Benchmark Senior Living

My Mom lived at the Atrium at Drum Hill for more than five years. She passed away last October. She had Alzheimer’s and or vascular dementia that progressed from relatively mild to pretty debilitating during those five years. During all that time the staff at the Atrium treated her with respect and dignity for which she and I were always grateful. At the same time my Mom was at the Atrium I was also caring for my wife who has Alzheimer’s. Her condition has also progressed during those five years the Atrium was helping me with my Mom. I had my wife in a day care program and after I would drop her off, I’d visit with my Mom. I’d watch how the staff would care for the residents and how they handled difficult situations. I was grateful for the examples and tips I learned from them and I did my best to put in to practice at home with my Wife. I was quite lucky in that respect. While the illness progressed in my Mom, it also progressed in my wife.

Academy Point at Mystic gives our family that peace of mind that our loved one is being taken care of. The staff are extremely friendly and always engaging with the residents - it really gives off that tight knit community. They take care of everybody - if someone does not show up for meal time they still send a staff member to go check on them. Our loved one does not participate in the activities but we do see a ton of different things going on. They are extremely efficient with their transportation service, they have been outstanding and have never let us down. They will take them to other appointments as well as day trips to different restaurant's. It is expensive but you do get a lot for your money and we would 100% recommend this community to other families.

We looked at a number of places for our mother when we felt she was no longer safe living on her own. The senior staff at Evans Park truly stood out as being helpful and genuinely caring. When we toured the facility with and without our mother the staff seemed to know all the residents and to have real relationships with many of them. The residents we met seemed very happy and were welcoming of our mother. The staff was entirely focused on what was best for our mother. Though we ultimately selected a place that was practically next door to my brother's house, my brother, sister and I were enormously impressed by all our interactions with staff at Evans Park, which is why I have gone to the extra effort of writing a review. We would have been very happy to have had our mother there if it weren't quite so far away.

Currently, I am a resident of Tatnuck Park Assisted Living Residence. Having done my due diligence, I picked a winner here. The facility is beautiful. The staff is attentive to all of your needs. 70 percent of people 65 and older will need assisted living before they die. Do your homework and be prepared

My aunt has only been at the local Benchmark community since May of this year, but it has been a very positive experience. I'm familiar with these intuitions because my mom was in two of them and the quality of care is really high here. I really appreciate the nursing staff; they're very attentive to my aunts situation and they have provided very helpful advice on how to manage my aunts care.

I toured The Falls at Cordingly Dam and it was excellent. The people were really great, and they provided me with all of the information I needed. They have an absolutely stunning facility as well. When touring around, what you want is for someone to be candid about their facility, as well as providing you with all the information you need - and they were excellent in that regard. We chose another community because of location, and also because I don't think The Falls would have been a good fit for my loved one, but that's to no fault of the community.

I find everyone there very nice & my father is well taken care of!

very happy and positive attitude in this environment.The food is excellent. I’m glad we chose this place for our mom.

The place is very underrated.I am very happy, and it was 100 percent the right choice.

If you have a loved one who has memory care needs, I can't think of a better place for your loved one to be. The staff communication with the family was phenonmal, and they were responsive to our questions and concerns. There are three meals a day served a day to the residents. There are also choices for the residents to choose from for meals.

The staff are nice and attentive to my loved one. They do a good job in keeping my loved one's room clean. The staff are good at caring for the residents that have memory care health concerns. The meals are good, and I have enjoyed meals with my loved one. My loved one has been able to get their strength back and is learning to stand again within the community and assistance. Overall, I am pleased with our experience here.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The community is bright and inviting. They have a nice atmosphere and it is upbeat. The staff are approachable, and everyone has been very friendly as well. The activities are well thought out, they even have transportation to doctor appointments. The head chef is great and very accommodating. If the resident needs to stay in their room the community will deliver meals to the resident's rooms. This community stood out by far compared to the other communities I looked at.

Benchmark Senior Living is a very clean community and there are now fowl odors anywhere. The gentlemen who initially took us on the tour was fantastic and so knowledgeable. The staff really put in a good effort to make all of the residents feel like the belong. They are working on improving the meals and dining service and they have a good selection of activities they do a good job there. The residents there are allowed to age in place so we do not have to worry about moving our parents. We would definitely recommend this community to other families.

I would definitely recommend Evans Park I can't imagine better assistant living then Evans Park I am very grateful for taking care of my husband

They are highly professional. The staff is very friendly and receptive for the most part.

Bad communication as a whole especially with medications when someone is going on vacation. Have had that happen on a few occasions. Everything else besides the one issue has been incredible and couldn't ask for anything more. All around great!!

We had an incredible experience. They gave my dad the best care he had received in a very long time. He was previously in two other facilities, and comparatively, the care at The Atrium was amazing. They communicated well with our family. They were always open to phone calls, emails, walk-in conversations. They literally had on open door policy. Their staff is just incredible, including the administrative staff.

After reviewing several care facilities, we decided on The Atrium and are very satisfied with that decision. It's a perfect location for us to visit easily. Their Community Relations person gave a great tour and answered all of our questions. Our loved one is resistant to help, but the staff are respectful to her and do what they can to help her with the transition. They prompt her to participate in activities, although they don't force her to go. They have a lot of good activities and a monthly calendar they post. She seems to like the food and is putting on some weight.

The gal who was showing me around on the tour was great and did a really good job. She was very informative and friendly. They had a lot of nice choices on room sizes and layouts. The pricing here is "al a carte" and I needed something all inclusive so that I would know the exact amount that I would be paying each month. It was just not the right fit for us but it is a lovely place.
