Best Overall
The staff at Shrewsbury Crossings are wonderful. They are always smiling and greet not only residents but family as well. Everyone is willing to help my mom out when needed. Even the little guy in the kitchen!
I would absolutely recommend them and have already! Mom sits in with sales director to greet and answer questions that interested people ask.

A place Mom could call Home.
The staff always had smiles and was always willing to lend a hand. The facility is well maintained and kept clean. A place that we were happy to have our Mom living in. The activity leader was very engaging. Frequently getting the residents to engage. I frequently heard how happy my Mom was when she was willing and able to participate.

A Good Move for Mom
Over all a huge improvement from where my loved one was at before. Our family is pleased with all aspects. The cost increase was well worth it. Mom actually improving, which at 90+ speaks volumes. I would recommend Benchmark Senior Living at Shrewsbury Crossings to others.

Overall Good Experience
We've had a very good experience overall. The staff are all very polite and knowledgeable. Being completely new to senior living, I expected a little more regarding the care, but they do a good job overall. Our loved one is constantly not wearing his call button, but I do see the staff bringing it to him when they notice. And I understand that they can't watch him every second, 24 hours a day. He's settling in and enjoys playing piano there. He also enjoys the activities, They show movies, bring in entertainment once a week, and have a lot for the residents to do.

Tour experience
The gal who was showing me around on the tour was great and did a really good job. She was very informative and friendly. They had a lot of nice choices on room sizes and layouts. The pricing here is "al a carte" and I needed something all inclusive so that I would know the exact amount that I would be paying each month. It was just not the right fit for us but it is a lovely place.

The facility and the staff are both great. I like that you do not have to buy in and you only have to give 30 days notice if you want to move out. My mom has really enjoyed her time here so far and we would definitely recommend Benchmark Senior Living to others

Mom's Care
It has been a good experience. Mom has only been there a couple of months, and she still wants to go home - although I think that would happen anywhere she was. But it has been good for her and good for us. I like the staff. They're friendly and very helpful. Anything you need done, they do it. They really try to get the residents involved in activities as best they can. They had a sing-along the other day that I sat in on, and it was fun. I have not been able to try the food yet because of Covid, but they offered me some of the chocolate cake the other day, and it was delicious.

Hoping for improvement
We are not very happy with them. Our loved one is in assisted living and has been hurt twice, the medications have been messed up multiple times, and my loved one has been left sitting there for an hour when she told them she had to go to the bathroom. It seems like a good place and the employees are really nice, but they seem short handed especially in the early morning and overnight.

The right place for assistance and advice.
It depends on the person, but it's a great fit for my cousin. She loves the place. All she does is rave about how sweet and nice the staff are to her. And they help me so much getting her to do certain things. They know just how to handle her and have a great way with her. They're very respectful. She knows her way around - it's not too big of a community, so she doesn't get lost and it it doesn't feel overpowering. It's a great place for somebody who is low-key and laid-back. It has a home-like atmosphere, and we got to bring her own furniture and décor so it feels like home to her. The apartments are beautiful. The food is excellent. They have a lot of activities for the residents, and they encourage them to go. I feel like I'm getting a good value for what they charge. I can't say enough good things about it. Everything has worked out so well. If you're at a loss for a place to go, this is the right place.

A fabulous place. Like a 5-star hotel for my loved one.
They're excellent. They would be my first recommendation. My loved one is in a locked unit for memory care, and the staff is wonderful. I can't believe how they never raise their voice to a patient. They always speak softly, and that's fabulous. The residents' days are filled with activities if they choose to participate. I found the cost to be more reasonable than other places I looked at, yet their facilities are a lot better. I can't complain. My loved one has her own private room and bathroom. And It's very nice, like a 5-star hotel.

My Overall Thoughts
They're wonderful. They keep things very clean. Every time he spills something on the floor, they come right in and shampoo the rug where he spilled. His apartment is always clean. After I had been in there just one day, they already knew my name when I walked in the door. They make visiting very easy. The care they provide is excellent . They're very concerned about everything that he does, and they take very good care of him. They've gone out of their way to soften the food for him. They have plenty of activities, and they always ask and invite him to participate even though he always declines. I think it's a little expensive., but they provide great care.

Friendly, caring, and concerned
The community was clean. We didn't have any issues in this regard, in fact we were quite pleased. The cleaning staff was very sweet as well. The care giving staff often went above and beyond with the care of my mother. They would do whatever they could for her. They were very good with communicating with us about my mothers care as well. Both the nursing director and the executive directors were great. They would immediately address any of our concerns, including a concern regarding price at the very beginning before my mother moved in. We were so glad we chose this community for her, she seemed at home here. The activities were good, although my mother didn't often participate. They would have someone come once a week and play music and sing with the residents, which my mother loved. When my mother did pass away, they were very accommodating. We would definitely recommend Benchmark at Shrewsbury Crossing.

Thank you!
My husband was admitted to Shrewsbury Crossings Assisted Living 2 weeks ago, and his adjustment period is still ongoing. However, I am already seeing some very positive changes. He is trying to communicate more, he’s smiling, he loves the food and the staff members, and seems generally more content. For my part, I’m able to get some rest knowing that he is in good hands every night. So thanks to everyone at Shrewsbury Crossings for helping to make my husband feel welcome and for improving his quality of life!

I think this senior living facility is awesome, and so hope to be able to get my mom in here in the near future. Upon arrival, it is very welcoming, and the staff and residents are all so happy.
They really took the time to review my mother's needs, and guided me to the whole process. In the end, it is at the top of our list for my mother.

On the Older Side
We took a tour of Benchmark Senior Living. I didn't think that the community was too bad. It was nice enough, but it is on the older side. We were hoping for something more up to date for our loved ones, so we decided to look at other communities.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.
