My sister has been a long-term resident at The Nathaniel Witherell for over two years. Prior to…read morethat she was in a privately owned nursing home in the Midwest. Her quality of life at Nathaniel Witherell is SO superior to that at her previous nursing home. Many staff have been at Nathaniel Witherell for years and are clearly vested in patient care. The facility is lucky to have a large cadre of volunteers who assist with numerous enriching activities - Bingo, Snap, many musical events, religious activities and more. There are special events galore - holiday dinner, ice cream socials, spelling bees. Maintaining high quality of life at a nursing home is difficult, and no place is perfect. Based on my experience with my sister (and my mother prior to that) I can say with confidence that Nathaniel Witherell is superior to other options. Friends and family of residents have the option of joining the Family Council whose members meet regularly with administration to provide feedback on what's going well and what's not.

After 50 years in their beloved home it became obvious that my parents would do better in an…read moreassisted living facility. It was a daunting and emotionally difficult task for everyone in the family. Thank goodness for Atria! Our first interaction was with Frank Mastrone, the Community Sales Director. Frank listened attentively and understood our challenge. It was clear that he wanted a positive experience for my parents. There was no pressure or pushy sales pitches and we all felt comfortable throughout the process. I'll start with the facility: it's beautiful. The large and nicely appointed lobby opens on to the lounge, which in turn opens to the garden. Besides seating areas and paths around the flower beds, the garden has a fountain, koi pond and play area for the grandkids. It's lovely. The dining room is bright, spacious and the flowers and table linens give a sense of elegance. And the food! Wow! They had us at the appetizer. In addition to the dining room, there's a nice bistro with sandwiches, salads and snacks. We looked at one and two bedroom apartments as well as a studio. All were bright, fresh, airy and nicely furnished. My parents selected a west facing one bedroom unit and their sunset view is amazing. My dad enjoys the afternoon games and both enjoy the exercise and tai chi classes. They haven't yet availed themselves of the movie theater (super comfy) where there's a daily matinee and evening show, but they have enjoyed the concerts and live performances. Everyone on staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very caring with the residents. The nursing staff is attentive and really on top of the details; I'm very grateful for their care. Denese Brooks, the Executive Director, takes a personal interest in the family's experience and has been very helpful in figuring out logistical issues. I'm so happy that my folks are at Atria! I live on the opposite coast, so knowing that they're safe and well cared for is a big relief. More important, however, they are happy, comfortable, enjoying themselves and making new friends. It's pretty great. Olga P.

In mid summer my mother became extremely ill in her hometown of TR NJ and after a lengthy…read morehospitalization and rehab we were forced to make the difficult decision to relocate her up to CT near us. My mother had no input in the selection due to her illness and because we told the rehab facility we were not interested in leaving her in NJ they decided to discharge her with little notice to our family. Dylan was extremely accommodating and met my sister and I on a Sunday. He arranged for someone from Sunrise to observe and document her condition at the NJ rehab and jumped hoops to help us move her quickly. Yes, there are a few unfavorable reviews we saw on the web but we checked the DPH licensing web and checked on things like service or health violations as part of our decision to move mom to BG. They bent a rule and let us move her on a holiday weekend since we had to get her in sooner when the NJ facility gave us two days notice of a discharge date of Friday before labor day. As my mother has improved, she has come to consider this her home with new friends. The staff have been kind and considerate of her recovery and care. They give her choices in her wardrobe selection and activities since she is wheelchair bound at this point. She loves her meals and feels happy, much happier as time passes, AJ, the ED has answered each and every question that we come up with, is very responsive and the receptionists are so helpful. We decided at the 11th hour of closing up her house to bring up her kitty after the first month who is also elderly and the staff has been wonderful with Timmy. I hope in considering choosing BG you will visit and check all sources, talk to staff and tour the facility. You will see for yourself that many factors go into a big decision with what is best for your parent or family member. We have found all the staff to be courteous and considerate and right down to the Director of Facilities, who responds quickly to complaints if any. The fact that Mom is close to myself, my two other siblings and we can see she is happy is a bonus. That and the friends I have made with other resident's family members. For our family it is a win win all the way around. And, then....let me tell you all about Bear........

Residents at Sunshine Senior Residence in Stamford, CT, receive that care and more from the amazing caregivers at their assisted living facilities. With private rooms, 24-hour care, and warming floor plans, seniors have never felt more at home. Located in quiet and private residential communities, these senior care facilities offer many amenities at their two locations, Fox Hill Residence and Lake Claire Residence. Rooms are outfitted with state of the art CO2, smoke, and fire detectors, individual control of the room's heating and cooling system, 24-hour monitoring by staff and security cameras, safety rails for residents with limited mobility, a registered nurse with 24/7 on-call availability, and more. Their two assisted living facilities are located in areas easily accessible for family but far enough away that there aren't the same distractions as those built near or in urban areas. With a limited amount of rooms, they foster a home-like, family-friendly atmosphere. Pets are welcome as well, so residents never have to feel isolated or alone. No matter what you're look for from an assisted living facility, you'll find their facilities offer everything you need from a caring and welcoming senior care facility...

Any time we came to visit, there was a happy buzz in the air. Not only is every single person on staff highly trained and always upbeat, but the facility is very pretty, nicely decorated and cozy, inside and out. Benchmark helped us get a speedy move-in date, and did everything they could to keep our mother, who was in memory care, busy and feeling loved. We were delighted by the constant array of events that were planned for the residents. One of our favorites was the Brazilian jazz lunch that had a huge live band a buffet to fit the theme. Many people got up to dance and all the residents were smiling. We noticed that all the staffers went out of their way to talk to all residents in the halls when passing by - always sharing a witty line to help the residents feel a part of a larger community. We feel it takes a special understanding of this community to do a great job and it comes from the top down. The company does a fine job on all levels. Highly recommended! Thank you again to all at Benchmark for taking great care of our mother and giving our family peace of mind during a difficult time. As they say, it takes a village- and Benchmark is best village. Fondly, the Haydens
