CriticalBerkshire Commons
The staff is friendly but there actually needs to be better oversight in various instances. For example, residents need to be better watched over during meals and residents must be prohibited from easily entering the private rooms of fellow residents.

PositiveDuring my tour, the staff was very professional and friendly. The facility is bright and clean. The dining room was spacious. I saw many residents participating in group activities. The parking is large enough to accommodate many vehicles.

PositiveLoving and caring staff
Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. From staff to other residents. From day one I could tell my grandfather's well being was the number one concern. Staff are loving and caring, welcoming him into "their" family. Berkshire is clean and home like. Nothing fancy but we feel like home here.
