PositiveBenchmark Hamden gets 5 Stars
Mom is just finishing a respite stay. The experience has been beyond what I thought it could be. The caring, communication and attention Mom and the family has received has been absolutely stellar. They go above and beyond with every detail. I could write a long story but suffice to say that if you're considering respite, assisted or memory care in the area, Benchmark Hamden should be strongly considered. Im glad I found them.

PositiveReview for Benchmark Senior Living at Hamden
The staff there is great. Food is delicious, the entertainment programs keep them stimulated throughout the day. They take very good care of my dad so when I'm not there I know he is in good hands. I have peace of mind. Plus he really likes them too, I know they interact great with him even when I'm not there . Very caring staff. Plus the staff gets constant training to care for the residence in the memory care community.

Positive- staff is friendly, the place is clean, food is good, the common areas are nice (both on the memory care floor and regular areas), provide wheelchair transportation to doctors appointments, allow us to reserve rooms to have party or family gatherings. Negatives- I have had to follow up multiple times about getting hair washed or at one point bathing, applying lotion. My mom is supposed to wear hand braces and the staff are often not trained to use them or do not use them. It's expensive

Food's better than institutional food, the cleaning people, aids, nurses, and memory loss supervisor are gracious. My wife's first answer when asked to do something is NO, but she is thankful to them after. And they like her

PositiveBeyond Expectations
Definitely a 5. Because even though there were a few blips in the beginning (nothing and no one is perfect), they were handled immediately! Mom has been doing so well at Benchmark Hamden! Therese was a slight adjustment period but nowhere near what I'd expected. The pivotal moment was when she had to be hospitalized for UTI with behavioral changes and needed IV therapy. In the past, upon returning to her previous facility, she was repeatedly immediately sent back out for continued behavioral problems. This time, sh…
