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.

Major safety and care concerns - Profit over People
After 12 months of my mom residing at Evolve/Rye, Benchmark acquired and took over operationally. Since the new executive director took over, the lack of regard for resident safety coupled with no continuity of care, I moved my mom to a much safer facility with exceptional nursing and support care. Concerns were voiced, in writing, in person and via numerous phone calls. I was always met with: "this is being addressed" "we understand your concerns" ..... NOTHING. The medical errors, including over 10 covid related deaths this past summer 22', incorrect medications administered, doping resident's to keep them in their rooms, a sexually aggressive resident allowed in after he was removed from two other facilities, high attrition and agency staff mishandling residents aggressively, improper billing practice's. The list goes on. DO NOT CONSIDER BENCHMARK AT RYE, they increased their room fee by $[removed] all the while decreasing the food and consumable quality. They are not truthful.

Caring, friendly staff
My mom is very well cared for at Benchmark. We find the staff to be warm and friendly and they have been very responsive to family requests for updates. Our only dissatisfaction comes in the area of activities. There is simply not enough to do there. Exercise or stretching is usually done twice a day and there is a morning meeting of sorts. Bus rides are a nice diversion but lose their thrill if done too often. My mom complains a great deal of being bored and there being little going on. As we visit, she seems to be right more often than not.

A loving commuity
The initial engagement with the community was great. Evolve was very supportive in helping my parents in their transition from home to assisted living. They have been very accommodating with my parents specific food preferences. They offer two options at each meal and the food is healthy, tasty, and my parents really enjoy it. The activities have been very interactive and engaging. It was beautiful to see that my mom painted a picture. The staff recognize my parents individual needs and allow them to adjust. The staff spend the time to really get to know the residents personally. All of the staff are very attentive, Whenever we have a concern, they respond immediately by contacting us, truly listening and understanding us, and addressing the concern which gives our family great peace of mind.

The best care for mom
My mother has been a resident at Evolve since June of 2018. I could not be happier with the facility. The entire staff is wonderful including the nursing staff, LNA's, activities directors, chefs and dinning staff and the cleaning staff. There is such a feeling of family. The staff works very hard to meet the needs of each and every resident. The facility itself is beautiful and clean. The food is delicious. Mom is always a member of the clean plate Club! My mother thinks she's staying at a luxury hotel! The staff has been great through the quarantine. I receive email updates, texts and pictures of my mom quite often and once a week or so we are able to Face Time with her which has been so wonderful.

Memory Care Home?
The design of the residence has walkers and wanders in mind, which was the main draw when looking for a home for my mother. But monitoring of walkers is not staffed specifically, and Evolve’s care plan requires that a resident be located only after a full 2 hours have passed. In addition, the levels of care outline only personal care and habits of daily living, but do not at all address levels of management for Dementia behaviors. Likewise, activities are planned for gathering all residents at once, and no side activities are made readily available for residents who do not prefer the group activity or whose attention wanders.

Good afternoon, Brita, I hope your day is going well. My name is Shawn, and I work at the Milestone Support Center (located in Vancouver, WA). I want to apologize for the experience you have had at this community. We strive to provide the best care and service to our residents and families. This review has been shared with the community and regional leadership team for further review. I hope I can help address some of the concerns you brought up. The design of our community is a large circle. This allows any member of our staff team to view the residents at any time. This design also lets residents roam the building while interacting with any staff or residents throughout the community. We also encourage residents to join in on the activities in one of the two living rooms. If they don’t want to, they can also spend time in one of the common areas. The two hours that you described is our bathroom checks. With this community being small and intimate, residents are checked on every few minutes. This community has three levels of care that do focus on personal care. The behavioral side of Alzheimer’s and Dementia can be incorporated into these care levels, but this community is not a skilled nursing facility that is equipped to deal with more extreme behaviors resulting from Alzheimer’s and Dementia. You are correct that the activities could be improved. Milestone has managed this community since February of this year, and in that short time, many improvements have been made. We had the National Director of Memory Support Operations come to the community for specific training regarding scheduling activities for the residents. We also now have a full-time Activity Director to create new and different activities that residents can enjoy. We are always looking to improve our activities based on the changing populations and are always happy to discuss any programming concerns with families. If you wish to provide any additional details about your experience, please send a private Facebook message to this community. I can then forward it over to our regional leadership team. Thank you again, Brita, and have a great rest of your day. Shawn – Digital Marketing

