"I was at Bear Mountain at West Springfield. It's a nursing home, but they do have rehab. I was there for maybe nine-and-a-half weeks at two different back-to-back admissions. The staff was excellent and the food was excellent. They provided three meals and snacks. I was mostly in my room, but I knew that they had activities every day. From what I could see, they were very good. Everything was excellent."

"My father was at Mont Marie for rehab. Their nurses were fabulous and overworked. I think there weren't enough of them, although it was COVID. I was only inside once, but the nurses were wonderful. Every time I spoke to them on the phone, they were just overworked. The administration and the social worker were noncommunicative. My father arrived there and I didn't even get a phone call; I had to call them. Just the communication was terrible. I think the food was fine; my father never complained. There were activities, and he painted a trivet. The care he got was very good; it's the communication that was very bad. I loved the care, but I didn't like the communication. The building itself was mediocre. It's a shared bathroom for two rooms with two people in each room, but everything was clean."

"My dad was at Mary's Meadow at Providence Place. They were great. The staff was awesome with my dad. I have no complaints whatsoever. It was great. It was helpful. Dad had a great time there. The staff was friendly. I work in customer service, and it's one of the best customer service that I've had. Everybody was answering any issues, and everybody was always pleasant in a timely fashion and would return calls. So it was nice. My dad was in a private room. He participated in activities, so they were good. I know there's church on Sundays and there's physical therapy. There were a lot of different activities. The people received a calendar of activities."

"My mother stayed at RegalCare at Holyoke for one day. It was good. The place wasn't as clean, but the staff was great. They are very caring. The room wasn't the greatest, but it was nice. The building is older, but it was a nice place. They did physical therapy with my mother."

"We're very pleased with Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing. I liked the whole community, the surroundings, and the care of the grounds and the facilities. Just very professional, very welcoming, updated. My mother is going into an independent apartment. It's being renovated, but from what I saw they looked wonderful, updated, clean, and bright. The dining area was welcoming, just lovely, and inviting. They have exercise, entertainment, a walking trail, and a recreation area. And I know they have yoga classes and fitness classes, special event parties, and holiday sort of celebrations. There was a lovely library that was well stocked and a beautiful cafe that's outside the dining area, so that visitors coming in could engage with the cafe."

"The staff was nice and helpful at all times, they took very good care of my aunt, Wingate's are one of the cleanest nursing home I've been in, I work has a EMT and go into a lot of different Nursing homes and you can tell which are good or bad. I give the Wingate a high rating and would place another family member in if I had to. Most nursing homes have a smell to them when you walk in but you don't get that with most Wingate nursing homes. this one is def on my top 5 nursing home to put family members into. "

"I have had many experiences with loved ones in a skilled nursing facility. Heritage Hall West by far has been the best! My Brother in law was a patient there very recently and the care and attention he received was top notch! The staff, including the Executive Director were on top of and in most cases ahead of everything at all times. I knew each day after a visit that I could leave there feeling confident that he was in very capable hands! The facility was spic and span and the caregivers were very friendly. He received Physical therapy as well as Occupational, and Respiratory therapy. The Therapy team was extremely thorough and made him feel like he was the only patient they had. Great place and the only one I would go to if need be. A+++++++"

"My grandmother is actually in Heritage Hall South. She has been there for about a month now. This is our choice of a nursing home because they care about their patients. They actually take one-on-one with them. The staff is great. They talk to my grandmother. They did everything that she has asked them to do. Their service is excellent. I would recommend this place.

"Heritage Hall East was, overall, a clean and well-run nursing home where my grandmother lived after having a series of strokes and the death of my grandfather, who had been her primary caretaker to that point. She lived in Heritage for 5 years before passing away, and my family found the staff there kind, courteous, and efficient people who truly cared about their residents' needs. Medically, my grandmother was provided for in every way, from her three-times-daily pills, to making sure she had regular showers and clean clothes, to helping her walk and, once she couldn't anymore, helping her get around via wheelchair. She had a pleasant, joking relationship with one of her primary nurses, and they developed a friendship I would call very appropriate: Gary would get my mother down to the dining room early so she could get her favorite seat; he'd remember her bingo winnings for her (because she couldn't keep track of which drawer or purse she'd put them most of the time); he would stop by often just to chat, but made sure his time with my grandmother never interfered with his general duties or obligations to other patients. My mother and her brothers were frequent (1-2 times weekly) visitors, and the staff was always friendly to them, would give my mother brief updates on my grandmother when they passed her in the hallway as well as be available upon request for more in-depth consultations. The facility was always clean and mostly always quiet (various residents had hearing problems and would turn their TV too loud, for example). It was a good experience for my grandmother, and comforting for my family, as we felt she was in a safe, pleasant facility with competent, friendly staff. "

