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 parents have been at Ridgefield Crossings for 3+ months and they often tell me how much they love it here. They had been in a community in FL that had soured, and we urgently needed to find a place where higher acuity needs were addressed, as well as a place that would embrace their beloved little yorkie. Music is available and activities are too. They do not always join. (I do wish there was a way to have my parents brought to the musical events on the assisted living side.) However the staff bends over backwards to keep all 3 happy, safe, well fed and in great health. My parents see them all as friends and neighbors. They shared today that nobody is bossy and everybody is friendly! The nurses are very synchronized in dispensing meds. The dining hours run like clockwork. These systems support dementia patients. Oh, and these two rave about the food! Btw the place is clean. Carpets in hallway have seen better days, but parents only see how pretty it is! So we do not discuss!

For the activities our mom does not participate in much she is almost 99. This kind of care is astronomical & not sustainable for the future in our opinion. Although mom currently has enough assets, at this pace they may not last. Our parents earned & saved all their assets - financially punished because they live so long!

We chose Benchmark because of the facility's ability to provide services according to the progression of needs. The apartments vary in size and configuration. Some have full kitchens (ours) some are studio. There are only 3 2 bedrooms in the entire facility. We have been waiting for one since we came. In the meantime we are managing. Storage space is very minimal!! (That would be the only negative thing about the facility )

I am very pleased with the excellent care my sister receives at Arbors. She was admitted during stressful circumstances. I can’t say enough about how well her transition was handled to her new home at Arbors. Her medical doctor, her behavioral health doctors, and the staff at Arbors worked tirelessly to create the circumstances where [name removed] could thrive. During my visits when we walk through the different neighborhoods, staff always call out her name and say hello. I feel she is a valued member of the community, and I am always warmly welcomed as well. I am forever grateful to Arbors for taking such compassionate care of my sister, and to A Pace for Mom for helping me find Arbors.

Their facility is so nice, inside and outside. It is off a main road with a beautiful setting and landscaping. [name removed], the lovely Director, was able to offer us a beautiful room on the 1st floor close to everything convenient for my mom, and worked with us on the financial aspect so it was as close to affordable as any place in the area. We liked the amount of residents, not overwhelmingly large. It was the first place we saw and didn't want to see any others. We were sold right then and there and have not had any regrets with our decision. My mom says every day how much she loves it there. Who can ask for more than that?! Everyone is so helpful and friendly! I cannot say enough good things about all of them. It is just the most wonderful place that you could have found for my mom.

Excellent in activities as they keep him busy with all sorts of art and music programs, word games, lots of staff led projects. As for value, I chose what turned out to be the most expensive facility, but it's the most convenient for me and family. Hope I can continue to afford it. Staff/resident ratio is very good. Everyone is very well trained. Only problem I can see is that there isn't always a nurse on duty late at night.
