I highly recommend Berkshire Commons to anyone who needs personal or memory care. My mother was a resident for close to 5 years . Most recently, they effectively coordinated my mother's end of life with Serenity Hospice. Both organizations did an amazing job. I am so grateful for their unending compassion, dignity, medical care and family support.

I feel secure when leaving that she is taken care of properly . I can no longer provide all her needs myself and Berkshire commons fills that requirement .

Recently, My father-in-law moved into BC, and Ashlee and staff couldn't have been better helping him and us with this life transition. The facility is beautiful, my father-in-law loves his new space, and our family can now breathe a little easier knowing that he is safe and well taken care of going forward. Highly recommended!!

I deliver medical equipment to Berkshire Commons on a regular basis and the staff is always so pleasant and helpful. I need to single out Zara(receptionist). It is nice to walk through the front door and know she always greets everyone with a friendly smile and kind words.

Just moved our mom into Berkshire Commons, and the experience has been wonderful so far. Sherry and Ashlee have been incredibly supportive every step of the way, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Since we live out of state, their help has meant even more to us and they’ve truly gone above and beyond. The staff is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. We’re so grateful to have found such a great place for her.
