"My wife and I both had the privilege of receiving care at the Sosin Center for Rehabilitation, and while we were there at different times, our experiences were equally exceptional. From the moment my wife arrived, one of her goals was to regain enough strength to enjoy communal dining in the beautiful dining room. It was a real joy for her to sit at the large table, sharing meals with others, especially after initially not being able to make it to the dining area at all. The Sosin Center’s ‘small house’ model truly made a difference, with a warm, home-like atmosphere that includes a large kitchen, cozy dining area, and private bedrooms and bathrooms. My wife felt very much at home, and the spacious, private bathrooms were a great touch.

As for my own rehabilitation, the Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (PT) teams were outstanding. When I first arrived, I was nearly helpless, but thanks to the dedication and expertise of the staff, I left feeling fully capable and much stronger. I couldn’t have asked for a better rehab experience, and I would recommend the Sosin Center to anyone seeking top-notch care and a supportive, caring environment."
— John

Whether it was regaining the strength to enjoy communal meals or achieving personal rehab goals, the Sosin Center’s unique ‘small house’ model made all the difference. Private bedrooms, spacious bathrooms, and a cozy kitchen and dining space brought comfort and dignity to the recovery process.

We’re proud to offer care that helps people heal—mind, body, and spirit.

A Morning with the Western Mass Wheelers!

We were so excited to welcome Western Mass Wheelers, a nonprofit that offers free bike rides to seniors and others who may not be able to ride on their own.

Last week, Jill and Mike visited with our residents at Ruth's House Assisted Living and Wernick Adult Day Health to share their inspiring story and passion for providing this opportunity in our community. Afterward, they gave rides around our home—making the most of the perfect weather and filling the morning with smiles!

Thank you to Jill, Mike, and the Western Mass Wheelers for bringing joy, fresh air, and adventure to our residents!

The residents at Ruth's House Assisted Living spent the whole day baking up a storm at Ruth’s House! From classic chocolate chip cookies to rich peanut butter cookies and a warm batch of brownies, the kitchen was filled with laughter, delicious smells, and plenty of taste testing. Nothing brings people together quite like baking!

A night to remember at Fenway!

David and Audrey Rome were the lucky winners of 4 Red Sox tickets donated by the generous Grodsky Family at this year’s Frankel-Kinsler Memorial Golf Tournament.

They enjoyed a beautiful evening at the game with their grandchildren, Elise and Justin Bederak—complete with shopping before the game and a once-in-a-lifetime surprise: Elise was invited to be a bat kid!

The game (Red Sox vs. the Royals) was exciting, but the memories made were even better.

Thank you to Jeff and Scott Grodsky and their family for making this unforgettable night possible—and for helping make our raffle such a success!

For the third year in a row, Legacy Lifecare Hospice West has been honored with the Hospice Honors Elite Award from our EMR partner, MatrixCare!

This prestigious award is based on results from the CAHPS Hospice Survey, which measures patient and family satisfaction. To earn Hospice Honors Elite status, a hospice must score above the national average on every single one of the 24 evaluated questions—and our team did just that!

This recognition reflects the compassion, dedication, and excellence our hospice team delivers each and every day.

We are incredibly proud—and grateful—to work alongside such a remarkable team.

Congratulations to all!
