Memory Care Communities in East Longmeadow, MA

"Keystone Commons was a larger community, and it was clean. I think it would be something I would consider, but I really like the one that's locally here; that way my friend's stepfather, who's 95, and her brother could see her. I was guided around by the administrator. He was very, very knowledgeable and pleasant. I went to see assisted living, and they also showed me memory care and independent living."

"Stone Brook is a beautiful place! We have been very impressed with the apartments, the dining room and meals as well as the wonderful staff and employees! We especially would like to compliment the manner in which Stone Brook has managed to maintain excellent communication with families and care of the residents during the COVID 19 pandemic. As a Nurse and Daughter, I cannot say enough about the care and consideration Stone Brook has taken to ensure the health and safety of everyone who lives there. I would highly recommend Stone Brook to those who are looking. "

"Brookdale South Windsor was very nice and very clean and had a very friendly staff. The rooms were very nice and very adequate. "

"Wonderfully managed and equipped facility located in a scenic rural part of MA, yet close to any requirements or services an active older couple might wish for. It's also perfect for someone who's life style is more leisurely."

"Buckingham Heights was only dedicated exclusively to memory care so that they can address every need at every stage, whatever happens to your loved one who's got dementia. Suzanne assisted us with the tour and she was wonderful. She's been there a long time and can answer any question you have. The other shining star thing that I would say about the place was that they had a lot of staff who have been there for many years. They have relatively low turnover and there is a lot of staff. They have like a 5-year, 15-year, and 20-year club for those staff who have been there that long. The dining area looked very nice. The rooms were basic but pleasant. The idea there was not to spend all your time in your room. So, the room was just a place to dress and bathe and sleep. But the life of the place was based on keeping the residents engaged and active. When it comes to the activities, they are appropriate for people with memory issues. They have an inner courtyard that is freely available for residents to go into on their own. For the outside patios, you need to have somebody with you. Even their physical facilities were designed to give the most freedom and autonomy to their residents."

"It was a much bigger place and was more geared towards the younger folks that didn't need much assistance. At least that's what I got out of it. If you're younger, then it would suit you very well. It is large and a little bit intimidating. The staff members were very good. They were attentive and they answered our questions. We saw the dining area, which was very nice. We also talked to the chef; he was nice as well. They had a lot of great activities. They're more higher end activities and geared towards younger more mobile and more active folks. It was a really nice place but it was different. It was also huge."

"We will be moving into Avery Heights. The feeling we got walking in the front door was that it was an active, friendly place. Everybody was upbeat and walking around with smiles on. The staff was very friendly, outgoing, helpful, and very happy to be there doing programs with the actual residents. We had lunch with them, and it was okay. Everything was well kept. Everything looked like it had been maintained well. They have a fairly new pool on the ground floor and there are lots of other group activity rooms. There are plenty of places for people to be. I was very impressed with the rooms. We saw an older room that had not been through the rehab process yet. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There's plenty of square footage and a very nice balcony looking over a beautiful garden. There's great lighting in the room. It's a lovely space."

"Colebrook Village at Hebron offers 24-hour nursing care. I probably would have opted to go with this facility, because it's closer to us, but they didn't have any availability when we visited. We toured the memory care area and they were very kind, understanding, empathetic, and very welcoming. It was well-kept and very clean."

"I liked East Village Place very much and the lady that took us around was nice. The rooms were just too small because it would be for two people. It's a cozy place and it's well kept. They had an exercise room and a library. Everything was good."

"Ruth's House is a beautiful assisted living facility. It has both regular assisted living and also a secured section for patients with memory problems. The staff are very personable and friendly and there tends to be a very low staff turn over rate so residents see the same people daily. Ruth's House provides a wide variety of activities for the residents, everything from bus trips to a gym onsite with qualified instructors. Residents are encouraged to join in group activities. The meals are cooked on site and are kosher. Ruth's House is the middle of a trio of living arrangements offered by the Jewish Nursing Homes. A medical facility is right next door, with Doctors available 24/7 as well as RN's available on every shift. Rooms are single or double and the pricing is reasonable. Access for family and friends is easy and just requires a quick sign in. Comfortable rooms are available for visiting and the grounds are also beautiful. "

"Because Heritage Woods is cost effective for us, we decided on this community for my father. They seem effective for the cost that they were charging as opposed to some of the other possibilities. I didn't think any of the other facilities would have anything more to offer to warrant what they were charging. First off, I like best the fact that they gave us pretty much an open platform. They told us, 'Whatever you need, let me know and we'll make it happen,' and they have followed up with it. The staff there has been very, very gracious. I have not seen one person with a bad attitude yet. Right now my dad is in a shared room. There isn't another person in his room at the moment, but they may eventually be. However, not only does he have his own space for his bedroom and what-not, he's also got a little kitchenette. It is a shared kitchen area. He also has very spacious bedroom and bathroom. He can wheel his wheelchair directly into the bathroom and shower. My dad is also very pleased with the food. They also have some very fun activities like football for the guys, etc. Just recently, they had a concert there. My dad called me the other night and said, 'You know what? It doesn't get any better than this.' He is extremely happy with where he is right now. "

"We chose here because of their memory impairment component called Morning Star, and that's really what attracted me to it. The staff was outstanding, very caring and very attentive to my mom and to me and they made this experience so much easier for us. She is in a studio apartment by herself and it has a small window, a bed and a bath. The dining area and the food were excellent. She raves about how her day goes and her interaction with the other residents. She is improving considerably. I was impressed with them and how outstanding, Michelle, the marketing director is."

"We found The Arbors. It is close to home, so the travel is easy. We like that they had a lot of activities. They do cards, church services, and memory care activities although my mother is not involved in those. They also have a bus, and they bring their tenants to different activities outside the facility. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. The place is very nice and very clean, and they maintain it well. They have 3 entrées every sitting, and they have 2 sittings every day. The dining room is nice. "
