Review for Benchmark at Alexandria

Mom went to Memory Care and the unit was nice. Unfortunately Mom wasn't healthy enough to do much but they definitely tried to get her involved. We had a few hiccups with moving her in and billing. Location is great

It seems a beautiful, clean environment. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I didn't see many residents but those I saw seem to be active and engaged (they were drumming). It's beyond our budget, but based on that tour, I would have loved to have my mother there.

Our experience

The bottom line is that we would not recommend Benchmark at Alexandria except for someone who really doesn't need much assistance.

We have received some recommendations (from people who know) for places to switch to, which we will be checking out. . For my mother in law's specific situation, I'd call it a 2. I think her actual experience is more like 3, but that's because my wife spends 6-7 hours a day at Benchmark, 7 days a

A new and wonderful standard for senior living

Modern, helpfulness of staff to ensure a success transition that fit our budget constraints and desire to ensure our success. Great food, the gifting of a cranberry loaf had my neighbor staying signup. 100% closeness in proximity relieved substantial stress. Church members have already visited, ease of form submissions and tools online. I like the room that they have available to reserve for family events. Also made room on floor to match my mom's demeanor and with easy access best elevator which helped at move
