Kimball Farms Nursing Care Center in Lenox, MA is a skilled nursing facility that delivers comprehensive medical oversight for residents who require a higher level of daily support. It accepts both long-term and short-stay respite residents, offering a seamless transition for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or other medical events. Regular wellness checks are built into each care plan, with clinical staff tracking vital signs, medication responses, and overall health to identify concerns quickly and adjust treatment as needed.
Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on duty at all hours, supported by an emergency call system installed in every resident room and common area. The system links directly to staff stations, enabling rapid response to falls, pain episodes, or any sudden change in condition. This constant availability of trained personnel helps reduce hospital readmissions and adds a clear line of accountability for families monitoring a loved one’s safety.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and features can include central air conditioning, wall-to-wall carpet, cable television, telephone service, and an in-room iPad for communication or entertainment. Some units open to landscaped grounds or outdoor seating areas, and certain rooms are designated as pet friendly. Library and computer lounge access is available for quiet reading or internet use, but not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so it is useful to confirm specifics during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with menus designed to meet clinical nutrition standards and accommodate physician-ordered diets. Residents receive healthy snacks between meals, and staff are present in the dining room to monitor intake, provide feeding assistance, or deliver trays to rooms when needed. This consistent approach to nutrition supports recovery, weight maintenance, and medication management.
The community maintains an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, bingo, and an arts studio for residents who enjoy painting or other creative work. A baby grand piano is available for music programs, and a putting green provides low-impact physical activity. Social outings, clubs and communities, and a dedicated men’s group offer structured opportunities for residents to build relationships and stay engaged beyond their individual rooms.
