My mom was a resident at Benchmark Senior Living at Hamden for a short period of time and, although it was a short time, I could not have asked for a more accommodating, professional and caring facility. I just couldn't, that's all I can say. They were absolutely amazing. [Name removed], who was the intake/sales person, was absolutely wonderful. It was a really great experience.

Staff is really nice. They look out for my mother. Like if she misses a meal, they check in on her. Oh the appt transportation is a pain. It's only available 2 days a week half day. Have to get approval ahead of time. And the they drive you but do not assist into building. When it's a large medical bldg this is difficult for someone in a wheelchair.

I would recommend Benchmark of Woburn to anyone looking for an up to date facility with a friendly environment.

The staff is friendly. [name removed] even visited my mother when she broke her hip and was in rehab. The facility is lovely it is up to date and looks like a hotel. My mother didn't want an antique older style. Really liked that her room was on the first floor close to the dining room. When you walk in there are always people around. Residents conversing in the lobby and dining room area even after meal time and my mother usually would stay for awhile after meals to talk. Seemed like a lot of the other places were quiet and residents must stay in their rooms a lot. I've eaten the food and it's just okay and it seems that on the weekends it's harder to get help when my mother rings her necklace button.

They did a great job welcoming my mother in law and integrating her into the community. Even as she became more forgetful and needed more assistance with her mobility they continued to include her in activities that she really enjoyed. She was a very social person and they kept her engaged throughout. She also loved the food!

I love it here more than you can imagine. The staff is really good and friendly, the food is good and I have a life again. I have one of the largest apartments with a back door and patio which is great because I have a little dog so I can just let her out and watch her from inside. And I love the porch in good weather.
