Care Types

Mind & Memory Care Levels

  • Our Mind & Memory Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of cueing and reminders. Residents are appropriate for our Mind & Memory Care Plan if they generally exhibit mild cognitive impairment and no or limited behaviors such as aggression or resistance to care.
  • Our Mind & Memory I Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of a minimal level of physical assistance with activities of daily living, and minimal levels of cognitive impairment.
  • Our Mind & Memory II Plan is for residents whose care needs require a moderate amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit moderate cognitive impairment.
  • Our Mind & Memory III Plan is for residents whose care needs require a substantial amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit severe cognitive impairment and/or associated behaviors.
  • Our Mind & Memory IV Plan is for residents who have extensive needs, for example: a need for total care with one or more activities of daily living, or a substantial amount of assistance is warranted on a daily basis.
  • Our Mind & Memory V Plan is for residents who need total assistance with all aspects of care, as well as usage of a mechanical or electrical lift for transfers on an ongoing basis. They may also require extensive emotional/behavioral support.

Personalized, needs-based care to support individual abilities


At Benchmark, individuals with dementia are empowered to do some things independently and rely on our healthcare providers and caregivers for others. In addition to leadership that is continually growing with advanced education and oversight from a registered nurse with over a decade of experience, our residents benefit from increased care capabilities and supportive on-site medical services.

Our Mind & Memory Care also focuses full-time on their emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual wellness with daily group and individual programs that give feelings of purpose and belonging. Our dedicated programming team makes it possible for our residents to engage in meaningful interactions over activities like Benchmark Strong fitness classes, live music performances, Asian brush painting, gardening and community service projects.
