Posititive Changes with New Leadership
There is a new Director just coming on board. Theses ratings are based on the previous Director. I am already seeing positive changes with the Interim and new Director and hope they will continue. Hopefully this is a new beginning for Keystone to regain their reputation.

About the facility
Keystone Commons

The rolling hills and brilliant pastures of the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts epitomize the storybook setting that is common in rural New England. Keystone Commons is nestled on the edge of Ludlow, Massachusetts, where secret swimming holes and roadside farm stands animate summer dreams.

Rich with history, natural surroundings, and urban convenience, the city of Ludlow has something for everyone. A trip to Boston for a baseball game or historical jaunt is just over an hour away. Fall leaf peeping in the hilltowns of The Berkshires is less than an hour west. Closer to home, Ludlow offers unique dining options, and a number of festivals throughout the year to celebrate its strong Portuguese and Polish heritages.

It was terrible! The CNA's, except for one, were rude, the Apt was cold because they wouldn't turn the heat on until sometime in October, the hall rugs were filthy. The food was good, though.

Staff is Attentive and Caring
The staff members at Keystone Commons are caring and friendly. The only reason I gave a 3 to the cleanliness was that the memory care unit needs attention with redoing the area and the rooms

Would not recommend
Areas they could improve on - Let the residents control their thermostats year-round. It was always too cold in the rooms and the dining room. The hall carpet needs to be cleaned or replaced On a positive note, the staff Was very friendly. The residents were Not.

For Stay Inspired they have painting class, spiritual services, cooking demos, live music and nature photography. For Staying Fit, they have Tai Chi, walking club, fitness dice, chair yoga, and relaxing massages. For Staying Sharp there is UNO, blackjack and Mexican Train dominoes, bingo, news & views, documentaries and trivia pub.

Tour of Keystone Commons
We toured Keystone Commons and it was a great facility, would have been an awesome choice. My loved one is a fall risk and physically declining so we figured that the long hallways would have been an obstacle for him. They have a hybrid program we liked that is in between memory care and assisted living.

The staff seems to be friendly and caring
My mother was here briefly. I thought they were doing their part and they were fine. There is an adjustment period for any place you go, though. But overall I thought they were great. I thought the staff was pretty good and I’ve been there periodically on different occasions for hours at a time. It’s very apparent that the staff cared about the residents because they knew all of them by name and interacted with them well. The only thing I will say I didn’t like is that I didn’t see that scheduled things were really being adhered to, such as showering. I spoke to them on the phone and they gave me her shower schedule. I would call my mom to check on it and by the time I spoke with her, she still hadn’t been given a shower. One of her pain medications was only available on request and they would not give it to her unless she could tell them the name of the medicine, but it’s a difficult name to pronounce and it’s disappointing that they wouldn’t let her have it. The food seemed good, though, and it seemed to be well balanced and nutritious. Everything seemed to be clean and housekeeping would come by once a week to help change the bed sheets and the towels. They would also vacuum the floors and clean the bathrooms.

Glad Dad Was There
After only being here 3 weeks my father in law became ill and the staff was the ones that picked up that something wasn't right with him and brought it to our attention. The staff is wonderful very attentive and professional and nice. The community is nice very clean and well maintained. The food seemed to be good. The location is great very close to my home so we can be there often to visit. We would recommend them.

Lovely, bright, clean facility. [Removed] gave an excellent tour and knew all the residents we ran into by name. She introduced my mom to another recent widow who had moved in only a few months ago and though she acknowledged that the transition was initially difficult, she loves it and has made many friends. Rooms were spacious and bright. Mom was impressed.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Keystone Commons

Keystone Commons offers Studio, 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedrooms and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Keystone Commons 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
