A Very Pleasant Place

My brother was very picky and unhappy there because he just wanted to go back home. He complained a lot about the food. I felt the staff bent over backwards to get us in there, but once we were there, there was often a lack of communication and not as much warmth as there was at the beginning. My brother didn't care to socialize, but I found the people there very pleasant. They set up his meds with PillPack, so he was getting the medications he needed, and he was also getting the help he needed with showering.

Tour of Crescent Point

I toured Crescent Point at Niantic and they were going through some renovations at the time. I actually took two tours; during the first one she took a lot more time to show us everything as we were just beginning our search. The second tour was not as thorough, perhaps because I already knew it. I saw their memory care area during my second tour as I didn't see it during the first one. We chose another community because we got more bang for our buck, and the apartments were much nicer.

Our experience with The Branches

There was a lot of turnover of staff and a lot from agencies. The first activities director they had was WONDERFUL but then the others did not stay very long. They had some really really good staff - but they just could not keep them which was disappointing and caused a lack of care. He did not get what he needed. The facility itself is very attractive and has a wonderful layout for memory care - his room was lovely and had a lot of natural light.

My loved one really enjoys, the interaction with other people. She engages in social activites-, and was alone before being around others. She really enjoys bingo and exercise classes. Overall, it has been a positive experience. There was an issue with care services, which included two showers per week, and she was only gettinf one but that issue has been resolved. Overall, I am very happy.

a nice community

Institutional food is hard to please everybody with and we do understand that, but we do wish they could acknowledge better when residents are vegetarian so that can be an improvement. However when it comes to the activities they bend over backwards for them, they are great. The overall value for the money seems to be more on the reasonable end of things we compared it to. We would definitely recommend this community to other families based on our experience so far

In general it is one of the better places but they do need some improvements - the food needs to be improved and they are short staffed. It is a sign of the times and with their not being enough staff, the staff that is there working are stressed and do not always necessarily present a good face to the clients.

Tour of Benchmark

I toured Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree. The community tour and first impression were both good. However, they weren't not available/open for respite stay. We would've had to bring in furniture, etc., for a 3 week stay. We chose another community because Benchmark couldn't provide what we needed at that moment.

The community outreach is very, very strong. Some of the staff haven't been delivering what they should have; however, it is on the upswing. There has been some transition of key staff members, and they have a new Food Service Director in place now. I am hopeful with the new changes of the key staff members.

Warm and Caring Atmosphere with Wonderful Staff

The care is excellent, and the staff is wonderful and attentive. The community needs to modernize the activities for younger residential cliental. I believe that the music is from the 20s and 30s and they need to update it up to the 60s. The community is willing to work with the residents to try and find items that the residents will eat. The menu is a lot of pasta and meat options. It would be nice to offer more veggie choices, especially fresh veggies. Again, they are trying their hardest in finding the foods that the residents will enjoy, and I believe this deserves high marks. The nursing the staff are top rate as well.
