My aunt seems to be very happy there and I feel comfortable that she is being well taken care of. My aunts apartment is reasonably well taken care of and is cleaned on a regular basis. The staff is always friendly and I feel that they know who my aunt is an care about her well being. The quality of care here is excellent which is the most important thing as far as I am concerned. If she has a health concern the Dr comes immediately and her aids are always attentive and respond quickly. My aunt feels her meals could use improvement but she is a fussy eater so I'm not sure how to rate this. I would say a 4. There are many activities and she participates and enjoys most of them. Benchmark is by our standards very expensive however I feel they are top rated and we are extremely satisfied to have found such a wonderful place.

And my family feels blessed to have so many wonderful staff members dedicated to fostering and maintaining a loving, supportive, and thriving community. Residents thoroughly enjoy the entertainment, social activities, music & arts enrichment, and planned outings that are always curated with purpose.

My parents have been at Ridgefield Crossings for 3+ months and they often tell me how much they love it here. They had been in a community in FL that had soured, and we urgently needed to find a place where higher acuity needs were addressed, as well as a place that would embrace their beloved little yorkie. Music is available and activities are too. They do not always join. (I do wish there was a way to have my parents brought to the musical events on the assisted living side.) However the staff bends over backwards to keep all 3 happy, safe, well fed and in great health. My parents see them all as friends and neighbors. They shared today that nobody is bossy and everybody is friendly! The nurses are very synchronized in dispensing meds. The dining hours run like clockwork. These systems support dementia patients. Oh, and these two rave about the food! Btw the place is clean. Carpets in hallway have seen better days, but parents only see how pretty it is! So we do not discuss!

Their facility is so nice, inside and outside. It is off a main road with a beautiful setting and landscaping. [name removed], the lovely Director, was able to offer us a beautiful room on the 1st floor close to everything convenient for my mom, and worked with us on the financial aspect so it was as close to affordable as any place in the area. We liked the amount of residents, not overwhelmingly large. It was the first place we saw and didn't want to see any others. We were sold right then and there and have not had any regrets with our decision. My mom says every day how much she loves it there. Who can ask for more than that?! Everyone is so helpful and friendly! I cannot say enough good things about all of them. It is just the most wonderful place that you could have found for my mom.

Mom passed away in January. Benchmark was a great place for her. She had excellent care there. Everyone there was very kind to her. You could tell they genuinely cared about her well being

Beautiful entry with friendly and professional staff. The apts are very nice and roomy. Dining hall is nice for the regular residents. For the dementia folks it's not as nice.

My aunt was only there about 3 months. She kept falling, going to the hospital, then rehab, then back to Ridgefield Crossings. Then the cycle would start again so I don't have a lot of experiences to comment on. I know the staff was very nice, food was good, and the place was very clean.
My mom is very happy here. The staff is amazing and the activities are fantastic. The food is great and the quality of care is excellent. Yes. I would and I have already recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far. And when I'm ready I'd love to live here too.

My loved one is currently a resident at Benchmark at Ridgefield Crossings and overall the facility is okay. The place is clean, but worn and dated. It is hospitality- more acutely care. My loved one doesn't care for the food. The activities are on par with most places. Some good, some just okay. It's not expensive per se, but they up charge for various things which add up and increase overall cost.

It's a decent place that has good intentions. Staff does their best but seems like they need more help. Picked it based on the sales pitch and the cost factor. And we were told that after my mother has spent all her money (soon) she would be able to stay based on affordable housing programs however now they seem vague.

Our dedicated associates take great pride in providing the very best experience possible and your compliments are a highlight for our team. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for choosing Benchmark Senior Living at Ridgefield Crossings!
The staff is wonderful! They are so friendly, helpful and just genuinely nice people ready to assist with any issue that arises. The housekeeping is great! The wash is taken and brought back right away; the cleaning is swift yet thorough; communication is perfect; the move in process was easy, everyone helped however they could to make my mom feel at home. She was brought a lovely welcome bouquet of flowers by [name removed], the Senior Director of Community Relations, and [name removed], the Dining Services Director, brought a lovely tray of sandwiches to the room for us to have while unpacking. My mother loves the food! I was worried because she likes to have certain things and she is so pleased with the daily choices. I would recommend this facility 100 times over in every way! It is a lovely place to live!

We would recommend a friend, visits and talk to the administrators and take a tour. My friend chose this community because of the location/proximity, beautiful and spacious rooms, kindness and professionalism of staff and finance and overall cost.

I cannot say enough good about them, they would get more than 5 if I could. I cannot believe the friendliness not only of the staff but the other residents. They have been so patient and make her feel very welcome. Everybody has been so gracious and sweet. If she has any complaints, this makes up for it. It is also a very spacious facility, especially compared to others I have been to. I would recommend them to others looking.
