A Touch of the Past, Elegant Present
Sugar Hill is the premier choice for elegant assisted living and senior living in the beautiful Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. Once the homestead of Senator W. Murray Crane, and home of Winthrop Crane, Sugar Hill is situated on 19 acres of land. The two-story Georgian Revival-style mansion was constructed in 1907-1909. Sugar Hill has hosted three U.S. Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge and William Howard Taft and renowned performers, such as Cole Porter and Ella Fitzgerald, performed in the music room. As the mansion was converted to today’s use, high quality assisted living, all the gorgeous design and architectural elements of the structure were painstakingly preserved for the enjoyment of our residents and visitors. Come join us for tour to learn more about elegant, comfortable living at Sugar Hill.

Testimonials
It is so difficult to put into words out heartfelt appreciation for the supportive care that our loved one, Bill A. received at Bay Path. We realize that it’s not an easy job for any of you with constant demands and needs of your residents being a daily consideration. Everyone from the welcoming ladies at the front desk, the staff at the desk at Alden, the administration, the nursing and the social worker staff, the CNAS, food service, maintenance, speech and physical therapy all provided an exceptional level of care.
– Lauren A. and Family.
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the management, owners and staff members at John Scott House for the services and care provided to my mother, Dorothy A., during her stay there from June of 2012 until her passing there on November 16, 2017 just after her 94th birthday. Over that five and a half years there were many issues and challenges from day to day, but I have to say the services could not have been better, in every situation...
Sincerely, – Raymond A.
I’d like to take this opportunity to extend our sincerest thanks to the staff of both the Addison Gilbert Hospital and the Seacoast Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. Over the last few months, my father was a patient at both facilities. He’s now able to continue his stroke recovery care at home. We credit his progress to first, the Gloucester Fire Department, the ER staff at AGH, the attending specialists, nursing staff, aides, nutritionists, therapists, and nurse practitioners.
– JILL W. AND FAMILY
Thank you so much for all the special care and attention that my father received at the Brighton House during his stay there for seven weeks. Please pass my deepest thanks on to the nurses and aids who attended all of his needs with great care and love; also physical and occupational therapy staff were very caring and excellent. My special great thanks to Svetlana P., who has an unbelievable relationship with the patients.
– Sincerely, Natasha K.
