Our experience
The bottom line is that we would not recommend Benchmark at Alexandria except for someone who really doesn't need much assistance. (In which case there's a question of whether such a person needs "assisted living" at all.) We have received some recommendations (from people who know) for places to switch to, which we will be checking out. . For my mother in law's specific situation, I'd call it a 2. I think her actual experience is more like 3, but that's because my wife spends 6-7 hours a day at Benchmark, 7 days a week. (And also occasionally helps other residents who aren't being attended to by staff.)

A new and wonderful standard for senior living
Modern, helpfulness of staff to ensure a success transition that fit our budget constraints and desire to ensure our success. Great food, the gifting of a cranberry loaf had my neighbor staying signup. 100% closeness in proximity relieved substantial stress. Church members have already visited, ease of form submissions and tools online. I like the room that they have available to reserve for family events. Also made room on floor to match my mom's demeanor and with easy access best elevator which helped at move- in. Easily setup great services for speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy which has her walking better with a cane already. They don't seem to be fully able to follow instructions left by family due to instructions and details not being carried over from shift to shift.

I enjoyed my visit to Benchmark. The facility is beautiful and the amenities robust. Management has thought of everything to make those considering Benchmark feel welcome and cared for. The host for my visit provided all I needed and wanted to know, in a professional and personable manner.

I visited Benchmark and was very impressed with the building. Everything is new and very well decorated. Staff are friendly and very helpful. It's also in a great location. It's a fairly new facility and the needs of my relative include close monitoring and limited access or freedom to travel outside the building. I had a concern about the open-door policy. So, even though it wasn't a good fit for my needs, I think it would be a wonderful place for independent living.

Would not recommend until management has at least one year tenure(Director level and up).
The place is clean and the caretakers are very kind and nice. They care about the residents. The major issue with this facility is leadership and management. 100% turnover in less than one year. One some employees were rude and kept until finally leaving.

Quality care with friendly staff
They have very flexible visiting hours and that has been so helpful. It's a smaller facility so I feel my Mom receives a good amount of attention. It is very expensive, but it is a very convenient location.

Overall a nice Community
There could be more activities for people in memory care. When it comes to the value for cost I did not do comparative shopping so I cannot say for sure but I'm very happy overall with the care of my mother is receiving at Benchmark in the memory care unit. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families.

Toured this facility and was surprised at the cost of care compared to other facilities that I toured. Not only do they charge for the room, but for medications and care. My mother would of had almost [fee removed] worth of care cost, not counting the [fee removed]for the room. Thank God there was a community not that far away that was about [fee removed]dollars cheaper for the same care. A Place For Mom helped me greatly to find something more reasonalbe

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Virginia’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Benchmark at Alexandria 8.4 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies.
