Benchmark Senior Living

I toured Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree. The community tour and first impression were both good. However, they weren't not available/open for respite stay. We would've had to bring in furniture, etc., for a 3 week stay. We chose another community because Benchmark couldn't provide what we needed at that moment.

The community outreach is very, very strong. Some of the staff haven't been delivering what they should have; however, it is on the upswing. There has been some transition of key staff members, and they have a new Food Service Director in place now. I am hopeful with the new changes of the key staff members. The community has a lot of activities available for the residents to choose from.

The care is excellent, and the staff is wonderful and attentive. The community needs to modernize the activities for younger residential cliental. I believe that the music is from the 20s and 30s and they need to update it up to the 60s. The community is willing to work with the residents to try and find items that the residents will eat. The menu is a lot of pasta and meat options. It would be nice to offer more veggie choices, especially fresh veggies. Again, they are trying their hardest in finding the foods that the residents will enjoy, and I believe this deserves high marks. The nursing the staff are top rate as well.

This was a good community. The community wasn't as good of a location for family and friends to visit.

Our loved one has been very happy with how clean the entire community it

I like to hear the church bells - great location I like to hear/see the students walking home from school - I love seeing the kids! The people here really care! For the most part, the food is excellent! I like all the light!

Good community with nice staff. The rooms and community felt smaller than we wanted for our loved one.

This community is on the water and it is very beautiful. It just was not the look that we wanted for our loved one. We wanted somewhere where the staff made a difference. We just did not get that feeling that we were looking for

The tour itself was very good. We just didn't have the same feeling about it as the place we chose. The facility itself seemed a little more institutional, like a nursing home. The people were all wonderful, and it was in a great location. It just didn’t feel as much like home.

A nice community and older building. This was too far from family.

It was fancier as it used to be a hotel. It wasn't the right fit for our loved one.

A very nice community with excellent staff. This wasn't the right fit for my loved one.

This is perfect for my Dad. If you are looking for lots of choices and activities, you may not like this place. This is close to where we live. Everyone is very pleasant here. It is all on one level. That has made it easy to see him. They seemed short staffed a few times due to covid. My Dad is in much better shape here than he was at home. We are pretty satisfied. Emails and phone calls is how the staff communicate with the family. They have a facebook page you can see things going on that are posted daily. This is a locked memory unit. He really loves the food and the options for each meal. They have a path outside so the residents can go for walks or have their lunch outside weather permitting.

It would be worth it to go there.

They were very good about the move-in process and are really helpful. There seems to be a lot of staff around, which I like. The workers seem truly caring. I like that they have my loved one outside of her room for the most part, so she's not isolated and they can keep an eye on here. So we're really happy with that aspect of the care.

My mother has lived at Leominster Crossings for 4 1/2 years and frequently tells us how blessed she is to be there. With friendly residents, attentive staff, including the nurses, she finds all her needs met. Now 102, she's celebrated four birthdays at Leominster Crossings and often tells me, "I have everything here." Her satisfaction and contentment with "everything," from the food to the activities to the atmosphere, mean the world to my siblings and me. We know she is cared for, safe and happy.

The community is beautiful, it is very vibrant with giant and spacious apartments. The staff are amazing and really work hard for the residents. The care services are excellent and we like how they offer more intellectual activities to the residents. Based on our experience so far with Evans Park we would recommend this community to other families.

I recently moved my husband to benchmark. The staff have been wonderful and personal. They are so friendly always speak to me, remembering my name. They keep me informed about my husband, how he is doing, eating and if he needs anything. They do this by either a phone call or sending me an email. As difficult as this decision was, i could not be more pleased with the care and support both of us have received from the Benchmark community at Leominster Crossing. I would high recommend this community.

My mom is very well cared for at Benchmark. We find the staff to be warm and friendly and they have been very responsive to family requests for updates. Our only dissatisfaction comes in the area of activities. There is simply not enough to do there. Exercise or stretching is usually done twice a day and there is a morning meeting of sorts. Bus rides are a nice diversion but lose their thrill if done too often. My mom complains a great deal of being bored and there being little going on. As we visit, she seems to be right more often than not.

Benchmark Senior Living is a good place. They have good services, activities, and food for the residents. They keep the community clean. The staff are good work with if I have questions or concerns about my loved one. Games, trivia, and more are available for the residents to participate in for activities. My loved likes the food a lot.
