Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree sits in a peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood surrounded by old homes and is less than 15 miles from the coast, so it feels quiet and homey with lots of green space and walking paths where residents can take a stroll or sit outside on patio lounges. The building has a cozy feel, almost like a New England house, and offers different living options like studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all with modern features. Some rooms are private or semi-private, and there are virtual tours for the apartments, which helps families and residents choose what suits them. The community welcomes small pets, so folks don't have to leave a beloved companion behind.
Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree offers several care options under one roof, including independent living for those who want to do things on their own but like having help close by, assisted living for people who need help with bathing, dressing, or managing medicine, as well as memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, who need closer supervision to help reduce confusion and keep them safe. There's also respite care for those who only need short-term help or when their regular caregiver needs a break, and skilled nursing for medical care after a hospital stay or for people who need more support. A nurse is on staff, and doctors visit regularly, so residents have access to health care right where they live.
Food is an important part of life here, with chef-prepared meals served in a big dining room, a country kitchen, or even outdoors on pleasant days, and there's a private dining area for special events with family. Menus are seasonal, and staff can change the meals for different dietary needs or dining preferences. People can gather near the fireplace in the common room, relax in lounges, or take part in regular activities and events set up by the staff to help residents make friends and stay busy, inside and outside the building. There's a spa for relaxation and personal care, and a secure courtyard for memory care, so those residents can enjoy being outdoors safely.
The focus at Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree is on providing compassionate, needs-based care, with dedicated associates helping residents with daily activities and encouraging socializing, all based on what each person needs and wants. The community is designed so everyone can feel included and maintain dignity, whether they're looking for independence, some extra support, or special care for memory challenges. The staff uses technology to keep residents safe and give families peace of mind, and everyone tries to make it feel like a comfortable, supportive place to live, without pretending it's fancy or perfect, but focusing on doing what's helpful and right for the residents.
