A shining beacon in a sea of overwhelming elder care in Connecticut

I would do a five for pretty much everything. They've been quite outstanding. I'm happy with the amount of service we're getting he likes the food. they have plenty of great activities, but he does not involve himself, but they're always doing something which is nice to see the only drawback that I have is that every time there's a shift change, they change his Depends diapers. So we're going through quite a bit of them even though I've asked them to not change it if he isn't wet yet. But sometimes it's up to six a day that are used. Other than that, staff is fantastic, outstanding polite, really kind and courteous to its residence. My father is in the memory care wing so there's a lot of hands-on with the staff couldn't say anything negative really. I hope others find this assisted living facility comfortable and clean. It is a nice option in this area.

Excellence In Every Regard!

It is impossible to. emphasize enough how wonderful an experience it has been to be working with the staff at Coachman Square. If I had sat down and written the criteria which would have made the perfect interaction and help, all of them would have been met and exceeded! [name removed]s simply incredible! Her help and care could not possibly have been better: she defines that which is the true professional. The facility is amazing, and I am confident I could not find one that is as wonderful. In short, Coachman Square is the perfect place for you to consider as you plan the next change in your life!

Exactly what we were looking for at the right time.

The staff here has been great. My mom has been in the memory care unit since just before Christmas. She is very happy and feels safe. It’s so nice to finally spend my time with her as a daughter and not a caretaker. They have been so kind and patient with her and I’m so relieved to have found this place.

First and foremost, my Mother in Law, my husband and I, and the staff at Benchmark are partners in ensuring her care and lifestyle is exactly what she needs. They aren't afraid to meet her where she's at physically and mentally on any given day. We're pleased at the level of engagement she has with the other members there too.

Excellent, loving care

My mother has been at benchmark for three months. Her care here has been exceptional. The facilities are wonderful and the food is great. Most importantly, the loving care that she’s received is tremendous. The nurses and aids are attentive and exceptionally loving. There are many examples of me walking into the room and an aid is sitting by her side, holding her hand. They call her “beautiful“ and often give her a kiss on her forehead. One aid offered to come in on a day off to wash her hair, another aid went to lunch and brought back a dessert for her, the list goes on.

Pleased with our choice of the Village at Kensington Place

This is a smaller place where one gets to know all of the staff and other residents. The staff are excellent and able to individualize care. Many of them have been there for years because they like working there. The apartment we have is very comfortable with big windows looking out at the woods. The restaurant style dining room is very nice. Excellent chef with a full menu and a couple of specials every day for both lunch and dinner
