The Best Pittsfield Assisted Living

Pittsfield, MA, located near the Massachusetts border with New York State in far western central Massachusetts, is a small city of slightly under 45,000 residents. The city has been recently named the "Most Secure Place To Live" with under 150,000 residents, was granted the 2009 Commonwealth Award, and was named the "Brooklyn of the Berkshires" by the Financial Times in 2010. With many options in the area, finding a Pittsfield assisted living facility for your individual needs is easy with the help of AssistedSeniorLiving.net.

Although Pittsfield assisted living costs are much higher than the national average, the city's quality of living partially makes up for it. Private ALF rooms and semi-private and private nursing home rooms are not good options for seniors with financial troubles. They cost $5,505, $8,669, and $9,885 per month, respectively. Homemaker services, home health aide and adult day health care are slightly more reasonable, costing $3,909, $4,576, and $1,169, respectively. Pittsfield's cost of living is not exorbitant, but it is still higher than average; 108.6 as rated by the March 2012 cost of living index. The city has almost exactly the national average amount of crime. Berkshire Medical Center Inc. Is the city's primary source of health care.

Pittsfield's Ralph J. Froio Senior Center, run by the Pittsfield Council on Aging, is located in downtown Pittsfield and serves the area's senior community. It has many programs, classes and services for all elderly residents. The building also includes woodwork and ceramics shops, a game room and a craft room.

The city lies on the Housatonic River and between the Berkshire Hills and the Taconic Range. Pittsfield is the cultural center of the Berkshire region, normally called the Berkshires. Tanglewood, where the Boston Symphony Orchestra plays in the summer, is near the city. In downtown Pittsfield there are many theaters, museums, and points of interest, including the Berkshire Museum, the Beacon Cinema, the Barrington Stage Company and the Hebert Arboretum. The downtown also houses the Berkshire Athenaeum.

Recreationally, the city is surrounded by golf clubs, parks and conservation areas. For golf there are Pittsfield Country Club, GE Athletic Association Golf Course and Berkshire Hills Country Club, among others. Onota Lake lies to the east of the city for boating and fishing outings. At the Canoe Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary there are opportunities for hiking, walking and bird watching, as it is maintained by the Massachusetts Audubon Society. The city also maintains more than a dozen parks throughout the city and many miles of bike paths. Further away there are Bates Memorial State Park, the Pittsfield State Forest, Pittsfield State Watershed Area and Balance Rock State Park.
