People treat each other very well. When you’re new, someone takes you under their wing. The friendships that develop are amazing.

ALIVE with ACTIVITY

The best marketing comes by word of mouth. If someone likes a good restaurant, they’ll let you know. We’ve discovered that our best marketing comes from the people who already live at the Berkshire. No paid actors, no marketing companies telling a story. In this booklet, we bring you the real stories of active, independent seniors who call the Berkshire their home. If the Berkshire sounds like your kind of community, stop in for a tour and meet some of our residents firsthand. There’s always something cooking at the Berkshire… we’re Alive with Activity!
