Benchmark Senior Living

Within a couple of weeks, many staff members, at all levels and roles, knew our loved one's name. That impressed us. And, who wouldn't love ice cream socials every day???

I would recommend the community, however the cost is out of alot of elderlys budget. They should accept Medicaid.

They were great until my sister got sicker. They did their best but the cost got very high. My sister died there in hospice care The staff are all very nice and try their best.

Benchmark at Rye is a great facility for those who are seeking memory care. We chose this facility due to the location, the reputation that they have in the area and the presentation.

I would definitely recommend Benchmark to a friend. Since it is a smaller community there is a lot of personal service. The staff knows everyone and is attentive to their needs. We did have a bit of a communication challenge with the nursing staff but it is fine as long as you are proactive.

She has a one bedroom and the rooms are really nice and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped, although she doesn't really use it. The grounds are beautiful. She does go and sit outside once in awhile. The library comes in handy for her as she reads a lot and can't always find books on her kindle. And I found your website very helpful and all the places that responded were also very helpful.

I'm mostly happy with the facility. My mom enjoys the activities, & the staff are all very nice & friendly. The 2 negatives are the food has to be purchased from 1 supplier & the food is very bland & tasteless. The soups have little in them & my mom is used to the very chunky loaded with vegetables, meat & pasta & flavor that I cook. I've eaten there a couple times & even the fresh made Belgian waffles were a disappointment. Residents have spoken to chef in group meetings, but they said they can't make changes. The other negative is I've needed to get in to see my mom for emergencies & overnight desk person wasn't readily available to open locked doors. That is not acceptable. Overall tho, my mom is happy, making friends & enjoying the activities.

Beautiful entry with friendly and professional staff. The apts are very nice and roomy. Dining hall is nice for the regular residents. For the dementia folks it's not as nice.

I would recommend it. Staff was wonderful.

I would absolutely recommend Branches. It's been one of the best decisions our family made for our mom. They've been accommodating in helping my mom go from the main assisted living quarters to the memory care unit.

My dad liked being at the atrium. I thought he would have received better health care, but I guess that's not what they do. My dad contracted shingles on his face, and it took a while to be treated correctly. Overall, it was a much better place than the nursing home he is in now.

My loved one is no longer there but the nurses were all great! Based on the experience we had with The Atrium, we would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

Nice place, great people. The only downside to the place is the individual hvacs are old, and need replacement parts that apparently are very hard to get. So the heat is always on.

The facility is clean and bright. The bedrooms are quite nice. The staff are so cheerful and energetic - I can't commend them enough for their positive and caring attitude. [name removed] really enjoys the daily activities, especially the field trips! My biggest frustration is how my husband's clothes and glasses go missing, some forever. [name removed] has lost, I don't know how, two pairs of prescription glasses in less than a year.

My loved one is currently a resident at Blenheim Newport and the experience has been overall very good so far. The cleanliness, friendliness and staff are very good. Based on our experience, I would recommend Blenheim Newport to others as an Assisted Living option.

My loved one is currently a resident at Chestnut Park At Cleveland Circle and overall the experience has been good. The cleanliness and the activities are okay. The friendliness and staff are great. I would recommend Chestnut Park At Cleveland Circle to others.

My loved one is currently a resident at MiddleBrook Farms at Trumbull and the overall experience has been very good for her so far. The staff are all very caring and make you feel at home. I would recommend MiddleBrook Farms at Trumbull to others.

I checked 14 other facilities in Massachusetts, this was the best one for the care my mother needed.Some others were fancier, but this is all dementia care which was important, that everyone was focused on Dementia Care.They also offer End of Life care so when that time comes, I don't have to keep moving her around .It is pricey unfortunately, so I had to work with the financial guys to make sure it would work.I see how they interact with her, which is great.

Don't put a loved one there unless they are in advanced stages of dementia or Alzheimer's.. I took my loved one out because she wasn't in advanced stages. It was not the right fit.

Super friendly place. Everyone knows the name of all the residents. Very caring people work there More physical activity/engagement is needed - particularly music and exercising to music - and a less reading aloud to residents.
