Benchmark Senior Living

Earlier this year we considered several assisted living community for my mom. We ultimately chose Ridgefield Crossings because upon visiting, the staff and caregivers seemed to be so friendly and solicitous of the residents. Now that she has been living there for more than three months, we could not be happier with our choice. The transition to assisted living can be a trying time for the resident and family, but the people at Ridgefield have made the difference. Our initial impression has been confirmed - the Ridgefield staff has been so friendly and helpful. Whether it is providing healthcare support, social integration, or just being there to answer questions, they have been terrific. The team at Ridgefield is to be commended for building and nurturing a culture of resident support and satisfaction. It is probably not a coincidence that the residents seem to be so happy there - the positive staff culture is contagious. Overall we are very happy with the community and our moms care.

I was dreading moving my mom from her previous assisted living place to a memory care facility. It was the best thing I did. She is smiling, more communicative and I swear her memory is a tad better. An environment where she is looked after and nourished makes a big difference,

We love Ashland Farm! My father has been at this community for almost two years and he is very happy and well cared for. I cannot say enough about the friendly staff and management team who are very attentive and caring to my fathers needs. Assisted living is indeed costly, but I feel my father is getting the wonderful quality of life he deserves. I would highly recommend Ashland Farm!

We love this place! The people, the care, everything. Our mother is receiving the care and support she needs at this point in her life, and that's a huge relief for the family.

My dad moved in last week, they have exceeded all expectations !

This is a new community that just opened and dad is settling in very well. The people were involved and friendly. They take care of his medicine for him. They will engage him in the daily activities. He has a 1bdr 1bath with a shared kitchenette. Housekeeping will come in weekly to clean. It also has a nice patio area with a pit out there. They offer 3 good meals a day with snacks as needed. I would recommend this to families.

I am amazed about the number of activities provided for the residents.

My Mom lives here currently on the memory care side. It’s still a very new facility so there aren’t a lot of other residents at the moment. The place is nice and they’re working with her to try and help with the adjustment. The food is good, she’s eating well, and they do a good job of trying to provide different options for her to choose. They have a few activities available like crafts, exercise, day trips to different places nearby, and different games. Overall, it’s a nice place and the staff really does a good job. It’s very professionally run and all of the RCAs are very nice. I would definitely recommend them.

I went on a tour here and it was nice. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. The rooms were a decent size. It was a little big and thought it would be overwhelming for my mom. I had lunch here and the food was good.

My mom has been living at the Village at Kensington Place for a little-over two years. Her beautiful apartment is decorated with her furniture and things that she loves. She is independent, but knows that if she needs help, it's a push button away. In all this time, we have no complaints at all. Zero. The facility is lovely. The food is great and well presented. There are activities every day: meaningful things to do for residents and families. The staff knew my mom's name the very-first day. She felt welcome and valued. She has joined groups that suit her needs and talents. If I have any questions and/ or concerns, the administrator is on site nearly every day. Look at their Facebook page. There are hundreds of photos of residents, staff, family. My mom chose this community herself, and we all are grateful for the wonderful community atmosphere at the Village. Over-two years and zero complaints. For real: ZERO.

This is a nice community. The staff is nice and very caring to my mom's needs. The menu is good and she pleases with the menu. The community does try and keep her active with the others in the activities that are helpful. I like knowing that my mom is getting the care that she is needing. We would recommend the care from this community for other families wanting good care for a good value.

Mom is not doing too bad she has adjusted to her new surroundings quite well. It's a very nice place very clean and kept looking good. She is doing some of the activities they are offering. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Overall she likes the food they offer 2 choices at dinner time and if she doesn't like what they are offering they will accommodate her and make her what she would like.

The nurses are pleasant and attend to mom nicely. Mom enjoys the social activities and attending mass. She has a nice apartment like a home away from home. She seems to like the food and they do offer some variety. She had made friends. There is a salon and a doctor on site. She is able to see a dentist here. They keep the community looking great. It feels like home when you walk in and I would recommend it.

My mother is doing well since her move to this community. It is great facility with kind people. All the staff have been great. The nurses are taking good care of her, and her needs. They have also been great with their communication. Even the front desk staff is very friendly, and accommodating. We go to visit a lot, and every time we go the community, and her room are nice, and clean. She is pleased with the meals, the food is good. It has been a lovely experience so far, and this is a community I would recommend.

I appreciate your courtesy, and promptness in returning all my messages, and patience with all my questions. Your organization, professionalism, and support helped make our family's special day an occasion to remember with :) Also, please extend my thanks to any other "behind the scenes" staff, who helped make things run so smoothly. I received so many nice comments from our guests complimenting the beauty of Capitol Ridge, the loveliness of the room, and the delicious meal in particular. Our guests were delighted to help themselves to takeout of the leftovers...always a good sign! It also honored my Mom to have a part in hostessing this occasion in her home. She was a proud Nana :)

Our family totally LOVES Academy point. 100% OF THE STAFF is courteous, patient, helpful and caring. We could not be happier. [Removed] is a GREAT leader. The food & wait-service is excellent and abundant. THANK YOU Academy Point!

My dad had excellence care while staying at the Birches for respite care for over 1 month. The employees really care about their clients. The food was amazing and appropriately served with 2 selections at each meal. The Birches is impeccably clean and also kept my dad looking his best every day. I would definitely recommend the Birches to anyone looking for respite or long term memory care for their loved one.

The staff at this community have been nothing but supportive and patient. They have been great with dad's care and helping with his medication. We have good communication with them and they keep him active. The community is clean and they check on dad's room often throughout the day. They have been good with accommodating his special diet. I would recommend this community for residents with Dementia.

My father has passed away, but for the time that he was at The Arbors of Shelburne, we were satisfied with the care that he received. It was a good place.

Mom is thriving at this community. I was so impressed with the care all the residents receive. They are treated so kindly and the caregivers are so accommodating. The staff are always welcoming have a smile and seem to really like their job. They are quick to respond to our questions and ask if there is anything they can help with. They encourage mom to participate in some of the daily activities. The food is phenomenal the community is very clean and I would recommend it. This is a very special place!!!
