MissionCare at Holyoke cares primarily for residents with a dual diagnoses of mental illness and a major medical condition as well as residents with other stigmatizing factors who may be difficult to place in a standard long term care setting or other site of care. Residents are referred to the center for long term care from all around the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and New England. MissionCare’s clinical and behavioral programming is tailored to individuals with these diagnoses and needs.

It is very rewarding and I am proud to be an Administrator and care for our residents everyday with such a great team.

Located atop the Ingleside section of Holyoke, overlooking the Connecticut River, every floor offers contemporary, comfortable resident rooms along with dining rooms, lounges and activity spaces.
