Earns Highest Number of Awards Since Program Inception Three
Years Ago As Voted by Residents & Their Family Members
WALTHAM,
Mass., April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Benchmark Senior Living, the largest senior housing
provider in New England, today announced that 44 of its Northeast
continuing care, independent living, assisted living and Mind &
Memory Care communities have been named U.S. News & World
Report "Best" senior living communities, receiving a total of 62
awards. Benchmark was one of only 15 senior living providers in the
entire country to receive the highest number of recognitions.
U.S. News & World Report 2024 Best Senior Living ratings are
designed to ease the process of researching and choosing the right
senior living community by directing consumers to only those who
maintain high standards. Benchmark's U.S. News success this year,
like 2022 and 2023, far outpaced the industry average for achieving
"Best" status.
Benchmark communities achieved Best Continuing Care, Best
Independent Living, Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care
designations by receiving the highest possible ratings in each
category following a comprehensive consumer satisfaction survey.
Residents and their family members gave their Benchmark community
high marks in critical areas, such as safety, care, community
management and staff, value, and other community services and
amenities.
"Our communities are continually pursuing excellence, so it's
exciting to see their hard work and dedication reflected in the
highest numbers of Benchmark awards earned to date," said Tom
Grape, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark. "Really getting to
know our residents and providing experiences that nurture
connections and enhance quality of life is one of the many ways we
stand apart, and we're excited to see that commitment validated,
once again, by our residents and their families."
