Assisted Living Communities in Pittsfield, MA

"Laurel Lake seemed very nice. It is an assisted living facility and they seem very flexible. He can go there for a week or two weeks, if my father wants to come up and visit, which is great. He doesn't need assisted living yet, he just needs independent living, and they were willing to look into that too. So I was very impressed by their ability to be flexible. The rooms were small but well-maintained. The staff gave me a very nice tour and they were very welcoming and also very willing to make any kind of accommodations necessary. "

"My family has been treated so well as we transitioned my father with dementia into the assisted living memory unit at The Landing in Lee. They took the time to come and visit us and my father at the hospital a few times to help guide us and get to know all of us at a very stressful time in our lives. The facility is nice, and the staff and administrators are-always helpful. Questions and phone or text messages are answered very quickly which puts our minds at ease. Dad has adjusted well and is being well taken care of. He is respected and loved there. We would definitely recommend this facility to others when asked."

"My mom was in Camphill Ghent for a while and she was in the assisted living. She stayed there for about 2 years. Overall, it's probably the best place in the world to go. The food is as organic as possible. It's phenomenal. That's where I wanna go when I get sick or old. The staff is friendly, warm, kind, knowledgeable and everything you would want. They're brand new, they're only like 5 years old. And it was also built in a farm field, so they have ponds, ducks, trees, and deer, and everything is environmentally friendly. Everything is organic, they don't even have wi-fi. They have internet, but it's on wires on the ground, so even for people who are sensitive to like signals and that kind of stuff. They have all sorts of art classes, pottery, woodworking, people come in and play music once a week, and they go on tours."

"The staff here is always extremely friendly. We were looking for a home that dealt specifically with Alzheimer's care for my grandfather, who has progressed beyond the point of us being able to care for him. I was initially impressed with the look of the facilities; it looked more like a nice hotel or apartment complex than a retirement home and assisted living facility. Their Alzheimer's care units are among some of the best I have ever heard from; they have a layout with allows for those afflicted with the disease to easily navigate the building, with a small suite being a private space, which adjoins with a shared area/kitchen. I spoke with some of the residents there, who all said they were extremely happy with the care, the staff, and the community. It is also right next to the town library, which is really great. My grandfather seems to be happier here than I could have thought given the circumstances, and we are grateful to have an option like that in the area. "

"We chose Ghent Assisted Living for my friend because it was closest to where she lived so her friends could visit. We've also known about this assisted living for many years and it looked like a decent place so that's why we said she would go there. She moved in last month and she's in assisted living. She seems to be doing well and I think her medical care has improved since she went there. All of her doctors are saying that she's doing better. She's not completely happy, of course, because she wants to be home but she understands that's not possible right now. For the most part, they're taking good care of her. The staff seems to be nice, my friend says they are very nice to her. I've had dealings with them too because I go and visit sometimes and they all seem to be helpful. I don't have any complaints there. She says that the meals are good although sometimes they're not that great. They have activities but she doesn't participate in them, unfortunately. They have an activity department and they do things but I don't think she's interested in that. The place could do some updating as it's a little old-looking. It's hard to tell because it's winter but they seem to have some patios and stuff outside. Of course, nobody can go out there right now."

"Staff is very professional and caring. Always checking in on me. Make me feel safe and special."

"Terrace At Eddy Memorial was very pleasant. It was not as up-to-date as the other place. It was a little outdated, but it was certainly clean enough. The room was bigger. The lady that I dealt there with was excellent."

"The Linda Manor is a really good place. When we first brought my father in, he was in a very severe condition, but they really helped him. Dad loves it there. He does exercises with the other residents. He loves his own apartment, and it looks pretty good. The food is also really good. The staff is incredible; they treat him very well. The price is also very good. Dad has really good friends there. They have bingo, music, and people coming in to play the piano."
