Benchmark at Alexandria

Everything about Benchmark at Alexandria was very well kept up and had an elegant design, nice big high ceilings, and big windows. We had a lovely lunch. The woman who helped us there was marvelous, so it was a very positive experience. I have two parents. One needs to go to memory care, and one will go to independent living, and there wasn't a place where they could be together, but they could be close to each other on different floors. For my mother, we were looking at studios. For my father, we're looking at a one-bedroom. All of them, on every floor, had very high ceilings and big, high windows, which added to the space. The rooms were a bit on the big side compared to the other places we've been. The food was delicious. Everything was very nicely kept. It was still sort of snowy out, so we didn't go into the courtyard. My father commented afterwards that there was just really nothing to complain about. The people seemed content. It's in beautiful shape. It's quite a new building, just a couple of years old.

My mom was a resident of Benchmark at Alexandria. I liked that it was very new, and everyone was very knowledgeable and helpful. The facility was very clean. It had a sort of hotel-like feel. It's a long but not wide building, so the floor was just this big corridor, and at the end, there was a larger room where you could do stuff. It's not like some other places I might describe as a really big house. It was more like a facility. It was very expensive, but everyone at her level of care was about the same price, or at least there wasn't anyone significantly cheaper in this type of larger facility. The rooms were a decent size, and the layout was easy to understand.

I toured Benchmark at Alexandria's assisted living last month. They were having a change of staff and were just setting up the facility. We ate lunch there, and it was very tasty and good. They had quite a selection and a variety of food available. As far as the food service, it was really good.

I had a lovely tour of Benchmark at Alexandria. They were ready for me. They were very professional. The place was spotless, but it wasn't a good fit for my husband. It wasn't his style. It reminded me of a hotel when you go to travel on business, and my husband hates business travel. But the people were very nice. They gave me some muffins, and they were delicious. The people who were there in the dining room seemed to be enjoying it.
