Berkshire Commons

My husband and I are happy with the care that our mother is receiving. The staff is very helpful, patient and caring with her. She does seem to be adjusting well. My husband and I are still adjusting to some of the procedures with medication guidelines and protocol. But we are starting to get the hang of it. The staff is extremely patient with explaining any confusion or questions that we may have. Place is always clean and cheerful for the residents that live there. I would recommend Berkshire Commons in Exeter for a family member .

During my tour, the staff was very professional and friendly. The facility is bright and clean. The dining room was spacious. I saw many residents participating in group activities. The parking is large enough to accommodate many vehicles.

Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. From staff to other residents. From day one I could tell my grandfather's well being was the number one concern. Staff are loving and caring, welcoming him into "their" family. Berkshire is clean and home like. Nothing fancy but we feel like home here. The furniture and furnishings could be updated but all in all not too bad. Staff are always willing to answer questions and help out when needed. Food is basic but lots of options.

I met with the admissions person and toured the facility for my mom. [name removed] was such a joy to meet. She was extremely pleasant and polite. She was super knowledgeable and was willing to answer any questions that I had. The staff was more than welcoming. Everyone I came into contact with was very nice. The community was a great experience.

I’m happy to provide this review of Berkshire Commons. The facility, staff, and grounds all played a part in our decision to bring Mother. The memory care unit specifically played a large part in our decision, as it’s recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association for dementia care education. Not only are the staff trained to care for residents with the utmost respect and dignity, but they also provide meaningful activities each day for residents to keep them engaged and active to the extent they can be. The personal care plan that is put together for patients, like my mother, allowed her to have access to some of the best care in the area, as well as keeping her safe. The grounds are well maintained and welcoming, and gorgeous in the Spring – Mother’s favorite season. My family and I are grateful for the care, love, and support provided to Mother while our family rested easier knowing she was safe and in excellent care.

Berkshire Commons is a very clean building with friendly staff. The care of all their residents is of utmost importance and they go above and beyond to make sure there is a pleasant experience for all.

It is always a difficult decision to make when a loved one needs to leave home. Knowing this, I did a bunch of research to find a place for my Mom. In the end, I could not be happier! The staff are amazing at Berkshire Commons and my Mom has made so many new friends. Thank You to this great community for helping my Mom.

Berkshire Commons is a lovely community!I have been there for many events and visits and they do a beautiful job. The residents are always happy and engaged. The care staff truly cares about their residents and it shows.

We cannot be any happier with everyone at Berkshire Commons! Since my dad has been there he has been treated with so much respect and compassion. He's always saying everyone is so nice and kind to him - we no longer have to worry about his care because we know he's being taken care of above our expectations!

I always enjoy my stay at Berkshire Commons-anytime I need anyhting and ring my bell, someone comes right away. It is clean, the aides are wonderful and I look forward to coming back.

I cannot thank the staff at Berkshire Commons enough for taking such good care of my Mother! When she moved in, we were all so worried about the change but after just a few days, everyone treats her so well and she is enjoying the new people she met at her table in the dining room.

I think my mom had the best care for her last 10 months. She liked it there & the staff liked her. She had big smiles for them. When she was passing, they all stopped in to say goodbye & told us sweet, funny stories about time they spent with her. She was unconscious by then, but we felt the love they had for her.

The staff ultimately the reason we picked Berkshire Community for our loved one. [name removed] and [name removed] are in the correct line of work. [name removed] who is the lady that helps the families with the setup process, goes over the cost has been nothing but friendly, helpful and accommodating. [name removed] who is her boss and oversees the whole place has also just been wonderful. All of the staff from top to bottom have helped make it a wonderful experience. We are beyond satisfied with the community and the care our loved one has received.

Berkshire Commons is a great place. They did a terrific job caring for my mom to the end. I would recommend them highly to anybody. She enjoyed the food very much. With activities, they were always doing something and keeping the residents busy - things like bingo, music, various entertainment, coloring. It was a very good experience.

We really like Berkshire Commons, it feels like a hotel. It has more of a homey feel to it and not like your typical nursing home setting. The staff members there are so friendly and the other residents living there and all know the staff by name and really seem happy to see them. They are kept really busy with all the activities and based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend them to other families.

Berkshire Commons is a great facility. What sticks out most to me is the staff, they were all extremely friendly and helpful during my mothers stay here. If I needed this type of care for myself, I would choose to stay here. I would definitely recommend them to other families who are looking.
