My parents are thriving

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!

Lovely facility, offers everything you could wish for, highly recommend it!

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.

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.

Benchmark Ridgefield Crossings Experience

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.

Our Experience

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.

Review for Benchmark Senior Living at Ridgefield Crossings

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.

The Ideal Place for My Mom

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!

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.

Amazing staff

They are doing so well with my aunt and taking really good care of her. She says how much she loves it and she has made a really good friend. The staff is absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. I have meetings with the staff and they say that everything I worry about is completely normal. We have family meetings with them and they are great with communication. I cannot say enough about the staff, the cleanliness and the friendliness of everyone here. The security is very good, you have to sign in and sign out. They have a beautiful garden area, music almost everyday, different activities etc. There is something to keep residents busy at all times. I am so happy that she is here, we could not ask for more. I would absolutely recommend Benchmark Senior Living Ridgefield Crossings without hesitation.

Thank God I found a wonderful place for my aunt!

I'm very happy with a Benchmark Senior Living at Ridgefield Crossings, we are very pleased. My aunt is satisfied with everything, it's a God-send for me. It is expensive, but I believe we are getting our moneys worth. So far, we have had no issues. They have responded to everything and any of my concerns. I would say, if you have the money, which is really the most important thing to be able to go there, then my suggestion would be to go there. I am also grateful to A Place for Mom because I would have never found this place on my own. I am so grateful that you guys recommend this place. You provide an invaluable service for people who don't know what to do where to turn. The best thing I ever did was fill out that form online and I got the help I needed. I'm very grateful! We had other places lined up, but after I visited Benchmark Senior Living, I cancelled those tours. I immediately knew. I came back a second time and brought my aunt with me; she agreed with me. It was the friendliness of the people and the warmth. I knew immediately that I was in the right place. During our tour, residents came up to say hi and asked if we were moving in and letting us know that they loved it. I didn't experience that at the other community I toured. The residents here made the difference for us.

It's really a lovely place. They have a huge range of care services. The activities are good, and they try hard to appeal to a broad range of people. They have Bingo and lectures. The value for the money is good. We picked this community, because the broad range of activities, and when I walked in, I felt I could see my loved one there. Overall, we are very happy.