Evolve is a warm friendly community. Bright, immaculate, updated and welcoming. I liked the circular structure of the building that surrounded a courtyard. In the courtyard were raised gardens, beautiful sculpture and big weather proof wicker seating. French doors opened to this courtyard. Why do I describe this. Residents freely can go in and out of the building from all sides. Some residents are not tucked away in their own "secure" neighborhood, meaning locked in. At 92, my mother with dementia, Alzheimer type, is still highly physically functional. She would know she is locked away from the rest of the community. This is why Evolve's architecture impressed me. The Incoming residents can bring their own furniture. More important the residents no matter their depth of journey were interacting with the staff, who smiled to say hello to me. Transitioning my mother into a memory care community is likely the hardest journey for me. As I walked through the building I noticed family members coming and going and this was near to lunch-time. I told they come to have lunch with a resident. I felt a sense of peace in this place. Evolve in a nutshell, is like walking into a home not an institution.

A safe,secure & loving home for my dear friend
My dear friend has been a resident at Sanctuary Care in Rye NH for almost two years. When my dear friends husband had to make the very difficult decision, to place her in a home, I am so grateful that Sanctuary Care became his choice. I look forward to my visits with her as it does my heart good to see the love & compassion that surrounds her. Alzheimers, dementia is a horrible disease and it takes such a toll on the whole family. Knowing your loved one is being treated with dignity and is being cared for with loving, compassionate, caring hands will certainly help to put your mind at ease. I wish this disease did not exist and there wasn't such a need for facilities like this. But unfortunately, there is, and for that I am so grateful for Sanctuary Care.

Very Happy With Sanctuary Care
My wife has been a resident at Sanctuary Care for almost two years. At the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, the problems at this facility were so significant that I began searching for other accommodations for my wife. Any reviews of one star during that time period are being generous. There appeared to be a toxic work environment with constant turnover and understaffing problems, along with numerous other issues. In early 2016, The former director was let go, and new management began to make an immediate impact. I had placed a deposit with another Alzheimer’s unit that would finish construction in four months. Fortunately, that four month period gave me a chance to see that a majority of my major concerns were being corrected. I placed moving plans on hold, and I am so glad that I did. The turnaround that I have witnessed is nothing short of incredible. Any issues that I may voice to management are addressed immediately. There is a feeling of love and caring that is impossible for them to hide. As I am writing this, I can see the faces of all the people that are responsible for these improvements. It is from top to bottom. The kitchen turnaround has also been remarkable. The new chef has changed more the just the menu. The kitchen staff is out interacting with the residents on a regular basis. If you are visiting at mealtime, you will always be offered a meal at no extra charge. Mealtime is now a wonderful shared experience, in addition to the food being great!!! Last but not least , the LNA’s. They are angels. I have recently learned that a number of them have a very lengthy commuting distance. They most certainly have similar job opportunities that are closer to home, but they choose Sanctuary Care because they tell me that they like it here. That speaks volumes. If you are reading these reviews there is a good chance that you are in the middle of a very difficult decision. I am comfortable offering my positive comments on Sanctuary Care and believe that they are worthy of serious consideration. I feel fortunate to have them caring for my wife.

