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 an honor and a privilege to make our residents feel home and bring a person centered approach, coupled with strong community support to ensure they feel warmth and compassion. 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. Residents also can enjoy the center’s recreational areas and a large, secure outdoor space. A large community room, hair salon and dining room also are on site. Continue reading…
