A Place for Mom has scored Benchmark Senior Living with 8.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score based on 528 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time, Benchmark Senior Living has 2,440 reviews with an average "overall experience" of 4.3 out of 5.
I'm telling you, I cannot praise the staff enough. They were so wonderful to my husband and myself. It was a little on the expensive side. I saw the other residents really getting engaged and social in the activities. The parking seemed to be somewhat limited. They were the only ones of the places we looked at ready to help. And the director of nursing was able to see through the medication he was on during the assessment. They really embraced both of us, he passed away, and even now some of them will call and check on me and see how I am doing.

My only concern is the way the prescriptions are done, the pharmacy they use isn't a preferred pharmacy (at least for our insurance) and this may cause issues. They will work with you and let you change pharmacies but families may want to look into that, or be aware of it. Other than that hiccup we are happy. The food is delicious, I don't know how they get their pork chops so tender. They are clean and friendly, and quick to respond to needs and concerns. There are plenty of activities.

My mother is very happy with her care and her new surroundings! She loves the food and has met a lot of interesting people. Her apartment is very nice and just the right amount of living space for her. The staff has been very helpful to her (and to me) in helping her make a smooth adjustment to assisted living.

The whole experience was great from the search to move in. The staff at Putnam Farms is fantastic. They made my mom feel at home through the process and especially for the first few days after move in. Even on move in day The staff went out of their way to introduce themselves to our family and spend time with my mom to ease any anxiety. The facility is great and nicely decorated. Food is fantastic and there are plenty of activities all day long. My mom loves her new home. I would highly recommend Putnam Farms.

They haven't said no to anything I've asked, they are very accommodating. The food is pretty good. They need more guest parking. I really like the staff and the facility is beautiful and the apartment space is nice. You could tell by the way that they interacted with the residents, that they really care, they knew everybody's name and are very friendly.

We're very pleased with this place so far. The accommodations are very very nice, the one room apartment we picked out is very spacious. One of the main reasons we selected this place is that they've got a great program for veterans. I'd give them top marks across the board, it's a great looking place, the staff are all friendly, and the care and activities are good.

A Place for Mom is a wonderful service and without my advisor, I would not have found Arbors. Arbors was a perfect match for my mom's needs. As soon as I walked into the reception area, it felt homey. The tour of the facility was impressive. The building itself was clean, the atmosphere was warm and friendly, the residents welcomed me and talked about how much they liked it there. The staff is amazing, from the front desk, to the administration, to the direct care staff. On my first visit to see mom, she looked happy and content. She said she loved it there. It was like a permanent vacation. God bless my mom and all her caregivers. I happily recommend Arbors to other families currently caring for aging parents, who may start recognizing their loved one will need more care than the family can provide in the future.

I have been very impressed with the staff, services, food and activities at PC. Most important though has been the care and compassion that the nusing aides have demonstrated. My Mom needs level III care which means she needs help with everything from bathing to dressing and everything in between and from what I have observed and what my Mom tells me - the nursing aides and the nurses are very patient, helpful and compassionate. I know it's not easy work at times but they always treat my Mom with respect. I also want to say that Hanna, the food services director and Jane the activites director have been terrific in reaching out and making sure my Mom and our family needs are addressed. They provide personalized service and attention. Kelly the Community Director really helped me with all the details in getting my Mom transitioned into Plymouth Crossing. from an appearance standpoint - I don't think you could ask for anything more. everything always looks and smells clean and up-to-date. They do a terrific job decorating for the holidays making it feel more like "home". I think the best wat to say it is that everyone I meet there seems to really be aapssionate about their work and the place they work for and that comes across in how they treat each resident and the family members.

First of all, Elaine was very understanding, knowledgable, & caring. She followed through efficintly and called me to check on our progress. She called and referred us to Denise at Sanctuary who was so accomodating and fleible about our need for immediate placement. She bent over backward to give us a tour and come in on her time off to get paperwork done. She handled my Mom expertly and kindly. All the staff members (front desk, aides, recreation dept., memory care person) are friendly, caring, respectful and try very hard to please both family and resident. Even the chef cares and makes accommodations as needed with fresh homemade meals. The nurses & physical therapy are equally professional, knowledgeable and caring. They are able to make adjustments and suggestions for improvements, as needed. During a recent hospitalization for my Mom, the staff sent teh appropriate medical records wiht her, kept in touch with me and other family members as well as visiting my Mom in hte hospital for evaluation. I couldn't have found a better place for my Mom and as a medical provider, I am very picky. Plus the place is beautiful and well laid out.

Mom has lived here before, and the service was great. Unfortunately this community specializes in memory care, which isn't what Mom was needing for long term care. This location was also not good for us in terms of being convenient for family to get to, but otherwise it was very good, and they treated Mom great.

We've been very pleased with everything here so far. They take great care of Mom, the staff are all very friendly and helpful, and they keep her busy with plenty of activities. They do a Saturday van ride around town to a few locations that she seems to really enjoy. We did have one minor issue when it came to her care, but they resolved it quickly and were happy to make the changes we needed.

The place is very, very clean. They are very friendly, too friendly, they creep me out. When I did research they are in line for this section of the country price wise. They offer a wide variety of activities. We use the Alzheimers care. The availability of services and their honesty is what made me choose this community. I felt that others were sort of a bait and switch. The staff seems to be just wonderful it's a really nice facility and is being cared for very well!l

I have all high praise for them. My mother is there. I thought my mom was beyond assisted living. We were please with them from the beginning. I think we signed my mother up that day! She didn't know she was going. They told us what had to be done and we did it. I go to visit her and she still says she doesn't know why she's there because there's nothing wrong with her but she doesn't know she has dementia. The care is excellent. Mom looks better than she has. When she was home all she wanted to do was sleep. She's walking better, eating better, they're taking care of her. I know that they encourage her to participate in the activities. They have bus trips once or twice a week. I know she was going once a week but now that the weather is colder I don't know if she's going. She's made some friends. One thing is the cost. It is expensive and I just wish they would take like maybe title 19. I know they don't. That's the only drawback; it's expensive. I love all of the staff there. I even bring my dog in there to visit and everyone is so nice, even the people that are there, the patients, get a kick out of the dog. They come and pet the dog and everything. I wish there was something else to be done with the cost but other than that it's been wonderful. I love the director there and they have an Alzheimer's support group every month.
