My mother has lived at BSL in Hamden for about three months and my family is very impressed with every aspect of the facility. The staff is excellent. The people working at Benchmark actually seem to enjoy their job and their interaction with the residents. There are numerous activities and everyone goes out of their way to be helpful to both the residents and their families.My mother likes the food, service and care and we have peace of mind knowing that she is safe. Management is onsite every day and seems very familiar with all the residents and their needs. Management is also extremely responsive to any needs or concerns.We made the right choice!
These reviews are bs they force the employees to write good reviews to make themselves look desirable. The resident director (Sheba) is incompetent she has favoritism and has other people do her work most of the time. She just hides away in the office and goof off. She needs to be fired I would never recommend a person to work or live in this dumpster fire you call an assisted living! Y'all need to hire better staff too I seen better work etiquette from 16 year olds.
Benchmark in Hamden is providing my parents a caring and comfortable home in their later years of life. My father can be a handful of times, and the aides do a good job with him so my mother doesn’t need to worry all the time.The staff is very polite, and the place is kept very clean.
