A Place for Mom has scored Benchmark Senior Living with 8.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score based on 313 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time, Benchmark Senior Living has 2,313 reviews with an average "overall experience" of 4.3 out of 5.
My only criticism is that they need to do a better job cleaning bathrooms, in particular the toilets. Some people need to have them cleaned after each movement.

I toured Nashua Crossings, and thought that it was a newer, very nice community. It seemed to be an independent, lively place, but I was uncomfortable with the fact that they had a base price for care, and anything additional was added on depending on they types of care needed. It's a quite expensive system.

We toured this community for the care for my mom. The staff were nice and had a lot of good qualities for the care of what my mom needed. This community was not what we needed at the time. The staff was nice and very friendly/ They offer nice meals and activities for the residents. We would suggest families take a tour for the care of a loved one.

The staff here is great and they are very nice. They have been trying to do everything they can to make sure that my loved one is comfortable. However, I did have a huge problem with the medication that my loved one received. It was not right and my loved one fell and broke an arm. I feel there is just a communication problem, but it is being worked on.

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.

My loved one was here for a while. It was okay, but we chose them in kind of a hurried situation. It was much more expensive than what we were looking for. She was going to complain about the same things no matter where she went so we moved to something more affordable for her.

There has been a high rate of staff turnover since my family member took up residence. It is not the same. Generally, the staff is nice and caring. Unfortunately, most residents are bored in the afternoon/evenings. The staff are not active w/the residents. The food leaves a lot to be desired ~ hot meals are lukewarm; not offered beverages, same thing day in/out; they charge family to eat there....ridiculous $$ for what is served. For the cost of residence, family should be able to eat for free when visiting. I will say that housekeeping is very good~clean, laundry done BUT does not always make it back to the right resident. YOU must be aware-things get lost/stolen...don't keep anything of value in the rooms. It is what it is and serves the purpose needed but very sad. It is not the worst place but for the money could use improvements or cut in cost.

Overall I am happy with the care provided for my mom. The resident care assistants (I don't believe they are CNAs) are kind and caring. There are LPNs that oversee medication and medical issues. I follow my Mom's care, visiting twice a week and making sure anything that needs addressing is taken care of. She is able to have physical therapy there which has been very helpful. The activities director is wonderful and keeps the residents engaged.

Very nice Assisted Living Community. Their Harbor program is one of the better dementia units in the area. My father had been in another community in Stratford (hint: begins with the letter "A") and the care he received there was horrendous. Not as "secure" as one would think. Middlebrook Farms is far superior.

This is a beautiful facility. They change the decorating frequently and keep it looking lovely. I never feel like I'm going into an assisted living facility but more like a nice hotel. Dining is elegant. The staff is very friendly but the management has changed 3x in 1-1/2 years. My biggest concern is that they "assess" the client every 3 months and every part of the assessment is given a number. The numbers are added up and thats how they determine the care level and the monthly cost. Ours has gone up 3 times in the last 1-1/2 years (not including the yearly cost of living charge). Family has no say in this assessment. The monthly cost has gone from 4500 and change to 6700 and change. Something to think about before your loved one falls in love with this place.

From the moment we made contact with the Atrium at Faxon Woods, it felt like a place where my mom would get the care and attention she needs. She has Altzheimer's and is in a wheel chair, so she really needs all of her personal needs taken care of by another. I was surprised by how much they are able to do for my mother! After she broke her hip and could not rehab in order to learn to walk again, I was sure she would be in a nursing home for the rest of her life. That is not what I learned after seeing the Atrium!
