Benchmark offers a safe, caring, respectful environment to your loved one

It was exceptional. The staff was absolutely amazing. The head staff, chef, nursing, LNA, down to housekeeping and volunteers were amazing. Staff would always come in to say hi to [name removed] and help her when she got terribly confused and the staff cried right along side of us when she passed away at benchmark. We were all surrounding her. She felt the love and compassion benchmark gave her each and every day. And I was there almost daily so I feel I had a good look at everything going on daily.

Caring and Kind Staff

The staff at Benchmark were unfailingly warm, welcoming, and accommodating to both the challenges my mother posed and to the anxieties of us as her family. They provided us with extra support during an incredibly challenging time.

Overall not happy with care

Overall not happy with the care received for the money we were charged. They were so helpful getting him admitted but no so much when his health declined right after admission.

Overall nice community

Overall it was a good place and the staff was very good and caring. The place was very clean. At the beginning, my mother fell out of bed almost every night and it took them awhile to find a good solution. Quite often we would find her in the public spaces asleep in her wheelchair and there was no supervision. It was very expensive and perhaps I expected too much.

Great experience

My mom has been at Benchmark for 3 weeks. We moved her from another community to Benchmark and have been very happy. We are glad that we decided to move her where she is better cared for. The staff truly cares.

Excellent, loving care

My mother has been at benchmark for three months. Her care here has been exceptional. The facilities are wonderful and the food is great. Most importantly, the loving care that she’s received is tremendous. The nurses and aids are attentive and exceptionally loving. There are many examples of me walking into the room and an aid is sitting by her side, holding her hand. They call her “beautiful“ and often give her a kiss on her forehead. One aid offered to come in on a day off to wash her hair, another aid went to lunch and brought back a dessert for her, the list goes on.

Caring and intimate community

For the activities our mom does not participate in much she is almost 99. This kind of care is astronomical & not sustainable for the future in our opinion. Although mom currently has enough assets, at this pace they may not last. Our parents earned & saved all their assets - financially punished because they live so long!

A warm and caring place with amazing staff. I would recommend checking it out.

Overall I think it's an amazing place. Unfortunately Mom only lived there 9 days. She had two falls and the second sent her to the hospital. She's fine. Mom needed someone to watch her at all times to be safe. They really tried but they are not with her every second. I made the decision to bring her home to live with me. She's doing great and I'm glad to have her with me to keep her, hopefully, safe. Thank you for checking in. The staff there is truly amazing! I especially loved the way it never felt like your loved one was "locked in". The setup is perfect for people that live there to maintain a feeling of independence.

A Friendly Staff Dedicated to Giving Quality Care

Super friendly place. Everyone knows the name of all the residents. Very caring people work there More physical activity/engagement is needed - particularly music and exercising to music - and a less reading aloud to residents.

The staff is extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. My loved one was here for 2 full years and he was given the care, the love and dignity that he deserved. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for somebody with memory loss.

Highly recommend, professional and wonderful staff. My father in law is in great hands.

I feel that my FIL is getting the attention he needs. The entire team was over the top helpful in making the transition fast and easy. They are very proactive and responsive. We had a lot of trouble getting all the documentation needed from the Residence at Silver Square ( no surprise) but they remained positive and helpful. I can honestly say I did not think we would be able to get in done in such a short time but the team remained steadfast and we made it happen.

Appearances are Deceiving; Would Not Recommend.

Go elsewhere!! Do not be beguiled by the lovely entrance and public areas. This is largely a skilled nursing facility, staffed by poorly trained aides. Beware.

A Great Fit - For Parents and For Their Children

Things that stick out the most - Very friendly staff; warm and welcoming. The facility is very clean and nice. I would like to see them pay a bit more attention to my parents' personal appearance, but that is not crucial. My parents are happy and engaged. I would absolutely, highly recommend Benchmark of Rye to those looking for memory care for their loved ones.

They Do Their Jobs so You Can Concentrate on Loving

We looked at four facilities and Benchmark was the only one without a locked ward. My husband can walk all day to his heart's content as the building is designed in a big circle. Every staff member knows all the clients and greet them by name. The level of personal attention and cheerfulness of the staff is endearing. Dining staff are attentive to a fault on particular needs and preferences of the clients. Professional staff are accessible and accommodating.

Quality care is NOT Priority

The lack of accountability with staff when you find your loved one in the same clothes as the night before and a soaked with urine depends! It's never anyone's responsibility because the buck gets passed! Outside agencies come in to assist the lack of staff. These residents here never know who is coming thru their rooms? No room privacy either, staff have no respect to even knock before they enter with their own agenda! Don't put your loved one in this depressing unsafe place.
