Benchmark Senior Living

[Name removed] has had a successful transition. The staff at Middle Brook Farms is top notch - kind, responsive and attentive. It's very clean and the care has been great. Thank you!

The Village at Kensington in Meriden CT is a wonderful place for my mom. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It is very clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. My mom enjoyed the delicious meals that were served. They always provided any extra requests happily. The activities were wonderful. So many choices for everyone’s interests. All the residents have pendant or wrist call button. A capable staff member responded very quickly when ever the button was pushed. The button could be pushed for minor requests or more serious issues. They were always pleasant and helpful. Safety of the residents is primary. I can’t say enough good things about this “new home” for my mom. It sounds too good to be true but it really is a wonderful place.

My spouse has recently passed. I cannot begin to express how I happy I am that I placed my husband at this facility. The staff loved my husband and treated us like family. How great is that?? !!!! The staff treated my husband with dignity and respect and tailored his care to meet his individual needs. It was the best decision I ever made!!

Mom is very happy with her apartment, the dining room and especially all the fun activities. I'm glad she is in a safe and friendly environment. The staff is great.

Wonderful caring and responsive staff. Very respectful and helpful. Food is delicious. The facility is immaculately clean. The facility leadership has vision and supports a caring, fun, and respectful experience. I would highly recommend this facility.

Looking for an assisted living or memory care facility for your loved one(s), then look no further than Bedford Falls in Bedford, NH. My wife and I invested a significant amount of time researching and vetting facilities within 30 miles of our home for my Dad, who we needed to move from Florida to NH. We had some complexities in our situation (but then again, who doesn’t in cases like this) Of all the places we visited, Bedford Falls stood out in every category. Not only did the facility stand out in terms of cleanliness, amenities and design, but the staff really got our attention. Everyone we encountered during the three tours were welcoming and genuinely friendly. We interviewed several folks our age who had parents at Bedford Falls and all gave glowing reviews. The parent company routinely gets high marks from employees as a great place to work, and this was important to us, as the positive company experience translates directly to great resident care. The high level of care offered by Bedford Falls is what sealed the deal. They are staffed by need, not by headcount. My Dad has now been a resident at Bedford Falls for 3 months and we are extremely pleased. I am continuously blown away with the support we receive from [Name removed] and his staff. My Dad’s situation is complex and fluid, and [Name removed] has successfully adjusted on the fly to meet all our needs. Most importantly, my Dad is happy at Bedford Falls. He is a 30 year veteran of the nursing home industry who has very high standard for senior care (translated: he is VERY picky) . He loves the staff and enjoys the food (this is critical!) We are incredibly grateful to [Name removed] and the amazing staff at Bedford Falls who have helped make this difficult situation as smooth and as supportive as possible. They always go above and beyond what I would normally expect. I am very comfortable knowing that my Dad is in the best place receiving the best care possible given his circumstances. We cannot recommend Bedford Falls strongly enough!

I was very impressed with Benchmark. it is one of my top choices

I nearly cried when I saw a group of staff at the front door when I brought my Auntie [name removed] to the Arbors in Bedford, NH. We had been asked to be there at 430pm, and this crew was waiting for her! She was so very pleased, as was I, when she noticed the sign, "Welcome [name removed]". I am very pleased with your staff and she seems very happy! Thank you for making my decision to place her a good decision!

Clean, well maintained facility with great food. But the staff is what separates Bedford Falls. Very caring and thoughtful!!!

This Benchmark is a nice facility off the beaten path in Worcester, which I liked. It was quiet, and comfortable, and very inviting. Again, a Benchmark highlight is that everyone is very friendly, happy, and social, from staff to residents. I would recommend this facility, and this was second on my list to the Benchmark Shrewsbury Crossing.

I think this senior living facility is awesome, and so hope to be able to get my mom in here in the near future. Upon arrival, it is very welcoming, and the staff and residents are all so happy. They really took the time to review my mother's needs, and guided me to the whole process. In the end, it is at the top of our list for my mother.

