Benchmark Senior Living

Honestly, I thought it was dirty. I didn't feel they did a good job in separating the levels of memory care. That's all they are - memory care and they have all levels of memory care grouped together which is not appropriate at times. You have people that have memory issues that are still higher functioning, like my mom. It's very depressing as a family member to go there and see what might be down the road and bringing my children there to visit would have been difficult. It might be a good place, but I, personally, think they should separate the different levels They have wings but instead of separating them by wing they just put all of them together and it really was not clean at all.

Distance is a factor here, it's quite far from my home, Mom would like to be closer. This is not the best fit for our needs at this time. The cottages are similar to her current situation, the assisted lodge is more than she is ready for right now. She falls between, so we will keep looking.

Too dark in lobby and didn't like the out door space but is a lovely place

It was a little bit older of a facility but it was nice.

full assisted living; companion living $2640/month; $4080/month pvt no dog in companion rooms (he thinks that's universal) full staff/ emergency response

The biggest disappointment about this community is that they have facilities like a gym, swimming pool and a pub that because most of the residents are not active they do not get used frequently so they are not well maintained. The gym has very little working equipment seems like 2 out of 3 machines are broken. The pool isn't very well taken care of. The pub they show you and it seems like its open any time but residents can only use it Thursday, Friday and Saturday for an hour each day. On the surface they have nice things to look at and do but when you actually look into it they are limited or not working. These facilities just are cared for. It is also a more expensive community each person is paying around $3,500 a month.

Not clear if they have vegetarian options. In -between B's work and home. Would consider paying staff a la carte to car for dog. Great courtyard with garden. Residents in lock-in ward seem happy and can go outdoors. Offered to create custom plan while she is capable to help other residents and do her own laundry, but not sure if she will be capable by the time she agrees or is ordered to move.

Has done day care and respite care here

Facilities would fill the need for assisted living and dementia care. May be too far away from West Hartford. Need to get to Westminister, Doctors and Hair Salon. Not too much space.

Nice rooms. Nice people. Far from home - location not so great near airport Very large facility maybe a bit overwhelming???? Food looked amazing - gourmet

Clean, nice country type setting, is equiped to assitis with memory issues. With in range to afford and can add care with price increas if needed

Liked this a lot. The programing didn't seem as dense as some.

Looks like housing units are very tightly clustered giving little privacy or nature views

nice but large

Very friendly staff. Clean environment. But, all residents have memory loss. This would not be a good fit for my mother. Also, "apartments" were very small...just a bed, bathroom and small closet. It felt very much like a nursing home.

Facility has heavy reconstruction being done so unfair to give it a complete assessment, but tour was good and my Aunt will look at it soon.

Clean, cheerful, bright. The staff were friendly. This is a locked facility and I don't think mom would feel comfortable at this point in time with the locked doors to enter and leave.

Clean, nice setting, staff very informative, nursing staff and assistance on location

lovely place. looking for a younger, healthier crowd.

visited, very nice. not affiliated with generations/elliott hosp. Mostly ALZ, could transition there
