Our Family's Experience: Peace of Mind

I just have to say, to be honest nothing is perfect in life, hence the 4s rather than all 5s. But the overall experience with BRC has been a 5. The staff is fantastic: so friendly and warm with the residents. The administration was really helpful to me wrt my mother's needs and prognosis and placement within the community to best support her. I was not objective, and they gently but firmly guided me to accept that Mom needed more help than I realized. I see assisted living residents at BRC meeting in the common areas to read the paper together and discuss current events, or to watch sports or movies together. My mom is now in the memory care unit, and the activities there are all communal, which keeps the residents busy and with social interaction.

Everyone is courteous & helpful. And the food isn't too bad as my late Aunt would say. I would recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

I would 100% recommend Benchmark Ridgefield to other families

It's an overall 5. I could pick apart vs. the "higher end" place she was in before: not as many amenities and activities, but Mom doesn't need the extras she had been paying for. Every person at Benchmark Ridgefield is friendly and helpful to everyone, and so patient and sweet with the residents. I would 100% recommend Benchmark Ridgefield to other families. I feel like their staff went above and beyond to get to know my mom and tailor their care to her needs.

Could be better

The food (meals) have declined. Not much new for residents to do in over a year. When power went out, only the hall lights were powered by the generator. No lights are on in apartments during power outage.

Our families experience

Everything has been great. She's very happy there. Sometimes on weekends we have to wait long for someone to let us in to the Memory Care unit so if families could get some kind of passcode it would help. The staff is great. The place was recently redecorated and it looks great! They have a lot of activities too so we are happy.

Review for Benchmark at Ridgefield Crossings

My mom was in memory care and our experience there was awful. The nursing staff was not good. They gave me misinformation numerous times about my mother. For ex, they called me and told me she had a blood clot and when I returned their call, they told me that they made a mistake and the message was meant for another patient. I went one day to find my mother feeling so sick, sitting in the hall by herself. Once I got there, they realized they should've called 911. So if I didn't visit that day, I wonder what would have happened. Head of nursing staff was so unfriendly and ended up going on. A leave of absence which was necessary bc she was the most unfriendly person. One benefit of benchmark is that if you end up going to a hospital for over seven days, then they don't charge you the daily service fees.

Friendly home for mom.

I love that my mother in law has so many activities : painting class, lectures, concerts, exercise. One negative was that when she was sick and ordered oatmeal, they forgot to bring it. They also didn't bring another one that day. No one checked on her. She's happy with her apartment, though. It's spacious with a good view.

Wonderful experience

My Mom spent three years here and loved the friends she made and the caring staff. The lectures and activities and meals with her friends made life at Benchmark enriching. Mom had been living on her own for a long time and we were not sure how much she would like moving to an assisted living community but she simply thrived here.

Staff is very accommodating and friendly. Benchmark is able to take care of my mother's medical needs

It was a relatively easy transition for my mom. After meeting my mom they assigned her to a dining table where they thought she would enjoy the women at her table. It was a perfect match. The women are friendly and welcoming. She was given a buddy who walks with her almost every day. My mom has participated in several activities and has enjoyed having a social life again. If my mom needs help she wears a buzzer to summon an aide. The help is there if she asks for it. If my mom falls at has a cut they call me immediately and there is always a nurse on duty. I don’t worry as much about her since there is always someone there to help her.

Prices go up each year… a lot

My mother has been a resident here for the past two years. If I stack the cost against all of it, the care is decent, the place itself is also decent. However, be aware the costs they charge to be here go up every year, and not by a little. This January 2025 they raised the combined cost of her place and care by 10% from last year (with no change in level of care). While I understand costs are rising everywhere a 10% increase year over year is, in my opinion, an exorbitant amount. The company has their pre-written reasons to explain away the increases but I don't buy all of it. This feels like the rest of our healthcare system. Pass the cost onto the consumer while they make their high profits. Hopefully this is helpful to anyone doing their research on an assisted living facility. I contacted them with regards to this matter. They referred me to their director. I left her a message, I heard nothing back.

Wonderful community. Very caring staff

The staff was very kind. My mother passed away before my father and they were very supportive of my dad after mom's death. They had an any amazing way of checking on him without seeming intrusive. It's a really great place.

An Excellent Choice

My aunt seems to be very happy there and I feel comfortable that she is being well taken care of. My aunts apartment is reasonably well taken care of and is cleaned on a regular basis. The staff is always friendly and I feel that they know who my aunt is an care about her well being. The quality of care here is excellent which is the most important thing as far as I am concerned. If she has a health concern the Dr comes immediately and her aids are always attentive and respond quickly. My aunt feels her meals could use improvement but she is a fussy eater so I'm not sure how to rate this. I would say a 4. There are many activities and she participates and enjoys most of them. Benchmark is by our standards very expensive however I feel they are top rated and we are extremely satisfied to have found such a wonderful place.

Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Connecticut’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
