A Place for Mom has scored Benchmark Senior Living with 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score based on 361 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time, Benchmark Senior Living has 2,072 reviews with an average "overall experience" of 4.2 out of 5.
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.

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.

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.

I am very satisfied with the place. I had my doubts of whether she would be able to adjust or not, they have done quite well. She seems to be acclimating and enjoying herself. They have pretty good food as she has a good appetite. Overall we are very happy.

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.
