Ruth‘s House
Ruth‘s House offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Longmeadow, MA. Assisted living provides help with daily living activities while supporting a resident’s independence, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care is available for a short stay, which can suit a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover.
The community has 64 beds. Traditional assisted living starts at $6,600, a price tied to that care level rather than to memory care or respite care. The combination of care options may suit a family seeking ongoing daily-living support, secured memory support, or a temporary stay during a caregiver’s absence.
A primary care physician is on site, and rehabilitation services are available at the residence, allowing residents to receive those services without arranging an outside location. Restaurant-style kosher dining, a self-service country kitchen, religious services, outdoor patios and gardens, and a full-service salon, spa, and bath give residents places for meals, worship, outdoor time, and personal care within the community.
Gina Lucchese serves as director. Staffing is available 24 hours a day, so assistance is available at any hour.
