Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Springfield, MA

Overview of Monastery Heights Senior Living and Memory Care

You will find three care types at Monastery Heights Senior Living and Memory Care in Springfield, MA, namely memory care, assisted living, and respite care. Staff supervise inside a secured setting, and that is what memory care supplies for somebody liable to wander off. Under assisted living, bathing, dressing, and taking medication all get help, and a resident’s own living space stays their own.

Respite covers a short stay, which buys a family caregiver a stretch for travel or for mending. There are 105 beds under this license, with religious services and rehabilitation services both written into the lists. Somebody who needs memory care today and may want respite or assisted living later finds all three at this address.
