A Place for Mom has scored Benchmark Senior Living with 8.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score based on 539 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time, Benchmark Senior Living has 2,552 reviews with an average "overall experience" of 4.3 out of 5.
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.

They all get a 5! The staff is fabulous ready to help with any problem and so aren't the rest of the people here. Makes it easy to adjust. So far everything has beaten my expectations and glad to be a part of it. The wife's sentiments too. I cannot say enough about them!

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

I give the branches at Marlboro a 10 out of 10 in all categories. It was pricey but fortunately I had the money... I wish everyone could receive that kind of care and attention to detail. I loved the direct communication, and because we had an unfortunate situation, I appreciated the confidentiality. [name removed] was very happy there.

Cleanliness - slightly lower here since my mom often refuses service, but she really needs it given her condition. Dining/meals - surprisingly good and nice variety. Activities - activities were a main reason why we picked The Falls, as they are some of the exact things she likes (museums, art lectures, etc), but it's also frustrating that she often chooses not to participate. Value for cost - I struggle with this. The Falls is in an area with very high property taxes which makes them way more expensive vs other places within 20minute drive. But you do get what you pay for.

My loved one would rather the meals and dining service category much lower! However, my siblings and I feel that my mom is safe in her living situation and we no longer need to worry about her. Staff have been great with my mom and often are found interacting with her. Staff really seem to know the residents and it is just a comfortable atmosphere
