Why does Benchmark
prioritize human
connection?
Because isolation
poses a serious risk
for seniors.
At Home
Waking up to a quiet home, not having anyone to greet you or plan out the rest of the day with.
At Benchmark
Waking up with someone right around the corner to greet you, and finding comfort in knowing that there's always someone to lend a hand or share a smile.

At Home
Breakfast is kept simple. Easy to make,
easy to clean up. Company is limited to the morning paper and the robin singing outside the kitchen window.
At Benchmark
Breakfast brings together the entire community. Delicious omelets are made
to order, fresh coffee flows freely, and conversation brightens the morning.
At Benchmark,
you're surrounded
by possibility.

At Home
Lunch adds punctuation to an otherwise nondescript afternoon. Maybe it's a few slices of bread and cheese. Maybe it's leftover soup warmed up in the microwave. Either way, it's nothing fancy.
At Benchmark
At lunch, no one has to sit alone if they don't want to. Meals are prepared and served with care, made with fresh ingredients and customized to accommodate special diets.

At Home
Not knowing if someone will be around if you need their help can be a daunting reality for those living alone. The risks of solitude range from feeling isolated and cut off from the world, to facing an injury without anyone there to call on.
At Benchmark
With the presence of caring associates and friendly neighbors comes a feeling of security. At Benchmark, you can live confidently knowing that there's always someone there to cheer you up if you're feeling down, or to chat with if you'd like some company.

At Home
Dinner's typically eaten in the kitchen, background noise of the TV playing in the next room, providing an alternative to dining in silence.
At Benchmark
Dinner is a crowd favorite: spaghetti and meatballs. Jokes, stories, and slices of garlic bread make their way around the table. Conversation flows freely all the way through dessert.
At Home
It's time to do the dishes and tidy up the house. The novel sitting on the nightstand is waiting to be finished after all the nightly chores are taken care of.
At Benchmark
Movie night draws a crowd. Everyone settles into comfy seats with a snack or two, eagerly awaiting for the cinema magic to unfold.
