Resident Testimonials:

"I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.  I have been in two Assisted Living houses and they don’t measure up to The Berkshire. Close and comfortable – with great stuff – always pleasant and willing to help! My friends have always commented on how nice this community is!  My family is very close by and I am able to visit them more now than for the past few years.  I was alone and lonely – now we see each other frequently and celebrate holidays together – my family is very important to me.” - Frank L.

"I think living here at The Berkshire is wonderful. I met beautiful friends here and love greeting new people.  I am happy living here as an ambassador, and happy knowing that good days are ahead." - Dora A.

“I am very happy here.  This is my first place someone has helped me.  And it’s been great!  I am helped with a shower, with my medications and my meals are in the dining room.  I am very pleased with my life here!” - Gloria K.
