We offer medical, social and rehabilitative services in a caring, family- & community-oriented skilled nursing facility...

Our Story

Poet's Seat Health Care Center was named after the famous landmark Poet's Seat Tower. In 1966, a local physician created Poet's Seat Health Care Center because he recognized the need for a comfortable place where elders could receive dedicated, personal nursing care. Through a deep sense of commitment and compassion, our facility became a cornerstone of the community. Our philosophy of caring, coupled with our aspiration to create a nurturing "home away from home," still holds true today. Poet's Seat Health Care Center continues to be a leading skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility for Franklin County and its surrounding communities.

Our intimate, family-orientated atmosphere - reminiscent of the center's original beginning over 34 years ago - makes Poet's Seat Health Care Center unique among local health care centers. We are nestled close to downtown Greenfield, one mile from Baystate Franklin Medical Center. We offer the finest nursing care for both long-term, short-term rehabilitation and respite residents.

Poet's Seat Health Care Center's professional, dedicated staff provides a tailored plan of care for each resident in accordance with physicians' directives. Every department works with residents on a one-on-one level with respect and consideration, striving to maximize and expand their highest level of functioning.

We also offer financial assistance with understanding insurances. We work with families in preparing for the expense of long-term care.

At our warm and cozy facility, we strive to truly know all of our residents and their families. We understand the importance of working with individual physicians in providing the latest medical interventions. This special, well-rounded approach to elder care makes Poet's Seat Health Care Center an appealing, reliable choice for excellent healthcare.
