Overview of Armbrook Village

Armbrook Village offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Westfield, MA. In assisted living, staff help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering.

All three care levels are available in one community. The choices can grow with changing needs, so a resident may not have to leave or start over socially if more care is needed. Armbrook Village may suit someone seeking flexibility as care needs change. Housing includes studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments: a studio offers one private space, while a two-bedroom can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion.

Massachusetts Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Massachusetts) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community.
