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.
I have a close relative who resides at Sanctuary Care and she loves living there where she has been for more than a year. Every time I visit, I can tell both by her wonderful surroundings, the great staff, and most importantly by the smile on her face that she is well cared for. Dealing with memory loss of someone close to you isn't easy. There is a lot of emotion involved and, frankly, caring for them is a difficult task. The last thing you need is to be worried or concerned about how they are being cared for. With Sanctuary Care, there is no need to worry. Laurie [removed], who runs Sanctuary Care, has always been very responsive to any requests or questions I have. She's dedicated her life to caring for people with memory loss and it shows and is also reflected in the care given by her staff. What I really like about Sanctuary Care is that it feels like a home environment and it reminds me of when I use to visit my aunt at her home. She seems to be just as settled and happy there.

As far as the caregivers go, they are very helpful and caring. I think that the food should be a little bit better than what it is though. They bring the food up in these warmers and usually it is not that warm and it is sort of old. I think everything else is okay though. I am happy with where my loved one is at.

They only take dementia patients, and the staff receives special training to work with them. As far as the staff goes, on a scale of 1-5, I would give them a 10, but it is expensive. Because it's so specialized and tailored for the special needs of dementia patients, I see that my aunt is more content and happier than I have seen her in years.

Everything is pretty good there. Sometimes I think some of the aides could do a little better with the laundry and housekeeping and such, but there are only a couple of little things like that. Otherwise they are very good. They keep us up to date on what is going on with my loved one. They take time to talk to you, they don't brush you off.

My experience with Tatnuck Park has been a very good one so far. I've been in a few different facilities in various areas and this place is definitely at the top of my list. The medical care they offer is top notch, and I also think they do a great job with their food and transportation services. I would recommend them!

We are thrilled with The Atrium. From the first time you walk in everyone is so pleasant and they really want to help. They welcome any question you and don't make you feel like they are put out. The staff are really good about walking you through the steps you need to know. It does not smell like a facility here, there is no odor. Everyone knows you by name. I have to say for the different places we have been they are extremely gracious. They are very accommodating. They have a lot of well coordinated activities for the Alzheimer's/dementia patients. No matter what issues we have come up with they have been very responsive. I am very pleased with this facility.

Coachman's Square was a fabulous choice on many levels. My mother(92) is actually happy here—loves the facility, the food, cleanliness, the staff friendliness and support. My father's(94) needs are well taken care of medically, physically and mentally. My brother and I have been given a gift, knowing that our parents are safe. It doesn't eliminate all that is involved in care-taking, but it certainly allows us the opportunity to go "AAAAH"

They helped with the paperwork as well as getting things set up with her doctor, and were just very accommodating in general. The staff is communicative and friendly, and the facility itself is clean and well kept. It's just a nice place overall, and I would highly recommend them!

They've done a wonderful job taking care of my loved one. However, they are also very VERY expensive, and unfortunately not a permanent option for my family due to the price.
