“For 25 years, Benchmark communities have set the standard for senior care excellence in the Northeast. The U.S. News & World Report designation is special because – once again – it’s our residents and their families who are validating the important and successful role Benchmark associates play in their lives,” said Tom Grape, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark, New England’s largest senior living provider with 63 communities throughout the Northeast.

Benchmark communities offer various living experiences, including for those who are completely independent. Independent living or independent assisted living residents who don’t require help with daily tasks enjoy maintenance-free apartments with supportive neighbors and a wide-variety of on-site amenities, including chef-prepared meals.

For those who need help with tasks like getting dressed or medication management, Benchmark communities offer senior assisted living and memory care assisted living. Residents benefit from a safer, engaging environment, supportive living services like concierge services and housekeeping, a wide range of daily programs tailored to their interests and transportation to local appointments and events.

For those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, Benchmark communities offer an award-winning Mind & Memory Care program. Assisted living with memory care residents are supported by 24/7 care providers who have been hired for heart and educated in memory loss, communication and empathy. Carefully created living environments, cognitively stimulating programs and comfortable neighborhoods with purposeful amenities help those with memory loss find joy in each new day.

Benchmark Senior Living is also a respite care provider for seniors who need temporary assistance, such as help recovering from a health incident or overcoming a caregiving gap.

For more than 30 years, U.S. News has served the American public as an unbiased arbiter of quality across a variety of important choices. Whether picking a college, selecting a hospital or moving to a nursing home, consumers go to U.S. News to research and make consequential life decisions.

“Until now, families have had limited information when comparing providers of independent living, assisted living, memory care or continuing care,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “The Best Senior Living ratings fill this informational gap with comprehensive and transparent data to help older consumers and their families identify high-quality senior living communities that meet their needs and preferences.”
