Overview of Benchmark Senior Living at Robbins Brook

Benchmark Senior Living at Robbins Brook provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Acton, MA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident lives in a private apartment, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away or recovery.

Having assisted living and memory care in one community can suit a resident whose care needs may grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. The community has 79 beds. Studio and one bedroom layouts offer either one private living space or separate sleeping and living areas. Beth Ambrose, LPN, serves as director.

Monthly starting prices are $8,515 for assisted living and $6,235 for memory care, giving families a care level specific figure for planning monthly expenses. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. Outdoor courtyards, walking paths, landscaped gardens, and a hair salon provide places for outdoor time and personal grooming.

Activities include music, crafts, arts, and exercise classes for groups or individuals. The Mind & Memory Care program adds a named option for residents receiving memory care. Rehabilitation services are available for residents who need therapy, and special diets are offered.
