Benchmark Senior Living

My aunt had a rocky start due to many changes in a short amount of time. She now looks at Orchard Valley as her home and loves it. The staff is great from administration down to health care helpers. The maintenance people are always willing to also help. The dining room is much like a restaurant and offers choices. There are always many activities to choose from on a daily basis. The staff's first concern is to help residents and their families. We are so glad to have chosen Orchard Valley . It is our second experience of choosing Orchard Valley for a loved one. The staff is wonderful and always greets us with a smile .

We found the setup to be good for Dad. We were in the Harbor which is the memory care facility. The design of the building was good as Dad needed to be able to walk around independently without feeling like an "inmate." Because the entire building was devoted to memory care, he had a bit more freedom in that regard. As well we found the staff to be caring and supportive. In some ways it felt like a positive child care arrangement where there was genuine affection for the residence. The elderly need to feel loved and appreciated. East Farms staff seemed loving and nurturing. We also found the geriatrician to be better than others we'd dealt with.

The Solana is really state of the art and includes tastefully decorated rooms / big windows, views and light. The rooms are spacious and the service people are pleasant and concerned. I don't feel pressured in any way. The value is very good. I'd love a little more variety in meals that include more cooked vegetables-easier to digest than salad- and a little more stimulation in the activities for example listening to music - show tunes, classical/discussion and/or problem solving using 1000 piece puzzles. Promotes cooperation

My loved one lived here for a brief time, and from what we experienced they do an excellent job here. The level of care just wasn't entirely appropriate for my loved one, which is why we moved him. He was not quite at the level of memory care that Sanctuary provides for, and was feeling out of place. But for those who need that level of assistance this looked like a wonderful place. The staff were all very friendly, the facility itself was clean and attractive, and the care they provided looked very good.

My Mom did not like any assisted living places I found until Greystone Farm. They friendliness and the level of care really sold us all. Since their move to Greystone the staff have worked hard to assist my parents medically and personally. The food is fantastic as well!! My Dad came to Greystone after being in rehab for a hairline fracture of his knee and was/is in a wheelchair. They have supported him with physical therapy so that he does not have to go elsewhere for the service. They put such personal touches on all they do for their residents

The Village has received glowing reviews from my two former sitters who have visited my father there. I am completely satisfied by the care my father is receiving. There is very little staff turnover. The staff at every level seem to be very good. Everyone in the place seems to know all the residents and what their care needs are. They have staff meetings often. My father's room is attractive and airy. There are a lot of activities. It is an excellent facility! It's expensive, but perhaps because of that I feel that the quality of the residents is high also. It is surprisingly easy to get to and has its own traffic light, which is a great help. It is near shopping areas, so you can bet other things done when you drive there for a visit. They also listen to my opinions about my father's care and try to accommodate my requests.

We used this community for a few weeks of respite care for my loved one, and I thought they did an excellent job. They really went out of their way to make sure that Mom got engaged in the activities, and she really seemed to enjoy all the different things they had to offer. She also said the food was great! Other than a few minor housekeeping issues things couldn't have gone better, and I'd definitely recommend them as an option for respite care!

People are very friendly. Lot's of activities. Nice location.

They seem to have activities going on all the time. They frequently have musicians come in and play for the residents. The residents can go outdoors where there is a nice courtyard. They also have a small bus and can take a few residents out shopping, or on trips. They have at least two choices for every meal. In fact, I think they eat better than I do! The food is pretty good. Nashua Crossings is almost like a country club! We are pretty satisfied and happy with everything they do. One thing that was nice... is that I had to move all my mother's furniture and clothing in, and Rob the director is really nice... he had some of the staff help me carry the furniture in. I highly recommend Nashua Crossings.

So far we have been very pleased with the services provided by Haverhill Crossings. The facility itself isn't the nicest or the newest place we saw, but the staff are all very friendly and professional and they've been able to provide all of the care that my loved one needs.

She did not want to go and within two days she was in love with them. When she went to the hospital their nurse came to visit and tell her they were waiting for her to come back. They really cared for her. I can't say enough. I was just amazed. She was making. We are so happy that she was so happy. When you walk down the hall you would think you had known everyone for years. Even after my mother passed, they call me to see if there is anything they can do. I can't imagine anyone not giving them one hundred percent.

We were generally very satisfied with the services my loved one received at Sanctuary Care at Rye. The staff were all very friendly, and did their best to keep the place looking clean and well kept. Many of the residents were at the point in their dementia where they were not entirely aware of their actions and wandered in and out of other patients rooms, but from what I saw the management and care staff did their best to guide the residents, and were always patient and kind. Overall, however, they did a good job. They provided the care my loved one needed, it was always clean, and the food wasn't bad.

I was nervous moving my mom in at age 83 after living alone for years but it was the best thing I did. She loves it and has made friends and socializes. The staff are all wonderful and the residents are well taken care off. It is very clean and beautiful!

It’s expensive, but it’s good. From what we signed up for, the care services are very good. The activities keep my loved one busy – there are lots of them. My loved one is very, very happy. Everyone seems very friendly.

When my Dad's alzheimers got really bad I didn't know what to do. I called A Place For Mom and spoke to a wonderful man named Jeff LaGoy. He made me feel so much better. He gave me lots of information and different options. I was afraid that we would never be able to afford Greystone but he told me lots of things we could do to help with that - like using my Dad's Veteran's Benefits. We went to see Greystone the next day and they were WONDERFUL! Every person we met was calm and patient and compassionate. The staff there is great with my Dad and so upbeat and energetic. He is very happy there and my Mum can finally get some sleep. I can't say enough great things about Greystone or a Place for Mom.

They have a high male to female ratio … We were tired when we visited, but the woman was so nice that it just made it a good experience. She called us ahead of time. We were very pleased with them. We would have loved to be able to place our loved ones here. It would have been a good match personality wise, but state regulations and proximity to family members meant we needed to select a different community.

It's excellent, excellent. The reasons we were there was for the greater care. Our loved ones are very happy there. All the communities are pretty expensive. Another reason we went there was because their dietary service can meet one of my loved one’s food needs. In general, one of the things that turned us on to this community was how close it was to relatives.

It’s established with a very good reputation. I haven’t seen anything unpleasant in the multiple times I’ve been able to visit the community. My mother says the food is good. There are outside areas for loved ones to use.

I think they are excellent.

They've been absolutely wonderful so far! The staff are friendly, professional, and extremely accommodating. They were incredibly helpful during our search and move-in process and really saved the day during a stressful time. They're always very responsive in terms of both care and communication with families. The facility itself is always clean and well kept, and the services and activities provided are great. The only complaint I'd have is that they could have a bit more of a focus on evening activities, and I'd like to see them show more modern films when they watch movies.
