Benchmark Care Assisted Living sits in Menifee, California, and offers many types of care for older adults, whether someone needs assisted living, memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's, hospice support, or help after an illness with respite care, and what folks seem to notice first is how the community features different room options, like studios, private, and semi-private rooms, all with private baths available, so people can have their own space and privacy if they want, and if they have pets, well, there's a pet policy so cats and dogs are welcome too. Staff help with all the basics, like bathing, dressing, washing, getting around, toileting, and personal hygiene, and there are personal care assistants, so if a resident uses a wheelchair or needs incontinence care, they'll get steady help. It's all set up with safety features like a sprinkler system and has a Wander Guard or similar system for those needing memory care, so everyone stays as safe as possible.
Every day, residents can take part in activities, both on the property and off-site, ranging from movie nights and social events to exercise classes, games in the activity room, and even pet and music therapy sessions, and if someone wants a quiet afternoon, there's a book room, garden space, or even a hot tub and steam room to relax in, and pretty often, the staff hold arts and crafts, health and wellness programs, and devotional services, both there and sometimes off-site for those who wish, with language services available including Filipino. Meals come homemade, three times a day, cooked with care and special diets are covered for those managing diabetes or high blood pressure. There are three cafes so folks can stop by for a coffee or snack, and the dining rooms let residents eat with friends, and if somebody needs food delivered to their room, that's handled too.
Transportation is handled through a mix of options, so whether someone needs a ride to the doctor, help getting to the store, a trip to a faith-based service, or just wants to go out somewhere, staff can either drive or set up a ride, and guest parking is there along with resident parking. On the health side, there's a team trained in memory care and high acuity care for folks with complicated needs, with nurses, doctors, and dentists either on call or on staff, plus therapy options like physical, speech, and occupational therapy, and there's even a podiatrist for anyone needing foot care. The facility is close to parks, pharmacies, and medical offices, so errands and appointments are simple to manage, and residents who want to live a maintenance-free life but stay independent can do so, or there's nursing care for those who need it. The property is all set up with indoor and outdoor common areas, Wi-Fi, a salon/barbershop, fitness center, laundry, dry cleaning, and upkeep like housekeeping and maintenance, and there's cable TV too, so residents can stay active or relax as much as they want. No smoking is allowed inside. Payment is private pay, and monthly prices depend on the room type chosen, with details available after contacting the community. Floor plans and advice for planning ahead are also available. Benchmark Care Assisted Living is licensed by the state and aims to give seniors a safe, comfortable place to live how they want while getting the care and support they need.
