I like my tour at Benchmark Senior Living at Hamden, and I like everything about it. I like the fact that when I walked in there, I didn't see anybody sitting around, which was one of the things I was hesitant about. The lady was very thorough. I love that place, but it just costs too much money. It was just too much and they would nickel-and-dime you to death, while at the other place I toured everything is included. So it would have cost way more than what they said it was going to be monthly. Everything was exactly what I wanted, but it was just too much money, that was the bottom line. And that was just at level one, my cousin has Alzheimer's so it's going to get worse. So it was expensive at level one, I would hate to see what is level three. They had exercises, cooking classes, and they go out now and then supervised. They have a place to go out in the back, they have cookouts, they have a courtyard and a salon. The rooms were a pretty good size. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, and my nose is keen.

It is a place to look into to see if this be a good place for your loved one. This was the best location for us as my loved one is familiar with the area.

It is a place to look into to see if this be a good place for your loved one. This was the best location for us as my loved one is familiar with the area. The staff are pretty good to work with if the family has questions and concerns about our loved one. The community staff are good at trying to assist my loved one with transitioning into the community better.

My mother has been in Benchmark Senior Living at Hamden for 9 days now. We chose it for her because she can be on her own there and still have lots of help and 24-hour care. It's very easily accessible for wheelchairs and walkers. There are lots of wonderful activities every day. There's also wonderful food. She's only been there nine days and she talks about how great the meals are. She's in their assisted living. They have guests that play music with piano and a trumpet. They have arts and crafts. They have rides when you want to go shopping. They have a bus and take them on outings.

my mom loves it here! great staff, lots of activities although during the Covid outbreak it was different due to health and safety cautions. we would just like to see more opportunities for RECYCLING: bins could be provided to separate carboard, paper, plastics, etc. thanks!!

The location of the facility was great for our family. Also it wasn't some huge place, it was homey and had a garden area which was perfect for my mom.

The location of the facility was great for our family. Also it wasn't some huge place, it was homey and had a garden area which was perfect for my mom. They have a lot of things to do to help stimulate the residents and keep them active and engaged. My mother is loving the activities, she is doing things she never thought she would do. I have seen a night and day difference in her in just a matter of months. It is expensive, but it is worth every penny. I would definitely recommend them.

My "Place for Mom" consultant helped guide me through an excellent list of communities that met my criteria. We selected a great facility where my parents are happy and I have the peace of mind they are safe and I can visit with them regularly.
