The Dining Experience at Armbrook Village


The Dining Experience at Armbrook Village is unparalleled, featuring a dedicated waitstaff, a wide variety of menu options, fresh food sourced locally in season and a beautiful dining room that encourages socialization and friendship-building. Our very own Executive Chef Chris consistently receives rave reviews for his flavorful cuisine featuring recipes from our award-winning Brain Healthy Cooking Program. Chris brings over 25 years of experience to his position and creates a varied menu of both healthy and tasty options for residents to choose from. Popular dishes include Orange & Ginger Glazed Salmon, Shrimp Paella, Roasted Salmon with Kale and Quinoa Salad, and Pomegranate Glazed Roast Chicken. Chris also won Senior Living Residences’ Top Chef Award 2 years in a row! 

Unlike most senior communities, our dining program does not remain only in the dining room. Brain Healthy Cooking is weaved into regular programming and wellness activities — it is, after all, based on the Mediterranean diet, which has lifestyle components including regular physical activity and socialization. At Armbrook, we offer regular cooking demonstrations and lessons on how to make different food items from around the world. Chef Chris also ensures that each resident at Armbrook is heard and respected when it comes to they food they want to eat and strives to make healthful variations of their favorite dishes while preserving taste. 

Armbrook is Leading Alzheimer’s Care in NEW DIRECTIONS


Armbrook features a state-of-the-art Compass Memory Support Neighborhood, which treats the symptoms of Alzheimer’s by putting cutting-edge research into action. Our philosophy is that individuals with memory loss should have the fullest possible sense of control over their daily lives, continue to learn, enjoy personal relationships, play a role in their own care, and live meaningful lives. This positive and optimistic approach to treating individuals with Alzheimer’s as individuals and treating the symptoms of their disease with unique programming, rather than relying solely on medication, is what sets Compass apart.

Armbrook Village’s Compass Memory Support Neighborhood is located in a dedicated, secured wing within our community. With only 25 apartments, our Compass Neighborhood is an intimate nurturing environment with a high staff-to-resident ratio and an exceptionally personal style of care. Many of our staff are Certified Dementia Practitioners, and are also trained through the award-winning Dementia Friendly Communities program.

Armbrook Village is the first community in Western Mass to receive the Purple Flag for Dementia Care™️ Accreditation, which recognizes excellence in person-centered care for those with memory loss.

We are a Dementia Friendly Community

The program provides an in-depth sensitivity training on dementia helping to build empathy and awareness of dementia and the diseases and afflictions that cause it. This program has been brought to thousands of area professionals and families since its inception in 2014.