Went to review the memory care unit and were impressed by the staff who have been there a long while. Care is well integrated and flexible. Has a nice enclosed garden. Not the loveliest location but with memory care the exterior is less important.

Evolve is a warm friendly community. Bright, immaculate, updated and welcoming. I liked the circular structure of the building that surrounded a courtyard. In the courtyard were raised gardens, beautiful sculpture and big weather proof wicker seating. French doors opened to this courtyard. Why do I describe this. Residents freely can go in and out of the building from all sides. Some residents are not tucked away in their own "secure" neighborhood, meaning locked in. At 92, my mother with dementia, Alzheimer type, is still highly physically functional. She would know she is locked away from the rest of the community. This is why Evolve's architecture impressed me. The Incoming residents can bring their own furniture. More important the residents no matter their depth of journey were interacting with the staff, who smiled to say hello to me. Transitioning my mother into a memory care community is likely the hardest journey for me. As I walked through the building I noticed family members coming and going and this was near to lunch-time. I told they come to have lunch with a resident. I felt a sense of peace in this place. Evolve in a nutshell, is like walking into a home not an institution.

My son and I received an excellent tour of this facility and were very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire facility and friendliness of the staff and residents. Although I’ve since ruled out this facility based on my current needs I may consider it again when my health and immediate concerns merit an update. Thank You for your effort. Respectfully, [name removed]

My husband was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease when he was 54 years old. When his symptoms became worse and the disease progressed to the middle stages, I struggled with attending to his needs. Thankfully, after my husband was sent to Atrium at Faxon Woods I was able to relieve my stress as the staff there were very professional and supportive. They helped my husband transition smoothly into his new living space, which was spacious and designed specifically for patients in need of memory care. They also provided assistance in the form of onsite doctors, dental and hair salon services, and a variety of healthy meals during my husband’s time at Atrium. I am thankful that he received a great deal of attention and care there.

AMAZING community. You walk in and everyone says hello. Such a feeling of home. A very positive atmosphere.

We moved our Dad from another facility to Mariner's Point and we're so glad we did. Communication is key, and MP has been wonderful. Everyone from the receptionist, to nursing, to the director has returned each of our call and emails. The facility is beautiful, food is good, desserts are the best (dad's a big ice cream fan). We're very happy with Mariner's Point, where it seems, everyone cares.

Beautiful community. [Removed] was an excellent tour guide. Hopefully, we can get my aunt into this community very soon. Great atmosphere! Residents look happy and well cared for. Very happy having discovered this community.

[Removed] at A Place for Mom was fabulous. I was online looking at options for my mom at 9pm on a Friday and she called me right away. We ended up talking for almost an hour. The following morning a gentleman called me from the facility and next Thursday we were having lunch there. Everybody in the community is great here. I have said it to many people; you feel like everybody reaches out to you. They are all there to do their job, but also they feel like a family. The wait staff is kind, nice, and just unbelievable. They have a doctor there who has now become my parent’s doctor. I can’t tell you how many people and how many times they check in on my father. Before he was in bed for 1 ½ months straight and he wasn’t doing much of anything. Because of his condition he was administered medication 4 times a day. I asked if we could switch to 3 times a day and from that is when everything changed. Now he will talk to the wait staff, he will actually engage in conversation, and everybody that I met would not believe the difference in my dad. My mother kept saying that she felt like they’re on their honeymoon. She went to Europe and went out to eat often. Here she and my father go to the dining area and the waiter would take their order. The waiter is from Italy and he would know the places that my mother would tell him about. He would sing with them too during meals. It is such a wonderful place. There’s dignity, it’s like an apartment place, and I even stayed overnight there. They have things going on all the time like the media room where residents can go and watch a movie. The facility is a safe and secured place. The doors lock at 8pm and you have to push a button to have someone come and let you in. They’re all lovely people, the transition has been really nice, and there’s not enough good things to say. I can walk out of here and not have to worry about my parents at all. I know that they are under great care.

Very nice facility, warm, friendly people. Looked like good options for dementia care.