Sanctuary Care is a Jewel on our Seacoast! We're so lucky to have a community like this in our backyard!
We are so very lucky to have a memory-care community with a staff of dedicated, hard-working, caring, loving, committed, respectful and beautiful people right here on the Seacoast who have established, fostered and brought to maturity the jewel that is Sanctuary Care! ... My husband has Younger Onset Alzheimer's Disease. He's lived at Sanctuary Care for more than three-and-a-half years. In the past year, since [Removed], our Executive Director, stepped into the role and other well qualified and experienced people have taken on leadership/director roles in their areas of expertise, Sanctuary Care has become a premier memory-care community (I would disregard reviews prior to [Removed] direction and question anonymous reviews). The dedication and commitment of [Removed] and the Sanctuary Care family to their standards of care and understanding of memory loss and memory care, assistance with living, nursing, activities, dining and aging is beyond reproach. The atmosphere is pleasant, homey and very comfortable. The community is clean. The food is delicious. My husband is safe, happy, clean, cared for, engaged and loved more than I could have hoped for. His needs are met on every level. His quality of life is greater than I could have imagined - and frankly, more than I could have provided at home. He is treated with great dignity. The LNAs, nurses, activities, kitchen/dining staff and other support staff have some of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. They're angels! ... Seeing how loved, well cared for and happy my husband was, my sister and I made the decision to move our 90-year-old mother into Sanctuary Care last fall, as well. And while my husband's and mother's needs are very different, she, too, receives the same kind of loving care as my husband. Her needs are met where she is, just as my husband's needs are met where he is. Our mother is safe and secure (she's not alone anymore), content, stimulated, cared for, cared about, happy, treated with dignity and is an integral part of the community! ... I have been caring for my husband and mother for more than 12 years between the two of them. My standards and expectations are very high. We would never have considered moving our beloved mother into a community that didn't meet those standards and expectations. My sister and I discuss daily how delighted and grateful we are to the Sanctuary Care family and community for the care they give to our two precious family members in this season of their lives. ... As an aside, I recently spoke with a hospice nurse of 25 years who travels throughout New Hampshire. She said Sanctuary Care is the best community she visits and that the culture stood out to her on her first visit. She recognized that the care is truly resident centered and that the staff genuinely cares and loves their residents. That is a ringing endorsement! ... A musical entertainment group was recently performing, and they commented on how they had played in six different communities in the past week but they had not seen the kind of care, compassion and engagement they observed at Sanctuary Care. Another wonderful endorsement. ... I am also an Alzheimer's advocate. I received the 2016 Alzheimer's Association's Impact Movement Advocate of the Year Award in Washington, DC, last spring. I'm very involved with the Alzheimer's and related dementia community at large, and I wholeheartedly and fully endorse Sanctuary Care, their team, their community and the love and resident centered care they provide. That is saying a lot as I am now my husband's and my mother's care advocate, and I take their well-being and the care surrounding this stage of their lives VERY seriously and personally! ... My review is current, and unlike anonymous reviews, I am happy to leave my name and phone number if anyone should have any questions about this special community. Brenda Bouchard, [removed]

Very Unhappy!
We are very unhappy with Sanctuary Care. The high turnover of staff is unacceptable. They lock the patients in their rooms at night, the aides hide in closets because they are afraid of some of the residents. At our family meeting we all decided that it was necessary to bring in a hospital bed. It took 2 months to finally have a bed brought in - unacceptable. They don't have enough staff. Many families are very disappointed not only our family. Dementia is a very sad disease and this facility only makes it harder for the residents and families. We have to barely give 1 star.

My mother has been at Sanctuary for almost 2 years. The last 6 months have brought wonderful changes to the community. The focus is, and continues to be, improvement in all areas. A new Food Director and a new Activities Manager, to mention a few, are bringing new and wonderful ideas to the home. My mother is extremely well cared for, and treated so lovingly, by everyone from the caregivers to the nurses to the administrative staff. My father, who visits daily, is made to feel very welcome, like a family member. The changes over the last 6 months under the leadership of the new Director have been very positive. I would confidently recommend Sanctuary Care to anyone who is in the process of transitioning their loved one to a community for people living with Alzheimer's.

Doing Much Better, My Mother is Being Cared For Well Here
It is still a bit of a transitional process for my mother here at this community. I know she is safe and being cared for well overall. She is doing better each day. They have a very good staff. They have been very helpful and friendly. They do a good job with keeping the community and her room well-kept. The location is very convenient for our families to travel too. Everything is working out very well, and I would recommend this community.

A Place for Mom has scored Benchmark at Rye 8.2 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. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
