We toured the Memory Care facility and found it to be a really nice space. The rooms were above average. However, given my mother's relatively high physical functionality, the limited outdoor space and less active activity calendar were less attractive than other alternatives.

The Benchmark Senior Living was just not what we were looking for. The place wasn't as nice as other places,it was more expensive, and it didn't appear to be clean. The rooms that they showed us had a musty smell to them. The place is an older building. There didn't appear to be much staff, but the ones I did meet seemed nice.
