At Chelmsford Crossings we feel known and cared for by the staff at all levels. The staff are extremely present (from directors to aides) and involved and always take our requests seriously. The patience and kindness they show to my parent is quite wonderful and respectful. They really go the extra mile to make things smoother for my parent and my family. We are grateful to have found this wonderful facility.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. I have been satisfied with them. The relationship that I have built with the staff, director, and administrators is wonderful. They have been concerned about my loved one and my wellness. Benchmark is able to assist with medication management, hygiene, bathing, and more for my loved one. They will also make sure to get my loved one to activities to engage them with other residents. The food is really good and my loved one is happy with the soup. There is transportation provided by the community for the residents to use for doctor appointments.

Benchmark Senior Living at Robbins Brook in Acton, MA

My aunt finally feels happy with her life! Since losing her husband of 64 years she seemed lost and sad even while she was surrounded by our family. Since moving into Leominster Crossings, she has made many friends from her generation and stays physically and mentally active with them, thanks to the wonderful activity director. She also enjoys various 'parties' and celebrations with her friends at Leominster Crossings. A wonderful and recent example is the festive St. Patrick's Day party where the entire staff participated joyfully, and the Director sang some Irish songs with the wonderful Irish band. My aunt notices and appreciates this level of commitment, professionalism, and love,....and so does our family.

My Aunt, who has Dementia moved into Leominster Crossing a little over a year ago. She is a resident iof the Harbor Care Community. I thought that her transition from another Assisted Living Facility was going to be difficult for her, but the staff at Leominster Crossing were so helpful it was easy. The entire staff was so welcoming. Since that day I have enjoyed complete confidence & peace of mind that my Aunt is being very well taken care of. I visit often without prior notice & have many opportunities to observe how the caretakers interact with the residents & I admire their dedication. I can tell that it’s more than just a job for them. My favorite quote is: Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. The staff in the Memory Care Unit are Caring With Kindness.

The director was good during our loved ones stay, the nursing director was excellent and all the individualized care shown to our loved one that came from the CNA's was excellent. They really did care about my husband. The meals are facility food which is to be expected but overall the meals weren't bad. It was expensive but compared to other communities in the area the value was better that expected.

The staff and their care services have been really good so far. The meals used to be really good but because they recently switched chefs the meals are kind of a hit or miss. They do have a lot of activities aside from their daily activities, we enjoy that they bring in live entertainment. We feel like the rooms and gathering areas are nice and spacious.

The prices were raised recently for each month. My loved one is happy here and cared for. The staff are in communication with the family if there any concerns. Coloring, painting, music, games and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from. The staff are good at keeping the resident as engaged as possible.

My mother resides at Benchmark and I can honestly say that it has been the best decision of my life! The staff is so amazing! I wanted a place that is just like home, well I found it. The whole place knows your name and they know how to make your loved one feel accepted. With ALZ it is not easy on both my mom and us but BSL is there if I have any questions or concerns. I also LOVE all the activities. My mom calls me and raves about the bus tour they just went on to the beach or a tour around town. She loves that she can get out and see the world. I made the decision to go to BSL and I am so happy I made the choice. They all are an amazing group of people!

My name is Jim Lynch Jr. I moved my dad into Haverhill Crossing in early July 2021. I had no idea where to look for assisted living so I asked friends and searched the internet and the name Haverhill Crossing kept coming up as the place that people spoke so highly about. I wanted my dad to be in a good place. He is a very active 90 year old who was a runner up until last year. My first interview with Haverhill Crossing my dad and I were super impressed. The transition was very easy and my dad is very happy. He loves his apartment and said the food is delicious. My dad had hundreds of tee shirts from races he won that we didn't know what to do with and the activities director said let us make him a quilt the women here would love to make it for him. They did and my father was very happy. It was very special for his running friends and our family. My dad is very happy now and that's what's important to me. I want to say Thank You to all the staff at Haverhill Crossings for my dad's care.

It's been nearly 3 years since my mom has been residing at Chelmsford Crossings. During the last 2 challenging covid years, all I can say is THANK YOU to the community for keeping her safe! I appreciate the genuine care and concern the C.C. Team has toward each resident. From nursing, aides to dining staff & housekeeping they all take an interest & connect with each & every resident. The environment is extremely friendly which is very welcoming and gives that "family feeling" atmosphere. I also must mention , what a comfort it is to have nursing check in with mom and communicate any concerns that arises. I'm very grateful for these sets of eyes! To fulfill one's day, a variety of activities are offered. Live entertainment is LOVED by all and my mom enjoys bridge, book club and trivia. As our love ones age, we only want what is best for them. For mom & myself Chelmsford Crossing's is what's BEST. It truly give me Peace of Mind!

This is a wonderful place for your older family member to live out their older years in a place where they will be polite, friendly and keep their minds active. They have activities like singers, movies, veterans day celebrations, new year celebrations, cocktail hours and more to keep the residents busy and engaged at this community.

We chose Evans Park because it just seemed homier and it did not smell at all. The food is sometimes a mixed bag, but it is not horrible by any means. The room my mom has is beautiful and spacious. She has a little kitchenette as well. They painted it the colors she wanted and put in new flooring before she moved in. [name removed] does not say no to anything, it is always a yes. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

I want to just say that this Assisted Living facility and it's staff are phenomenal. From the front desk to the Executive Director, my parents and family have been treated with the utmost respect and heartfelt care. Before my parents moved in Evans Park even spent time with me and my brother to learn more about our parents: where they were born, how they grew up, how they spent their lives, what their likes and dislikes are and much more. Best of all, each staff person then uses this information to relate to our parents in a caring and personalized way. It is as if they are now a part of an extended family of caring friends. My parents are thriving like never before.

The location of the facility was great for our family. Also it wasn't some huge place, it was homey and had a garden area which was perfect for my mom. They have a lot of things to do to help stimulate the residents and keep them active and engaged. My mother is loving the activities, she is doing things she never thought she would do. I have seen a night and day difference in her in just a matter of months. It is expensive, but it is worth every penny. I would definitely recommend them.
