Its a wonderful place

I was skeptical about making a move to a senior living community. But I have lived here at Benedictine Living Community- St. Joseph for almost a year now and if I would have to change one thing is that, "I wish I would have made the move sooner. "

We love Benedictine for our mom

Looking for a senior living community for a loved one can be difficult. But we knew the minute we walked into Benedictine Living community that this was going to be a great fit for our mom. The community looked, smell and felt nice. The staff is very friendly and the residents look happy.

Review for Benedictine Living Community St. Joseph

I would rate the Benedictine Living Community (BLC) a 1 out of the 5. While some of the staff were excellent, the bad ones were totally uncaring of my Mom's needs. The food service is poor at best since the multifloor facility has dining rooms on each floors but a central kitchen in the basement. The food was always cold and the quality of the foods was mediocre. We finally had to move Mom to another facility. BLC charged for two full months after vacating the facility even though we vacated the room in a day if ne

I am a current resident at Benedictine Living Community- St. Joseph in the Independent Living. This is a great place to live. It has family vibes and I love the larger events they host in Independent living each month.