"Going to see a family member in a facility is extremely difficult as it is so knowing they're being taken care of is extremely important. When I first walked into the facility I felt a warm happy feeling. There was a receptionist greeting people as they entered and was there to help people if need be. There was hot coffee made and a cat roaming in the lobby. The lobby has couches which makes it feel like a living room at home. I think this was a great touch so if family members are up to it they can visit in an environment that is comfortable rather than seeing them in a bed looking ill. I asked about the cat and was told they keep the cat for the guests as a feeling of home and not a hospital like setting. When I met with the staff that was caring for my family member they were very sweet and gentle with him. They were patient and caring. Ive been to others that were very business like with no personalities, they were completely different. They seem to all know eachother which is nice. He ended up passing away and the people were extremely sympathetic and expressed how it was an honor to know and care for him. Very touching. "

"My grandmother was at this facility initially for short term rehab. The nursing staff was pleasant most of the time and the physical therapist was phenomenal but overall we had a very bad experience. For the 3 months she was there we made multiple phone calls on a weekly basis trying to talk the overseeing physician- not once was our call returned even when we begged to speak to her. We never met her or even talked to her once during my grandmother's stay despite all our efforts. Additionally we also had much difficulty discussing her care with the advanced providers who didn't seem to make time to talk with us. She was transitioned to long-term care and a week later her health rapidly declined. During the transition to long-term care which was the last week of her life she did not have a phone as there was a problem with the connection in the room when she moved despite us paying for the service- no one helped her; my father had to figure it out. We went to visit her and she was crying she was so lonely. The worst experience we had was the day before she died. We went to visit her and it was evident she was rapidly declining. We asked to speak to the PA and we waited for ~3 hours before she came to see us. Instead of having a family meeting given the obvious change in circumstances, she spoke with us for less than 10 minutes. We asked about hospice care as my grandmother was clearly uncomfortable. She said she could start arranging it on Monday (it was a Friday) but that they wouldn't do much differently. My grandmother was struggling to breathe and was in obvious pain. We asked for her to be transitioned to a liquid diet as she couldn't swallow her food. As the PA walked out the door, my father asked how much longer she thought my grandmother would live as my mother was planning to travel that weekend and was wondering if she should cancel these plans. The PA told my father her hydration status was good and at least 2 weeks - as a healthcare provider myself I knew this simply was not correct, aside from the fact that you can never truly predict the day or hour and it is irresponsible to tell families otherwise. My grandfather went to visit her Friday evening and was distraught as they still brought her solid food; when he asked for a liquid diet he was told by the nursing staff they would get to it; it had not arrived by the time he left. The next day Saturday afternoon my grandfather went to visit my grandma. He found her unresponsive, notified the nurse and discovered she had passed. He was by himself, there was no hospice, my mother was traveling. It was a horrific experience and the epitome of poor patient and family care. This facility may be good for very short rehab that doesn't require medical decision making as the physical therapist was excellent. But not for any complex medical conditions, long term care, elder care or hospice. Overall we were extremely disappointed."

"My mother is settled in at Jewish Nursing Home of Western Mass. It takes a while to get somebody to come and help her if my dad pushes the button to call for help with getting her to the bathroom or into bed. It can take a long time before anybody comes. Other than that, the staff is very pleasant, and very helpful. The place is really bright and clean, and I like that about it. It doesn't look like a hospital like most nursing homes do. The care is good when she gets it, it's just that sometimes it takes a long time to get some help, but that's all. I think they need more staff members, but the staff members themselves are very nice. The food isn't much. My mother has participated in a couple of their activities, which is good."

"The facilities were well landscaped, the front office employees were always pleasant. The nurses and care assistants weren't so friendly, and often (despite labeling my neighbor's clothes with her name) socks, undergarments, and clothing would go to the laundry and were never returned. I will say this-we visited during lunch once and soon afterwards one of the activities employees had a "tea party" complete with hats for the ladies and nice attire for the men. This woman seemed very attentive and brought out smiles in even the most unresponsive residents. The facility was very secure, complete with locked doors and a proper check-in system. The parking lot was at an angle, so I imagine this would be quite difficult for residents or visitors in wheelchairs to handle. The food appeared sufficient, many patients deemed "flight-risks" were equipped with monitors that would beep if they were outside appropriate boundaries. Ultimately, I feel this was a decent facility but the care staff should be brought up to a higher standard. "

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Both in-home care and home health care are more affordable than nursing home care in Chicopee, costing respective monthly averages of $5,339 and $5,529. The increased cost of home health care brings light medical services to the senior’s home. Those looking for around-the-clock assistance with daily living tasks who don’t require skilled nursing care may opt for an assisted living facility, averaging $5,048 per month. Seniors seeking daytime services can receive adult day health care for $10,500 less per month than a semiprivate nursing home room and nearly $11,000 less than a private room.
