Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree

When my friend was finishing a stint in medical rehab, she would not be able to go back to live alone in her home. Two staff members of Norwood Benchmark came to speak with her at her rehab facility. It was clear from the warmth of the conversation that the key feature at Benchmark is the care and concern for their residents. It clearly and tangibly informs all the decisions they make.

Settling into an Assisted Living Facility after Independent for 91 years!!

My brother in law who is 91 has been a resident in the Assisted Living section of the facility for almost 2 months. He has settled right into his surroundings wonderfully. The staff has been wonderful and kind. He goes regularly to the dining room and compliments their cuisine . Although he regularly has peanut butter sandwiches for lunch he keeps to his routine .There is a walking trail which goes right around the facility. It is all paved and marked with plenty of benches if he gets tired. 4 times around us a mile which he is aiming for. Walking is a big part of his day so we are glad he can continue safely.

Review for Cabot Park Village

Exceptional people. Including the Management and Staff, and if possible even more significantly the residents. I think that would be gilding the lily. I can say that I used to be responsible for customer service and the overall patient experience at a large health facility, where one goal was exceeding patient and client expectations. Service quality and caring has been uniformly superior and a direct reflection of the service leadership of the Executive Director of the facility.
