My brother in law who is 91 has been a resident in the Assisted Living section of the facility for almost 2 months. He has settled right into his surroundings wonderfully. The staff has been wonderful and kind. He goes regularly to the dining room and compliments their cuisine . Although he regularly has peanut butter sandwiches for lunch he keeps to his routine .There is a walking trail which goes right around the facility. It is all paved and marked with plenty of benches if he gets tired. 4 times around us a mile which he is aiming for. Walking is a big part of his day so we are glad he can continue safely.

Overall an excellent experience. Everyone is friendly, helpful and greets you with a smile. Room was clean and just the right size. Food was wonderful and being able to go when you want was great. Unfortunately my dad was only there 2 months before he passed away. They have been very helpful and understanding. They made this tough time a little easier and took wonderful care of him.

I toured many places last year and Benchmark was by far my favorite. It is the perfect size. The staff seems to know everyone’s name. There are lots of activities both on and off the property. My mother had a whirlwind change of life last year - lost her husband of 70 years, sold her house in Florida and moved to be close to my family in Massachusetts. I told the Benchmark staff that my mother was not social and would most likely be in her room most of the day. Was I wrong! My mother is now extremely social and is out and about most days with her friends that she has met. It has almost been a year since my mother moved to Benchmark and she is still happy. I couldn’t be more please.

Mom moved in to Ashland Farm about six weeks ago. It took very little time for her to meet community members. The staff have been wonderful; caring, attentive, and respectful. Our Dad passed shortly after Mom moved in. The community, staff and residents, were so supportive and understanding. It really has helped our family knowing that our Mom is safe and cared for. Mom has participated in numerous activities ranging from exercise to ice cream socials. Our family visits often and we are always impressed with the sense of community that exists.

The main reason we chose Ashland Farm at North Andover was because of the brightness of the rooms: other places had dark hallways and low natural light - Ashland farms is bright and welcoming. The staff are very and patient with all of the residents there.

I know that staff is always a problem to get and they have had some that should not have been there but they have a great administrator who has only been there a year and she is wonderful. She is right on top of everything. They have a lot of great staff. It is so beautiful around the inside and outside of building, it's a must see. Always clean. My sister loves the people that help her. I think the activities could be changed up more. But it would be a place I would go to.

At the time we were looking, Ashland Farm at North Andover had a memory care bed available immediately and that is just what we needed. Everyone is always friendly and nice when I go to visit and knows who I am and who I am there to see...very personable.

My aunt lived at Ashland Farm for four years before her passing. She engaged in the numerous activities offered by the activities director, [name removed], and was given the best care possible. The staff were welcoming, helpful and diligent meeting all of her needs. I cannot say enough about this Assisted Living facility. I give this facility a 5 star rating.

My loved one is currently a resident at Ashland Farm at North Andover and overall her experience at this facility has been good so far. The staff friendliness is good and they try hard. My daughter and I both work in the healthcare industry and we know how hard it is to get help and how low the pay can be. But it always helps to have nice people. There are some areas that need improvement, but overall things are not bad. We have addressed a few concerns with them and they always corrected the problem. I wish the activities were better, but I understand. Also, one of the girls at the front desk is not pleasant. I would think that you would want someone pleasant when you first come into the facility. She is not. The other woman is very nice and pleasant.

There is nice places on the floor to be while visiting my dad, there is a beautiful sunroom my dad loves they put the tv on at breakfast with songs and beautiful scenery to look at, on the floor they have different area with military stuff, baby stuff, music instruments nice things they can relate too.

The staff is great. Compared to the last place, this seems much warmer, and easier to get around within the community. I feel that, my loved one is better at this facilty. The location is great, the staff is great, and they are very helpful, with getting my loved one out and about, and out of the room.

As far as the layout of the community and all of the furnishings we liked it more because if gave off that homey feeling which is what we were wanting for our loved one. We have not had a meal ourselves but our loved one seems to be enjoying them. We do see different activities going on during the day and we would recommend Ashland Farm to other families.

The staff are nice and attentive to my loved one. They do a good job in keeping my loved one's room clean. The staff are good at caring for the residents that have memory care health concerns. The meals are good, and I have enjoyed meals with my loved one. My loved one has been able to get their strength back and is learning to stand again within the community and assistance. Overall, I am pleased with our experience here.

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

My loved one absolutely loves it here. It's very clean. The only issues have been with the night crew and billing. The night crew is not as medially trained, and they're not very kind. The day crew and kitchen crew have all been awesome though. Billing is not exactly as they said it would be. She was expecting several thousand less than what her bill has been. But they're very good about answering any questions and responding to concerns. The food is very good, and I like that she always has something available to eat, any time of the day. They keep the residents busy with activities, and she talks to me all the time about all they have going on. They have both indoor and outdoor activities.
