The menu changes seasonally with a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. There are always fabulous activities. Last week they had llamas in for a visit with a fun western themed evening. The staff is wonderful and the General Manager is always available for residents and families. Best senior living in Woodstock by far.

She loves the staff, she's made friends, her quality of life is good and she's well cared for! We are grateful for all the wonderful and caring staff that create such a great environment! I've spent hours here with my Mom and have gotten to know a lot of the care professionals and staff. They truly love my Mom like family. Is it perfect? Of course not! No situation is 100% perfect, but they work hard to care for residents with love and dignity. I would highly recommend it for a loved one.

My grandfather lives here and it is so wonderful. The staff are great and caring and I'm so…read morethankful he can call this home. He lived alone prior to moving here and interviewed many places. We, as the family, have always been regarded as important. Suzanne is amazing and has always addressed any concern we have promptly and with my grandfathers needs as the priority. We know he's safe here and he's happier than he has been in years! Yes, older people can sometimes be a challenge, but they handle him with care and do what they can to make him feel like this is his home. I think the other reviewer on here may not be cut out for this line of work. I also noticed she's never reviewed anything in a positive light. 2 stars max. Don't let her review stop you from checking out Benton House. I cannot tell you how pleased we are with this place!

We brought my mom to live here after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She did not come willingly…read morebecause she didn't understand her illness and was a handful when she arrived. Suzanne and Chuck went out of their way to make the adjustment as smooth as possible. After a few short weeks, she loved it there. All the workers were extremely kind to her. We had a few minor hiccups with her medications, but that is to be excepted and they were quick to fix the problems. Eventually my mom was placed in their memory care and I was happy with the care she was given. They helped get my mom on hospice and kept me aware of the hospice staff and how they were doing. The biggest gratefulness I have towards Benton House is when my mom fell and fractured her back. We thought for sure she would have to be placed in a nursing home. They were wonderful to accept her back and told me this was her home. She died a few weeks later, but happy and grateful that she was able to live her final days in a place she eventually fell in love with.

Last nights Thanksgiving dinner was extremely enjoyable. The staff were dressed as pilgrims, the…read moretables were decorated as were the windows, the food was delicious and the feel was was one of family and joy. My mom has been in two other memory care facilities and neither one could hold a candle to the Oaks. The staff is so caring and loving. They treat all the residents like family. The management gets down and dirty with the care staff. Not one of them is hesitant to help care for a resident. I can go on forever in praising the Oaks. I am so thankful that Shelley was persistent in sending me emails inviting me to the upcoming events. That is what led me to choose Oaks when it was time for Mom to move.

I can't say enough great things about the Oaks! The staff is amazing and they genuinely care about…read morethe residents. The facility is beautiful and very well planned out. My mother is very happy living here and she comments often about how kind everyone is. The food is great, they have Chef Mark to plan and prepare the meals. I wish I could eat so well! The staff really go the extra mile, they let me know if there have been any changes with my mom, even if it's something minor. Mom's room is always clean, her laundry is done several time a week and is folded/put away for her. Her bed linens are changed once a week, the trash in her room is emptied daily. I would love to live here one day. Andrew, the Executive Director, is always out and about. He knows all of the residents by name and knows details about each one. He knew me by name before I had even moved my mom in. The Executive Directors at two other communities where my mom lived prior to the Oaks never left their offices and didn't know my name, even though I visited 4-7 days a week. Lynne, the Horizons activities director, is amazing. She has so many great things planned, my mom loves going for rides on the community bus, even if it's just the "scenic joyride" around Woodstock. My mother has lived at three other AL and memory care communities and the Oaks is by far the best. I visited four communities before selecting the Oaks. I also asked around a lot, talked to many people in the industry, including the caregivers, CNAs, etc. They all said how great the Oaks is and how much they would love to work there if given the chance.

My grandmother has lived here for a few years now, and very much enjoys it!…read more From my understanding it is pricey, but the amenities are very nice and plentiful! Two meals per day are included with the rental. There is a casual and a formal dining room, theater room, pool, gym, private dining room, rec room, a shuttle for residents, and more! The activities calendar stays packed -- my social calendar does not compare!! Lol My family booked the theater room over the weekend to have a "family movie day" with my grandma. It was easy to book, the staff was more than helpful, and we had a great time. My grandma moved to a smaller unit after my grandfather passed, and has been happy with the quality of both units. The staff is always pleasant to visitors and the residents are usually smiling when I see them. :)
