7 Best Nursing Homes in Middlefield, MA

The staff are incredible. They understand dementia and approach each resident individually and highlights their strengths and interests. My aunt is happy, comfortable and among friends.

My father is on the memory care unit: The staff is very willing to talk and listen to families. The activities staff try's hard to keep those who are able, active and involved in activities throughout the day. If a resident needs to rest or take a nap, they understand. The staff is well trained in working with dementia residents and know how to redirect and calm a situation if need be without embarrassing the resident. I feel my father is safe and well cared for. My only issue has been communicating to my siblings and I when he needs more supplies; or clothing, in his case, has become too small. Luckily one of us is usually there at least once a month, as we all live out of state.

We are so grateful that A Place For Mom matched Mom with Wingate Residences. The staff was so helpful as we navigated entry and move-in, and answered our many many questions kindly and well. Staff from CNAs to food service to housekeeping and maintenance have been friendly and respectful. The other residents are welcoming. There are so many activities, Mom picks up the daily schedule every morning and lives by it. And the food is wonderful! The main meal is lunch, which makes sense for so many health reasons, the variety great and options plentiful. Transitions like this are hard, but Wingate has done everything possible to make it easier. We appreciate it so much.
