The staff was very kind. My mother passed away before my father and they were very supportive of my dad after mom's death. They had an any amazing way of checking on him without seeming intrusive. It's a really great place.... Read more

Earlier this year we considered several assisted living community for my mom. We ultimately chose Ridgefield Crossings because upon visiting, the staff and caregivers seemed to be so friendly and solicitous of the residents. Now that she has been living there for more than three months, we could not be happier with our choice. The transition to assisted living can be a trying time for the resident and family, but the people at Ridgefield have made the difference. Our initial impression has been confirmed - the Ridgefield staff has been so friendly and helpful. Whether it is providing healthcare support, social integration, or just being there to answer questions, they have been terrific. The team at Ridgefield is to be commended for building and nurturing a culture of resident support and satisfaction. It is probably not a coincidence that the residents seem to be so happy there - the positive staff culture is contagious. Overall we are very happy with the community and our moms care.

I liked the facility itself, it was clean and the food was good, but the memory care unit itself. seemed a bit sterile, and I felt like I didn't really get a chance to see how the patients were treated or get a chance to see how people acted.

All I can say is that behind the beautiful decor, the medical care, in specific, is at best Laxing, especially if the patient can not advocate for himself. The left hand and the right hand sometimes fails to communicate and the patient sometimes suffers: wrong medication is given and prescription doses is mixed up in a web of confusion of nursing staff and incompetent aids.

We toured at Benchmark when we were looking for a place for my loved one. I absolutely loved this community, but the room that they had available at the time was too far down a long corridor for my loved one. He did not like the distance, so we continued looking for a more suitable community.

I went on a tour here and it was nice. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. The rooms were a decent size. It was a little big and thought it would be overwhelming for my mom. I had lunch here and the food was good.

I was able to speak with the staff on the care that is available for my mom's care. They had a nice list of activities and the menu seemed to be appealing. I was informed that the activities would be offered for her to participate. They have small trips away from the community. We would recommend that families our this community on their own to see if it fids there needs of a loved one.

This is a lovely community, and my father is doing very well since his move here. I'am pleased with everything they have done for us. He is safe, and in good hands. The staff very kind, and have been helpful whenever needed. I have heard nothing but positive comments from my father about them. When I visit his room, and the community are nice, and clean. The meals are good, and there are activities offered for the residents. It has been a positive experience for us in this community, and I would recommend it.

My mother is a smart active person who is extremely independent. Each member of the staff treats her with the utmost respect and kindness. She is able to maintain her independence with a compassionate safety net.

The Benchmark Senior Living at Ridgefield Crossings was a nice community. It was decently clean and well kept. The staff were friendly and answered all of my questions. The residents seemed to be busy interacting with the activities offered. We would consider Benchmark if the time comes for my loved one to move into assisted living.

The staff at Ridgefield Crossing have tried so hard to meet my mother's needs. They are always willing to listen to our requests and concerns. They have gone above and beyond when it comes to health needs and social requests. I would highly recommend "The Crossing" as a new home for your loved ones.

May 13, 2016Thank you for your review! Our team works very hard to meet the unique needs of each of our residents and statements such as yours mean everything to us. Please reach out to our Executive Director if you ever need anything, [removed].
It's a very big adjustment but both my parents are impressed with the staff, happy with the many amenities the community offers, and getting more comfortable over time with this new lifestyle. My siblings and I visited many senior communities in the surrounding area and most of them were impressive but, ultimately, this was an easy call for us. There is a different vibe at Ridgefield Crossings and a greater sense of vitality. Hard to say exactly why, but it probably comes down to a combination of both the residents and the staff.

December 17, 2015Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. This was a very nice looking place, it was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, it was also very expensive. We ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

Benchmark Senior Living is a very very nice place, overall. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and well kept, and the staff are all very pleasant and attentive. They've done a wonderful job taking care of my loved one. However, they are also very VERY expensive, and unfortunately not a permanent option for my family due to the price.

We toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. Benchmark at Ridgefield Crossings seemed like a nice enough place overall, the staff we met were friendly and the facility itself was well kept and clean. We saw options in the area we thought would be a better fit for Dad, but I would still recommend this place as being worth a look!

From the original contact to move-in day the staff at RC is always courteous, helpful, personable which is so critical when you are going thru the changes that come with moving to a very new and different lifestyle.... a really good one. First impressions count and making them exceptional is so very important. RC does a great job recognizing and acting accordingly. I am so happy that my loved one has people her own age around to share her days vs being alone.
