Mount Carmel Care Center

Mount Carmel Care Center is a Five-Star rated facility, as determined by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In addition, Mount Carmel Care Center has earned five consecutive deficiency-free surveys by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in its annual surveys, which is an unprecedented feat. We provide skilled nursing, short term rehabilitation and long term care for seniors. Mount Carmel Care Center is the only faith-based facility in the Berkshires. Mount Carmel Care Center, Inc. is a member of the Carmelite System, exclusively comprised of nursing and rehabilitation, independent living and assisted living facilities that span the Northeast and the Midwest, as well as a facility in Dublin, Ireland. The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm is a Congregation founded in New York City by Mother Mary Angeline Teresa McCrory and six companions on September 3, 1929. Mother Angeline recognized a great and growing need to provide care and comfort for the aging and infirm population in the United States. Acting in faith and with the assistance of Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York, Mother Angeline made her vision a reality by establishing a new Congregation dedicated exclusively to the care and services of the elderly in the American tradition. In 1999, the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm formed a non-profit corporation known as The Carmelite System, Inc. in order to perpetuate the healing ministry of Christ in long-term health care. The Congregation also sponsors the Avila Institute of Gerontology, which provides ongoing education and study in the field of aging services.
