Holiday Devonshire Estates in Lenox, MA
5.0

Devonshire has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The food is good and you get good serving size portions. I had fun participating in the activities while I was there.

Wingate Residences at Melbourne Place in Pittsfield, MA
4.0

We are very happy with Wingate. The staff members make a point of knowing everyone's name immediately on arrival, which is really comforting. The activities are great, varied and interesting. The meals are good but could use a bit of an update. Fresh vegetables and grains for example. It's been a very positive experience and my mother is happy.

Home Sweet Home of Athens
5.0

My mother spent the last 5 years of her life at this wonderful Assisted Living Facility. Grateful is an understatement. We were blessed to have found such a homey place. The staff and care was exceptional and my mom made several friends there. The size of the facility really made a difference in the social experience. My mother's mind was kept at ease because she knew someone was always nearby. I would recommend Home Sweet Home of Athens to anyone who is worried about placing a family member in a facility, because this place made an enormous difference in my mother's and my quality of life. God bless the caregivers and owners.
