PositiveBenchmark Senior Living
They work as a team and everyone knows all the residents names. I do think they would benefit by having more activities for the memory care residents.

5 for each category. The staff, the friendly atmosphere, the fact that my husband is happy, the wide variety of activities and everybody knows your name.

PositiveGreat place for my mother
My mother went into Waltham Crossings on [date removed]. She had a difficult beginning which I knew she would. She was a big escape risk. Waltham Crossings has a solid plan in place to make sure the Memory care residents do not get out. Once my mother adjusted, she spent most of her days walking all around the memory care floor. She has not been in that good shape since she was 70 years old. The nurses are excellent in the Memory Care unit. They get to know every patient The CNA's are great and very patient…

CriticalWaltham Crossing mismanaged and out for profits and not people
Nothing in terms of the transfer went according to the way they said it would. Also. Now that we're 45 days in it seems they pulled the old bait and switched on me telling my mother and myself that the price would be one thing and that they did an assessment and then get in the door and the assessment doesn't matter and they raise all the prices above what we were .Looking at in other homes

CriticalReview for Benchmark Senior Living at Waltham Crossings
After assuring me there would be no additional charges to the quoted price, after a few weeks they started hitting us with additional charges.
