Types of care available in Holyoke, MA
They have an amazing and wonderful variety of activities!!! Artsong, ballroom dancing, bowling, outside bbq and musical performances, new minigolf, monthly themed activities where all residents participate, happy hour at pub every Friday before dinner, weekly field trips to wineries, museums, etc.
The biggest area for improvement is the food. I understand that the chefs cook a low sodium and low sugar diet, but there is hardly any variety. And the food is incredibly bland. We drop off home-cooked meals or do Uber eats to my grandfather. The staff is all super kind. They seem to know all of the residents by name and they always speak to my grandfather. Anytime they see him in passing. They manage his medication as well and keep us up-to-date. He has had some recent health issues over the last 12 months that have required him to go to the hospital and the nurses always make sure they give us a full report before they send him.
We had difficulty confirming a move in date for my mom. There was nothing The Wellington could do about it, but they were terrible about communicating with us. I needed to call repeatedly to get an answer. The internet and cable were not usable. We ended up purchasing our own so that we could ensure my mom had them. My mom is not a huge fan of the food, but I think part of that is she used to go out to eat with my dad before he passed, and she misses that. Overall, I would recommend The Wellington to others. The apartments are much nicer than others that we saw. A full kitchen and a washer and dryer in the unit was a must for her. For the price, I don't think there is anything better out there.
