Community Reviews
It was much more expensive than what we were looking for.
reviewed on: 10/27/2015 by AnonymousMy 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.
Nice Amenities!!
reviewed on: 09/12/2017 by AnonymousI had recently taken a tour of this community for my loved one and I have no complaints of how things had went. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. I thought they had a nice floor plan with lots of great amenities for the residents throughout the building. It was just not the right location for us in the end decision.
Not A Friendly Layout!
reviewed on: 11/15/2016 by AnonymousThe 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.
Mom is now thriving!
reviewed on: 03/30/2016 by Ann BonavitaMom has only been at Benchmark for 1 month; however she is now thriving again. Benchmark was so welcoming and caretaking of not just Mom but our entire family. The genuine level of care and attention that each member of the staff shows is life affirming. It is difficult to judge value when our exposure to the assisted living community is so narrow; however, I can say that the costs were on the lower side of normal for the area. The costs when stacked against the life Mom has now versus living on her own in an apartment with her family visiting nights/weekends and services maxed through the elder services is priceless. I only wish we had done this a year ago.
Love One In Good Hands In this Community
reviewed on: 08/11/2017 by AnonymousThis was a big transition for my brother, and his move to this community. However I do feel he is safe, and in good hand. The staff is wonderful , and they really try their best to understand him, and his needs. They go out of their way to make sure he is well cared for. The community is well-kept, everything looks great when I visit. They provide nice meals, and have activities available for him whenever his ready to participate. I'am satisfied with everything they have done for us, and I would highly recommend it.
