Overview of Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn

Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Woburn, MA. Assisted living helps with daily tasks while a resident keeps an apartment, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Opened in 2016, the community has 87 beds. Housing includes studios, one-bedroom units, and two-bedroom units. A studio provides one private space, while a two-bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Starting monthly rates are $8,670 for assisted living and $8,975 for memory care; a two-bedroom option starts at $11,865 per month.

Residents can spend time outdoors in the courtyards and along walking paths, and the fitness room supports exercise. A hair salon and barber shop offer on-site grooming, while scheduled transportation serves medical appointments and community events. Pets are allowed, and the community offers a Mind & Memory Care program and rehabilitation services. A Walk Score of 67 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, where some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage some nearby errands independently.
