What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lee

Lee, Massachusetts, is a mountain town centrally located in scenic Berkshire County, an area famous for attractions such as the Berkshire Botanical Garden and the Norman Rockwell Museum. Seniors can choose from two assisted living facilities (ALFs) in Lee and another nine in the surrounding area. The state of Massachusetts defines these facilities as residential settings for seniors that offer services such as 24-hour supervision, medication management and assistance with daily living. ALFs are licensed and regulated by the Massachusetts Office of Elder Affairs.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lee

  • The winters are cold in Lee, with an average low of 12 degrees in January and 59 inches of heavy snowfall, which is over twice as much as the national average. This may cause difficulties for seniors with limited mobility, but with warm summers that have an average high of 80 degrees in July, and lush scenery, seniors may be willing to brave the cold. 

  • The crime rate in Lee is a little higher than U.S. averages, which may make seniors and their loved ones feel slightly unsafe. Violent crime is rated at 44.2 out of 100 (1 being the safest), which is higher than the national average of 31.1. Property crime is rated at 43, which is slightly higher than the national average of 38.1.

  • This down-to-earth Berkshire town offers classic New England living. Seniors in Lee can fish, swim or comb the shores of Sandy Beach at Laurel Lake. Some might enjoy visiting the historic Morgan House Inn which has been serving up lunch since the 1850s.   

  • The Lee area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Berkshire Medical Center in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 

  • Lee is located in Berkshire County, which is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.

  • The American Lung Association gave Berkshire County a fantastic Particle Pollution-24 hour score of A. Seniors with asthma or a respiratory illness may fare better here than in more polluted areas.
