Benchmark Senior Living

Staff is overwhelming friendly, helpful and accomodating,a real pleasure to deal with. Mom is enjoying the activities and the meals. The one shortfall is the ratio of aides to the residents needing care. Response time to call bells (pendants) is inconsistent and sometimes woefully slow. We hope to see improvement in this area.

Refreshing to finally hear a place that is not black and white with their care options. There is a place for those who fall into the grey area between memory care and assisted living. offered. The approach to care seems genuine. Nice staff decent size rooms with tons of sun. BI hospital affiliate huge bonus. Grounds are very urban 2 80 a6.biggest drawback.Amanda was wonderful.

My brother is at Benchmark and doing very well there. The place is pretty clean and he really enjoys the food. Since moving in he has made a few friends and signed up for a few activities. The staff at Benchmark are amazing. They are all very welcoming and make the place feel warm and homey. I am very happy with the place overall and would recommend.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. We ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

Not much in those negative reviews make sense to me. My Mother has been in Sanctuary Care since it opened and has been very happy. This is a community and family should become part of the solution when possible instead of hypercritical. I read the negative reviews to my husband and he thought something was a little fishy too. Tour the facility and meet with the staff before making your decision. It helps to try to walk in the shoes of the caregivers. Extremely difficult job which sadly I could not do myself. I admire anyone that is in the profession of caring for elderly and especially persons with dementia. I am not that strong a person and I know it but I can be helpful and supportive of those taking that are doing what I cannot for my mother.

Overall our experience with The Atrium has been a good one. The facility itself is well maintained and well decorated, and I like that the interior feels open and airy. The staff is friendly, they do a good job looking out for the residents, and the food seems pretty good. It's a nice place, overall.

Warm and inviting. Furniture very worn looking in the dining room and activity rooms. Clean friendly. Staff very visible and involved.

I found the director, JR, and his associate staff members to be very professional and easy to communicate with. The aides for the most part were good and caring with my mother. The only issue that was very difficult for my mother was that many of the aides have a heavy accent and she found it difficult to understand what they were saying. When they knew she was having a tough time trying to figure out what they said to her, many of them would slow down and try to speak more clearly. For the elderly, this is normal.

When we toured the home we realized how close it was to our home and we immediately felt like we were at home. This is a very nice, quiet community.

My mom has been living at The Village at Buckland Court for almost 9 months. The staff is very good and truly seem to care about the residents. The food is wonderful - both quality and variety. They have a nice variety of activities and the staff does a pretty good job at trying to get the residents involved. Overall I feel The Village is a safe and happy environment for my mom and would recommend it highly.

Things are going fine at Academy Point.

They have been good to us. We like it so far!

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. This was a very nice looking place, it was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, it was also very expensive. We ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

The people working there are always friendly and caring. The room always is clean, and laundry is done. Never had problem getting things tha break fixed. No complaints of care of my father, and there always is activities going on to participate in. The biggest hurdle is paying community fees and first months rent to move in, which amounted to [removed] and [removed] reactively. The monthly total rent which includes care can also be high.

So far I have been pleased with Crescent Point At Niantic. The staff works really well with all the residents that are there. She has only been there a couple months and I have no complaints at this point.

The staff is just wonderful, my loved one really loves it there at Bedford Falls. He talks about how everyone is nice and caring to him and the food they hav is wonderful. They take very good care of him there.

We toured here when we were looking. They were comparable to other places, though not as close as the one we settled on. We also didn't like that there was no place to park.

Gorgeous facility. The pool is definitely a draw. The staff was really friendly. My mom was tempted by those things...Unfortunately, we found the menu lacking and the food mediocre. Unlike other places, Mariners Point does not have a kitchen(ette). Despite the lovely setting, not all the rooms have private outside access. Those few things made us move on. If those things are not high on your list, Mariners point is beautiful and definitely worth checking out!

Month 2 in respite I wanted to transition my dad at Benchmark Senior Living at Leominster Crossings. He needed day care at the Alzheimer's unit at harbor side. My dad would be at harbor side all day. My mom not at harbor side but was really liking it. The staff at harbor side were always encouraging her to come over because she was so fun. Well, then they decided my parents were too much work and wanted to charge me for mom being at harbor side when I am already paying a ton. Seriously the administrative side is terrible at this facility. The care side on the non harbor side is good. My dad had gotten no shower in a long time and stayed in the same outfit every day for many days. They have a real administrative problem over there. They have me gun shy over the whole situation. I like the every day aid that is there. The food is good and the place is clean. You are taking a huge risk with the administrative side at this facility. Buyer be ware!

My experience with them was that they were helpful and professional and provided a lot of information to us. The reason we chose this one was because my father was familiar with the facility, having already visited a friend who was staying there.
