It was exceptional. The staff was absolutely amazing. The head staff, chef, nursing, LNA, down to housekeeping and volunteers were amazing. Staff would always come in to say hi to [name removed] and help her when she got terribly confused and the staff cried right along side of us when she passed away at benchmark. We were all surrounding her. She felt the love and compassion benchmark gave her each and every day. And I was there almost daily so I feel I had a good look at everything going on daily.

The staff has been amazing. They made it possible for us to bring her there when she was not willing. Totally scared us to have to do this. She was living alone and in dangerous situations when her home care left for the day. They took the time and patience to transition her , about 2 months before we could visit. Now she is very happy there thriving , socializing and safe

Overall - great. Activities are good. Apartment is great. Cleanliness is good (sometimes things are forgotten, i.e. laundry misplaced). Negative would've communicating between various staff doesn't always happen, i.e. new meds, changes in routine aren't handled smoothly through shift changes or communicated from Dr. to staff or back again. Also their are times that staff will ask my Mom with out including us and if my Mom is confused she'll give a wrong answer relative to her care

I was professionally and enthusiastically greeted by the receptionist. Overall the facility was clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and appear to genuinely love their jobs the residents, and I connected easily with the staff I encountered. I am just starting my journey of researching facilities so I don't have a comparison of the value for cost, however, this facility is in line with my thoughts and what I do know about the cost for memory care facilities. I was impressed with the studio apartment and private bathrooms in the units, although was a little concerned with the size of the studio, and wonder what it would feel like with furniture. Overall I definitely give this facility a 5-star.

MP is a very nice place to visit and to live. The apartments are a perfect size to take care of all your living needs. Very clean and welcoming. The spaces outside of your apartment offers so much for the renters to experience. Also the spaces they have for the families to come and visit and enjoy family gatherings with their family member is amazing.

I toured Kensington place with my family and was very impressed with the facility as a whole. The rooms for assisted living were generous and size. The dining area is beautiful. There were many opportunities for activities as well as transportation. We also toured memory care and we were very impressed with the small size of the community, the activities and engagement for the residents and everything that was offered. It was an immediate contender for consideration.

Genuinely friendly and caring staff, tremendous meals (especially breakfast ??!). Full interesting activities schedule all day long. I was there for 2 months while recovering from surgery, but the longer term residents all seem to enjoy their time at Benchmark Chelmsford Crossings. A wonderful interactive experience!
5 for each category. The staff, the friendly atmosphere, the fact that my husband is happy, the wide variety of activities and everybody knows your name.

Modern, helpfulness of staff to ensure a success transition that fit our budget constraints and desire to ensure our success. Great food, the gifting of a cranberry loaf had my neighbor staying signup. 100% closeness in proximity relieved substantial stress. Church members have already visited, ease of form submissions and tools online. I like the room that they have available to reserve for family events. Also made room on floor to match my mom's demeanor and with easy access best elevator which helped at move- in. Easily setup great services for speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy which has her walking better with a cane already. They don't seem to be fully able to follow instructions left by family due to instructions and details not being carried over from shift to shift.
