making new friends, and 
in many cases catching up with old ones.  

Since 2000 Bishop’s Commons has become one of a kind in Oswego County and a new choice 
for seniors who want to remain active and independent.  While offering a unique 
combination of attractive, affordable apartment homes and support services, Bishop’s 
Commons staff strives to go “above and beyond” with customer service keeping this a 
number one priority.  “It is important that our residents and their families know that 
we 
are here for them day in and day out whatever their need may be,” Senior Living 
Coordinator, Julie Chetney noted.  “It may a simple cup of coffee and pleasant 
conversation or a higher level of assistance with medications or personal care, our 
staff 
is here to improve overall quality of life.”  

Providing three meals each day, 24 hour staffing, scheduled transportation for 
recreation 
and medical appointments, activities and social opportunities, weekly laundry and linen 
service, and housekeeping are all included in a simple monthly rent.   Licensed home 
care 
agency; St. Luke Home Health Services provides additional expanded care at a reasonable 
rate.    

Bishop’s Commons is part of the St. Luke Health Services Campus conveniently located on 
a 
wooded, scenic hillside, overlooking the Oswego River and Falls.  If you are interested
